DIRT

i think they were all ok at the time? quadra 21's were awesome atthe time, remember when 60mm was long travel! i had some duke sl's, worked well.

loved my judy DH's! just wish my lyric 2 steps had a better service interval 🙁

mag 21's were ground breaking, kind of wish they'd go back to that proper oil bath system

i went round on my mountain king 2.4 's ok? in fact they gripped well. but i would like to try some kenda small block 2.4's, i reckon they'd be ace. mate has some on his SC and they seem to grip well in everything except deep(ish) mud 😀

4. but like simon not always energy drink, once a month or so i use those milton tablets just to clean it out properly

I would have a look at guisburn, i'm in preston and tried it last week and enjoyed it, lots on singletrack and some really interesting stuff there. really well built too. Nothing scary or anything but it will keep you entertained all the way round. thinks its around the 10-12 mile mark? 2 laps maybe?

For the recored I like Llandegla too, plus they've built some new stuff there thats meant to be quite good, not sure if thats open though?

no one?

How much for the 1200 lumen one on your website trout?

I'm interested to know prices too please trout, again email in profile if you don't want to discuss pricing (built versions only)

i really like them too, i'm going to try a rubber queen on the front soon as someone has said they aren't great off camber and i would have to agree with that, very quick though for a 2.4

crikey – no your not missing the point, its is riduculous 😉

The point is though this shouldn't of happened in the first place? should freehubs just fall out? and this is common with hope hubs!

i love that climb, well as much as you can love a climb but its interesting and has a really good descent afterwards. the MBR loop that was published was ace starting from wilf's

i liked guisburn, for during the week its really good. i'm up for rivi one night this week too! i'll do guisburn tuesday and rivi wed or thurs? any good?

i was thinking one night this week actually? and i was going to do guisburn again too

mate thats well nice! bet its great to ride, fast i bet! out this weekend then? listen a big thanks to both you guys for the ride thursday night, enjoyed in man. got some other pedals on there now ha ha

aint it

give me a break there's 8 pages! 😉

whats the crack withe the way marking? went round the other night but people showed us round, don't think i could find the way again 🙂

i have both the frame mounted ones and fork mounted on the roof at the minute. had to buy one fork mounted as my new bike wouldn't allow a frame mount. they are both thule ones and are both excellent.

there's only one problem, well not problem more a design floor, and thats that i can't lock my bike on to the rack like the frame mounted ones because i have a 20mm axle, so it attaches via the maxxle, all safe and secure mounting wise but not locked on, just means i have to remember a lock if its going to be left anywhere, which to be honest it never is but could have done with it on the ferry a few weeks ago?!

i like it a lot

got it! yeah tickled trout is no problem, what sort of time? 5ish? i'm easy on what day

i'm just off the M6 guys, new hall lane? send sometihng to my email account in profile and we'll get some thing sorted! i finish work at 4 so can be ready by 5?

its a horrible seatpost, whether frames are meant to have layback or not they shouldn't have to look like that 😆

he was in the bowling and no unfortunately i couldn't make the opening doo, i'm going up to see him a week saturday, this is his second one!

ss ones worked for me in les gets

was awesome mate, wet the last two days like which put a dampner (like that?) on things. but was good. just looking to get out again soon. was fancing llanegla this weekend, haven't been for ages.

Not fussy either way really? haven't ridden Guisburn yet? i've heard its good? can't get the car till 5:30 ish so get there about 6:30? your from preston aren't you like me?

thats awesome, my uncle was competing in it too 🙂

unfortunatley there's so many, particually my '00/01 sworks dh bike, my 01 cove stiffee and recently sold an 853 rock lobster which i miss

i'm all ears too as i have a couplke of jackets (gill and altura) which needs doing too

there isn't really a solution as the pads absorb the oil, then emit it under heat, i.e when you need the power the most. I got some muc off disc cleaner that works if you know when you've put the oil on and apply straight away (apparently) seems to have worked for me?

I'd just buy some more pads from superstar

absolutlely stunning, i'd have the saint 4 pots though, but then i would as i've got some 😀 just got back from les gets and i have to say i really rancy a dh bike again, just trying to justify it and find places to ride it near me (NW england)?

Brant,

Have to say this is a market that could be exploited with the right product. I have a speedball that is a good product except for the complete lack of longevity. The function is good but like someone else has said on here, the rotational play is excessive and happens quickly. An issue for me (rightly or wrongly) is also asthetics. The speedball (joplin) are a good looking item, the gravity dropper is one of the ugliest products known to man.

Due to the situtaion of spare parts becoming obselete for my maverick i'll be after another adjustable seatpost, the thing is i don't think any of the current products are any good, or at least proven to be reliable.

I'd certainly be interested with any proucts you come up with?

i've done it a couple of times and i intend on doing it again probably on a 29'r that i'm fancying. Done it on an mtb twice, once with slicks once with treaded tyres. easy route depending on how many days you take. I did it in two which was tough for me the second time and yet the first was easier?

see what i mean, all of them seem to have problems? 🙄

I'm going to have to have a look at them. I seem to remember a review which said they were the best of the bunch. Do they have much play?

Its obvious that in a very short time parts are going to become almost impossible to get for my maverick.

I still find it incredible that a high value product like this can a) go out of production so quickly and b) after doing so spare parts become obselete so quickly. Is there not some law that spare parts have to be made available for a certain amount of given time? Or is that just cars?

Guide block is only half the battle though, the black sleeve is obviously the other half, which is nigh on impossible to source in my size

"Then just buy a Gravity Dropper and stop whinging"

Is this post relaible? My point is that it seems a major gample with in excess of £200 spent on something that you don't know how reliable it is/isn't? Plus its ugly as sin!!!

The lad above which I have mentioned has, and the link above in the states also has them. but in my case i need the black outer sleeve and thats like rocking horse poo in a 31.6 size (£45 in 30.9).

definately a flawed design
