Another one Sam?! What did you do this time?!

Was out Sunday riding way down west near Penzance,was very wet and went to ride across a big rock,front wheel slid down the side of it and into a gully,this pitched me straight off ther side of the bike and sideways onto my shoulder. Now have soft tissue damage/muscle and a very swollen shoulder..X-rays showed no break but looks like at least 4-6 weeks to sort it.The doctor said that it could take longer to sort than a break,have limited movement and is very painfull..No riding again for me..Getting to old to keep hurting myself

Coast path is very good around there,Ride steady and smile and say hello to walkers.

Would show you around but out of action after and off on Sunday

I think its all done at the crown,Lowers are all the same

Takes me 20-30 mins to warm up and get rid of the dead legs and no power feeling.Once warmed up i am ok for 100% effort

As long as the wave is less than 720ft,i will stay at home..

Either crank arm or has pulled the pedal threads and the pedal isnt screwing in straight

Did an on the spot repair for a young lady on Saturday,had no money on her and the gear cable snapped whilst riding.
Repaired the cable,2 hrs later she popped back in and brought fresh chocolate cookies and the money for the cable..

There are still some good people out there.

Nicolai AC 650b and a Trek superfly 100 sl,Both are about £5000 builds

Love the Coffee ones,Hate the tooth shattering/filling removers

I run a standard post on my Trek Superfly 100 sl,its my XC bike so dont really need one. My Nicolai AC has a Reverb,this bike is my trail bike that i do all the really steep and technical trails on.

I dont think i will fit one to my Trek,as i prefer to keep it as light as possible and its just over 24lbs.

I had a Trek stache 7 and found the standard front gears to be not enough,In the end i upgraded to SLX 28/40.

Strange that you need smaller.

As someone has mentioned you will need to go 22/36.

Ok

I am quite lucky as i have trails within a mile of my house, Missus works full time Monday-Friday, I work 5 days in 7,but as we are busiest at the weekend i usually have days off during the week,so kids are at school and i can get out and ride.

Stans and Bontrager used here,both work well

Carlos Sainz will be driving

BBQ food is cooking now,was a bit late getting back from my ride

My new Nicolai AC 650b

And the new 142×12 rear end with post mount caliper mount

robbieh- email me mate.

Have thursday and friday off next week, will have to be a gentle ish ride as i crashed a few weeks ago and my hand/wrist isnt 100% yet

theres a lot of riding,can give a few rides too people if they are around my area.

18bikes, Few of my mates have ridden it on CX bikes,theres a few sections that are a bit rough,but most of it is smooth enough

Have used Dampfs and Ralphs and used Bontragers and some maxxis on the 2 sets of Flows i have owned.all sealed fine and were easy to fit

Some good riding around Madron area,,Plenty of singletracks.

I am near Redruth and can maybe take you out for a few miles,Did have an off 2 weeks ago so not 100% yet due to hand problems

email in profile

Look very nice Loco,Would look even nicer mounted to my brand new AC 650b frame..

Cant wait for mine to arrive

Have 2 sets of BOR hubs,are very similar to Tune. Very light and well made.

nicolaisam what frame is that and weight please

Brought as complete bike,so dont know the frame weight.

Its the Trek superfly 100 SL Elite frame in 19″,the chainstay is Aluminium on this model.

radoggair – Member

need to get rid of the spacers and flip the stem on that one

erm,No i dont

My Trek Superfly 100 SL Elite.

Now has full XX groupset.

24.33 lbs

Had a set of Morewood decals from them last week.

I contacted them through facebook,very good quality decals.

will use again

Had the same issue on my Fit 32,Bracken flicked the lever into climb mode.wasnt the most comfortable descent..

Been on holiday for the last 6 days.Been sunny every day,shame i crashed my bike on day 2 and havent ridden since. Hand is still swollen and painfull.

26 degrees down here today..Loving it

Nicolai AC

Would show you around but had an Incident at 20 mph yesterday at Cardinham.

Some amazing riding around St Agness etc.

weather is stunning..

In Cornwall,way down West

Was out on my AC today,1st time in a month,Forgot how much fun that bike is,And its pretty quick for a 32 lb bike.

4 KOM and a 21 mile ride in 26 degrees..

Cant wait untill friday for the most rocky and unfriendly trails that i ride..It feels at home on them.

If its an El Guapo,my mates did exactly the same.

Most 130mm forks that have a tapered steerer and 15 mm axle are pretty stiff nowadays.
Would be a very good trail bike running 130mm.
I decided that i wanted a 1 bike for everything at the time.But now also have a Trek superfly 100 SL 29er as my XC bike,Its fast and light but isnt as much fun or as confidence inspiring as the AC for ridng,the AC makes you wanna hop off stuff and use Roots as small kickers and send it off small jumps and drops
