I would only send to the verified address on paypal!

How do you know it was a wire you hit?
Could it of been a bit of old metal conduit?
There were loads of it in our house when we moved a few walls around.

Maybe DC Shoes should put their name to this style of driving
Car Skating

Limers gate starts just above Pecket Well, its the lomg dotted line on the map.

Good advise from Dave about keeing off when wet, its crap!

There used to be a wooden railway near to Blakedean, is that the one your thinking of?
I always seem to bump into the same few guys walking thier dogs behind Midgley, guess when you buy a dog up there you get a small amount of moor with it :lol: , miserable buggers.

Anything after 6pm on a weekday ;-)

There are one or two bridleways over Midgley Moor
Limers Gate
Which is good if you ride from Keighley Road to Castle Carr.
There are also loads of tracks, most of which arent on maps, that are great to ride, but are footpaths!
I occasionally get a bit of grief off walkers but tend to take no notice of what they have to witter about :wink:
Best thing to do, as you suggest, is go and ride ;-)

I 2nd what Neil said, i tried Fox 36s on mine and while it felt great going down it was horrid for climbing and flat peddaly stuff!

Bought a 2nd hand Cove Handjob frame, built it up and hated it, which was a surprise as i have a Stiffee and a Hustler already.
Annoying thing is i sold a really nice 853 Inbred to fund the Handjob purchase….. so if any one has an 18″ for sale let me know :lol: please!

Hi, i just took mine out 15mins ago, just knocked them out from the opposite side.
Its an ’05 frame with 2 bearings if it makes a difference,
used a home made press, out of threaded bar and washers, to put them back in again though!

Dont loose the washers between the swing arm and bearings!

Looks good, black spiders/ inserts on the brakes would of been better!
But hey wait till you ride it, i love mine :-)

Good of them to sort you out, hope you manage to get in touch with them.

Last year a group of us found a young women, who had been left behind by her mates, with a flat tyre and no tools etc nr the top of Spooky Wood.
So a couple of our group gave her a tube and helped fit it.
We saw her in The Hub later and the miserable cow didnt even offer to buy a coffee or say thanks.
Im sure most folk i ride with would still help anybody on the trailside in need of it though.

Dont get one too big ;-)

Or dont even bother with a car

Maybe have a nosey on the Broad street car boot first thing Sun AM and watch Ebay obsessively!
Found my stolen On One on ebay several years back, in bits, Police were next to useless but did get some parts back using other methods!
A couple of guys i ride with are from down your way and will be riding with them tonight so ill ask em to keep an eye out for them.

What about On One/ DMR hubs
They are very well priced, use cartridge bearings and have served me well.
I find
Shimano Freehub bodys die within 3-6 months and
Hope rears are fairly poor, bearings always seemed to go and cracked two XCs, i havent tried a Pro 11 on the rear.
I ride all year in Calderdale muck and grime

Ive stayed at this one before
http://www.castlecary-caravans.com/tariff.htm
there is a pub/ bar on site and its near enough to ride to the trail.

Zedsdead-Doubt ive been done, he is a good mate, i bought the parts myself online.
I had both the clutch and concentric part replaced, there seemed little point in just replacing the clutch plate and then having to take it apart again when the rest went.

The price is probably about right!
I have just had mine done on a ’99 Vectra
Kit cost £150
Local garage fitted it for £180 as hes a mate

Lots of cars have a fancy bearing on them now, think its called a concentric clutch, but could be wrong on that!
If you decide to have it replace dont just replace the plate, do it all at the same time!

I have probably just doubled the price of the car having it done :wink:
but everything else works fine and is much cheaper than buying another motor.

Virgintrains seems to be coming up with £67, for travelling up Sat and coming back Sun.

Yes!
Once went in on a sunday night at 5 past 5, apparently the sale had just ended :D

So has anybody received the parts that Chelsey posted?

No worries, some of the tracks over Midgley are better than others, but hard to explain which as some are not really shown on the map, just go ride em, you will only get it wrong once :wink:

What about, up from Oxenhope down to Ogden, up to Withins, down to Wainstalls, across MIdgley Moor to Pecket Well and down to Hardcastle craggs?
Or if you feel like been cheeky
go over Wuthering Heights, but prob not on a busy sunny Sunday/ bank Hol Monday.
There are loads of routes, have alook on the OS map

Another vote for The Stiffee,
hard to put into words as to why its so good, just try one if you get chance!

I was one of the “mugs” who donated, only a pound, and would again, just so he could afford his hair cut;-)

You mean a pair just like these

I have an ’05 model i bought 2nd hand last Sept.
I am runnimg it with a set off Z1 Freerides taken of my Stiffee and a Fox float with lockout it climbs well and goes down even better as it covers for most mistakes i make 8)
Two small things i can fault it for are the, rear mech bangs against the chainstay in most of the lower gears on fast rough descents and the rear gear cable has a tendency to jump out of the cable stops after a biggish hit, cured this by drilling the stops out and using full outers.
But overall i like it.
If youre thinking 2nd hand i would go for the newer model as they use a 190mm eye to eye shock which are easy to obtain should you need to replace, mine takes an obscure size, 185mm

Ha ha ha i was thinking that as i typed, especially now your thinking about using a hammer!!!

The part mastiles mentions is called the Thermocouple, it could be that and is quite easy to replace, you could do it yourself before you ring that expensive heating engineer ;-)

Or has the water pressure dropped?

Each house owner is resposible for the boundry to the right of each house were i live, rebuild a wall last summer on the side im responsible for, which cost a fortune in materials alone.
On the other side were 12 humongous Leylandii which needed chopping down and replacing, the neighbour on that side is an old women with not much cash so ive bitten the bullet and started removing them myself, its already cost a fair bit in tools/ hire of chainsaw etc and i dont have much spare cash either but hey it needs doing!
She came out tonight whilst i was digging the roots out and gave me 20 quid to get a drink for my goodwill/ hardwork, so yes, what goes around comes around, i think.
i did break off early once i had beer tokens though 8)

Your first mistake was to believe a bank! :wink:
Even though the cash has gone from your account doesnt mean its in theirs immediatly, it can still take up to three days, despite what the bank told you!
He did sound a bit arsey though and very rude/ immature to put the phone down on a customer.

Ha ha ha this aint the same knock as usual !
And they didnt do it before i took them apart?!?

Check the APR with these guys

Bargain!!!! 8O

Shimanos that havent been abused should be fine and not expensive!
Hopes are fine if you like to constantly mess with them, yes every little part can be replaced but they are like a stunning women, high maintenance! 8)
I sold my Hopes 18 months ago and have run Deores, LX and XT across my bikes with no probs.

It was meant for Eldridge who started the topic :wink:

Worked for me as a kid ;-)

Have a look at a Cove Hustler, theres a small on ebay, not mine,
I wanted a bike that fitted similar requirements to the ones you list and bought a 2nd hand frame and its great!
They are quite burly but not over heavy, im fairly hard on my bikes and this seems to cope.
Climbs well and goes down even better!
Shes welcome to take mine for a spin if you get nr Hebden Bridge,

Hi im still interested in the spare battery if you would still like to sell it.

You need to ask Jasper Carrot for help ;-)

The bike wasnt for me but what a good idea Zedsdead!
Sent you a pound, just do someone a small favour over the weekend in return
