fair enough but it would be a shame to miss Heartburn, Excalabur and South Pit etc as well the other bits of ‘natural’ trail. I only go to Afan to ride Skyline these days everything else is or is getting worn out and less fun to ride (and I only live 20 mins down the road).

@ br – but then you havn’t done Skyline.

Skyline.

drop bars on rigids the way to go!

i had the non bc rubber queens in 26 (2.2) – death on a stick, but i have non bc race kings on the 29er (2.2) and i find them very good.

I have both 26er ht and 29er monster cross ht. I keep having to convince myself that the 26er is still as much fun to ride as it feels all wrong somehow (was fine til I had the 29er)- its days are numbered. Anyone got a Swift they want to sell?

No.

unauthorised works on common land are unlawful – see commons act 2006. the common will belong to someone – ask the commons registration officer at the county council to check the ownership section of the commons register.

Do you suffer with asthma. What is you peak flow?

Ive done a quite a few equity release schemes for clients. I think the ones to be avoided involve the sale and lease back of the house to and from the loan provider i.e your nan sells the house and leases back. Go for one that sits as a mortgage on the property then your nan’s executors will retain a greater degree of control on any future sale. Also make sure that the scheme is portable and also covers negative equity situations – where the house when sold is worth less than the debt – some schemes will take the value of the house in full settlement. These schemes are very expensive money and carry hefty penalties if you want to come out of them early – they can also effect entitlement to benefit and assistance with care costs.

when did you leave them – nothing there yesterday evening.

I would think the long cage if going for the set up you mention.

Port Talbot is nice this time of the year.

You used to be able to put stuff in the railway station lockers = used to leave spare climbing gear etc there when off in the hills for a few days.

Any more Gryphon pics

I have mine set up with Ragley Luxy bars (drops). 1×10 11/36, 105 STI shifters, American Classic AM wheelset with Conti 2.2 Race Kings. Great bike, does everthing from the singletrack at Brechfa, to all day forest road/sustran route rides.

Swift for me

thanks all

South and Mid Wales natural and trail centre stuff.

anyone?

I have a Pauls chainkeeper on the 26 which is a Kinesis Versa and nothing on the Gryphon without much of a problem.

I run an Uno 1×10 (11/36) on both my 26″ and 29er and it works with no problems – xt med mech on both as well. 3/32 Uno.

there was a great article in Privateer about Apps – issue 3.

Pilot Officer OLR Hills, grandfather, shot down and killed in his Mosquito somewhere over the North Sea 1943.

Im Brian and so’s my cat.

if you go for a Versa make sure you get the upgraded version of the frame which has the thicker seat tube.

Glad to see your a born again Skyline fan Hugor after panning it for being duff a while back 😉

The Gryphon is a drop specific mtb frame. Its way more comfy off road than my flat bared 26er.
