Good vids guys :-D

Charge Bikes >>>>>>>>>>

Kev – signed up…nickname is orena45 :-)

Thanks for the suggestions folks, will take a look at these ones for our office league!

Middle-ish also
Purple Raceface top, On One Scandal.

Looking forward to the vids too :-)

Sooty – Cheers, I did at one point think I saw flaming torches and pitchforks being waved in the distance :-D

Caption competition for photo 3? :lol:

Ride stats if anyone’s interested…

Another thanks from me, had a really good time despite buggering my mech hanger – at least it was near the cafe/shop stop so I could get it fixed (thanks to the chap for fitting it and letting me get back on the trails after) Also, big thanks for the push-back I got from a couple of guys (sorry, forgot who it was that pushed me – beer’s on me next time!)

My GPS recorded 19 miles for those of us that hung around the ‘downhill’ area towards the end.

Definitely up for a summer ride and barbeque! :D

Where’s Olly when ya need him?!

Some new SLX chain rings for me and a new LX shifter to replace the one I broke at Penmachno couple of weeks back. Happy days.

Also worth noting that accidents are only recorded if they occur on public highway – so any accidents on private roads or many off-road cycle paths won’t be recorded.

Handy information though

We will be expecting a goody bag at the end of the ride too as a nice memento of the day :D

Should still be up for it – will probably be on my Scandal and answering to the name Andy!

Where: Derby (Oakwood, Chad, City centre)
When: 7-8am, 4-5pm
What: Grey Specialized Sirrus, Navy Crumpler courier bag

Not having been there, is this the cafe’s location?:

Could be up for that as I’ve never ridden there before despite only living down the road in Derby! :-)

£129 plus £89 if Mojo fitted them, so £218 altogether. Alternatively, you buy and fit yourself for £149.

I emailed Mojo last week with the same question, this is the response I had:

Yes you can fit the QR15 lowers onto your forks. The lowers are £149 if you want to fit them yourself and this includes the lowers, axle, seals and decals.

We can also fit them for £129 and that’s on top of a £89 service charge.

:-)

(Didn’t ask about colours though)

A few of us did a two-dayer last weekend, (coming from the East Mids) we did Llandegla on Saturday then carried on and stayed overnight in Betws-Y-Coed before doing Penmachno on Sunday. Was a top weekend’s riding for all I think :-)

That would be Andrew_f, although not sure if that’s still his forum name since Stw 2 began?

Having fun… :D

Not having fun (but putting a brave face on)… :|

Off to Wales this weekend with Olly, Markenduro, Blackhound and a couple more to finish our winter tour of North Wales trail centres, Llandegla tomorrow, Penmachno Sunday…both firsts for me, can’t wait! :-D

Woolworths

Nah you’re alright Mark, got me wheel back after (very reluctantly) paying up…didn’t fancy wheelieing Llandegla and Penmachno this weekend!

swadey – I won’t name names (as such) but they’re commonly known locally by way of a similar sounding name involving the word ‘Scam’ :wink:

Thanks again coatsey – just emailed via Trek’s website so hopefully will hear back soon. If not, I’ll give you a shout!

Thanks for the info coatesy. Definatley never had a c-spanner when I got the bike so will drop Trek a line and see what they have :-)

Works fine with my Trek Fuel EX – I just make sure it’s centred then tighten the clamp up.

Been running an XT Shadow mech for nearly a year now with absolutely no problems whatsoever. Quieter, crisp shifting – would recommend one :-)

antigee – see my post earlier in the thread regarding Maid Marian, catchy tune involved from the best kids show ever. Fact! :-)

Just entered (my first Enduro), no. 123 – it’s gonna be a busy May for me – this on the 3rd, doing the Scottish C2C later in the month and then the Bike Radar 12hr at the end!!!…

i better start training :-S

It’s Pancake Day
Yes it’s Pancake Day
It’s p-p-p-p-p pancake day

:-D

Shimano MP56/66’s are surprisingly good weatherproof shoes – been riding mine all winter with Sealskinz and my feet stay dry and toasty :-)

Haha at the (7up sponsored) one above – How low can you go!?!

Timraven – Where did you get the QR15 lowers from or fitted, and how much? I read in a bike mag a while back that Mojo where going to provide this but not seen anything advertised anywhere.

Oh yeah, and to stay on topic…I’ve had a Fuel EX8 for nearly a year now and rate it highly ;-)

Bit late now dude, but you could’ve nipped over to Leisure Lakes at Breaston as they’re open on Sundays.

Yeah that’s the pic I was trying to find to add to my post – you really can see how much difference there is!

I’m slowly getting used the new size wings front and back…I think the cars look better in may ways as a result of getting rid of all those hideous winglets stuck on all over the place – the cars look much cleaner now.

Not sure about the pillows but I bought some Fox fork oil and Float Fluid from my nearest Leisure Lakes couple weeks ago.

Talking of pronouncing stuff, what about “Thule”, bike rack people?

When I phoned up the customer service phone line recently, the lovely sounding lady on the answer machine pronounced it “Too-lay”…made me feel a bit of tool for calling it “Thewl” :?
