just come back after spending the weekend there did innerlaithen friday GT black sat and red on sunday it was wet but track deals really well apart just odd puddles, but they have diverted a bit on black that just a mud slide good fun though going sidewards all way down

cynic it could have been but never got it from climbing on a bike, saddle has to come down for hills other wise it tries to violate me, then i forget how high it was up. I ride quite a lot so its a tad annoying might move my saddle forward and try that once pains gone down.

Cheers, only ever had it from running last year before, saddle height is a bit difficult to judge as i move it up and down all the time,

Ill try these exercises and get a foam roller. guess its a couple of weeks off bike.

hail is that dry rain though, and snow biking is fun no need to use brakes as they dont work in snow

bloody rain off to scotland this weekend look like ill just have to take more riding cloths, shame as i like to smell like ive earned it by sunday

gotta be near holmfirth

ive no idea and ive lived in west yorkshire a long time, any more clues would love to give this a go although ill be like the falling off bit rather than the satying on bit

well thats me sold ive a real pair and there real tough, if there half as good then for price you cant really go wrong,

seems nikwax wins, my soap draw always has soap residue best wash that bad boy out 1st

cheers i only was my bike stuff in washer on 30 wi no soap but after 2 years of british soaking it wets out straight away, ill pop to go outdoors and get either the nikwax or grangers as ive a tumble dryer, need it for weekend as im sure itll rain whilst im in scotland

that was the final incentive to get some 5 tens and new pedals

ridden the blue pig and I have a 456 summer season, very similar bikes but obviously I prefer my 456 and its cheaper.

also raw with orange graphics on the 456 is amazing

Cheers seems like a yes on improving, I can do jumps and cornering so that’s no problem,

off I go to you tube world to get some tips. If I enjoy it looks like a new bike.

worst tyre Ive ever used the rocket ron took it to wales and the rocks killed it twice even with really high pressure the side walls compress too much and snake bite,

wouldnt concider ever putting it back on as most of my riding is in the peaks.

Shall be doing the old up and over on sunday morning from langsett so hoping its a bit dry,

just swaped my very bent rim with a shiny new one, just taped the rims together and moved the spokes one at a time, very easy just took time to make sure they were all tightened uniformally was my first time very imprest with myself

Rob i can confirm they bend like swiss cheese I was not happy, no getting to bottom of hill as it bent so much the seam split.

Overkill is better than underkill especially with by front wheel first landing technique coupled with Im sure I can ride that attitude

Cheers Ill look at the Mavic EX721, Ive a 150mm of travel on front so hopefully a tough rim and that should enable me to keep picking the wrong lines on the downhill. for les arcs im gonona be putting 2.5 dual ply minions on front so hope thoses lifts are good.

bike rider no idea what spoke were but they were fine just the rim which folded like butter

it was a DT swiss of a spesh enduro 2010,

yeh Im quite a heavy rider in fairness I was going too fast for my own ability but was fun till i had to walk back to the car park.

Cheers Rob ill have a look at thoses im in same opinion now non of this light weigh stuff, struggle to get up the hill as long as at bottom bikes in one piece.

one is on my lock out just goes striagth down. any body know if the jagwire are tougher

did morzin last year on an old spesh enduro this year im doing it on my ht one one 456 summer season 150mm forks. cant wait.

got the 456 summer season best bike ive ever had goes down hill better than a spesh enduro

good to hear my arms were in tatters week after morzine. this might all change though if a good looking full sus winks at me though

well group im going with are not full DHers but when in rome we’ll try all the courses. Ive learned from last year dual ply tyers so many punctures. after watching videos there dosent seem to be much that tough and as long as it dosent have morzines terrible breaking bumbs which destroyed me I think my HT will be fine after all the great riding shes done this year it would be a shame to leave her in garage. plus theres less to go wrong as repairs in resorts are pricy

oh shes slack, I definatly notice that on steep uphills never notice bb been too high there designed for up to 160. never rode anything more stable down hill though

Ive slapped a 150mm sektor 20mm bolt through, mines a summer season but most fun ive had downhill
