try to get some oil/wd40/gt85 in there leave over night. put the saddle in a vice and use the bike as leverage, pulling and twisting until it moves.

hth

No, what stops that is “skillz dat pay da billz” tubless stan’s and picking the right line, next.

:oops:

just outa interest, where is it better to have the extra weight on the bike or on the body? (back pack/jersey pockets)

thanks you all for your help.

i liked the momentum/latok because they are short. i cant stand long jackets but will try the others mentioned
above for comparison.

have one £10 rucksack……..I think camelbacks are really the mark of someone who doesn’t get mountainbiking…

again, what is there to get? what is the point of mountain biking? grown men/women playing on pushbikes in the hills?

maybe after all this time i still don’t get mountain biking… but i have a lot of fun! maybe thats because i couldn’t give a flying **** what anyone else is riding, wearing, doing.

enjoy your ride!

thanks guys

i’ll be trying one on before i buy, as will need to ware layers under when it gets cold.

altura waterproof shorts

sorry, £200 max

tools, tube, jacket, camera, food and water where else am i gonna put it?
On the bike and in pockets.

you must have **** big pockets! :roll:

i still don’t know the point of mtbing? :?:

@kkf how does this effect you? are these people having fun? are you?

i always ride with a bag , i ride 99% on my own and like to think i can get myself out of trouble if anything goes wrong! tools, tube, jacket, camera, food and water where else am i gonna put it?

They are defo missing the point of MTB’ing.

so what is the point of riding a bike?

not happy with the rear shock (rp23 my first air shock) but have a coil shock and a lowered 36 on its way.

if your brave you could ride this relic from the eighties

half of hastings is open. they spent a shit load of money but i hear from a coupler friends that it doesn't flow very well.

what have you got to lose?

i'm visiting a friend in manchester the weekend, i thought i'd check out lee quarry.
is everything easy to find or way marked? how busy does it get on a saturday?

functional waterproof footwear (and accompanying branded apparel) that hundreds of thousands of people in a vast array of outdoorsy jobs rely on

if you work outside you would be waring proper boots, not a fashion shoe.
evan their proper work ware is crap, i've killed a pair of boots in 3 month, never again!

sold mine last april.

great bike, low, slack, fast shame about the shock!

no! nor should it have that fork on it!

do you need to ask :D

took my nephew to bedgebury red (?) on tuesday. pretty flat, one short very steep climb ( i would of preferred some switchbacks) mostly single track and had a nice cafe. my nephew really enjoyed it. i thought it was ok, some nice flowie bits. don't think i'd drive 1.5hrs just to ride there but if your passing may be worth a visit. normally we only ride natural trails so evan the little section of black we found was easy enough for my nephew (skinny 13 on 24" wheels, crap fork but has pretty good skills)

plenty of good trails/hills to ride on the south coast, os map 124 have a look around battle/robertsbridge

pics would help.

i can't see how you can have x fusion shock that is 200×56 measuring 230 i to i? surely it would measure 200?

i to i length isn't dependent on the stroke of the shock.

also thinking of a coil shock, the pushed van r from tf tuned looks like a good option.

i had to turn it off! that music is truly awful.

i lost my phone while in nyc, i asked a policeman if they would give me a crime number. he said he couldn't give me a crime number as the phone was lost not stolen…

when i got home i went to the local police station explained what had happened, they gave me a crime reference number for the insurance company.
i don't know if this will work for you, worth giving it a try.

i was in morzine for a month in june 2004, there must of been a sunny day but i can't remember one.
it pissed it down every day! made things a little interesting.

hope the sun comes out fir you!

cycling proficiency test.

was the high light of my riding career…

Mavic operate directly. Where are you based? drop me an email.

i thought there was a service centre in each country?

you or goldenwonder may be able to answer my question.

can i convert a crossmax st front hub from 15mm to 20mm? the wheels come in 20mm,15mm and 9mm qr.
and if so can i do it myself or would i have to send it back to mavic/service centre?

cheers

forum categories, whats the point? :D

buyer beware! you should of checked more carefully. after all it was used.

@ tj
