Thanks mate, I’ll take a map from the sounds of it

That’s more my area I’ll check it out thanks

Bit far but thanks for the info

Oh ok didn’t know that well blue pig then lol

Why that ?

cheers guys

lol well the fitness would be good

now ive seen the 305 im tempted by that but all the negative pace customer service comments would put me right off buying a new frame, took the 303 round cannock yesterday, thought she road great but definatley harsh at the back as people have said, my ass is killing today,lol

sounds like a plane, but quite fancy one of those badboys, slightly off topic but whats the resale value on these forks i see there mega money new but is there much of a market for them second hand?

lol

hey a silver one wahooo,lol

another lovely black frame, grrr lol, i was worried about the chipping/flaking on the black, nevermind eh.
crisped wheel i like the idea of the longer forks, just the option to up the travel when needed appeals to me – suprised at the amount of negative pace customer service comments, is that as a result of them not standing up and admitting a problem with the cracking seatpost/gusset area?

very nice again, starting to wish id gone black now instead of silver,lol

looks amazing in black , ill post my pics tommorow if crc get a move on with my cables,

lol, hadnt heard about the post so thanks for that, ive got her well protected, how do you find it? i guess as you still ride it you must like it

Forks are sold mate sorry

Thanks esme and everyone for their input, sounds like it’s worth a day out

thanks guys well that settles it then off to the peaks, was a toss up between that or landeglla, what sort of distance was that route esme?

try cycle surgery they seem to run fantastic offers on 5.10’s i bought the freerides from there 50 quid delivered, ton ive got the free running as well ive been riding in mine and think there brilliant for flats much better than impacts or freerides for me anyway(may fall apart after a bit though)

Cheers guys

Hi Adam weather kills it mOre than a lot of places from what ive seen, it’s pretty tame but the downhill and skills courses give it a boost in my book

Undecided yet as to dog or monkey, fully intend to ride just asking what to expect

Hi mate only been riding 6 months myself sherwood is great, but so badly signposted and mapped as you say, +1 for the tech shop there to maintenance is really cheap etc wheeltruing brake bleeding , try cannock it’s a little more technical than sherwood but stick to the dog and you’ll be fine happy riding

How do you find it with the fox on, as the front end feels really heavy to me with the e150

Thanks colin is the 09 the sameish spec as mine? I’m just uncomfortable selling something thats worth a grand on the bay, sure it would be fine just worries me a little

What’s the spec?

Thanks for the input guys looks like a fox 36 may be the way to go

I may be wrong but I assume that the pitches front end would be lighter an that’s my only issue with the enduro the stem feels long and as it’s the e150 short of swapping the forks there doesn’t seem to be a lot I can can do, really just throwing it out there to get some opinion like yours to se if people think I’n mad or it’s worth doing

very interesting, i have a fear of spiders, but love to read about them, etc i guess its a case of understanding what you fear or something like that, excellent stuff anyway thanks

dont use city link or if you do be sure to take out mega insurance i sold my rockhopper before xmas and they have managed to lose it, and they have no interest in compensating me, how much are you looking for for the 1.7 by the way?

interesting stuff there ahwiles, it appears that i have a habit almost bending my feet around the pedals on the backlift, 5 tens seem so stiff that it almost makes this impossible i also think that the feedback through the shoe is lessened quite a lot, im thinking 510’s just dont suit me but thanks all for your comments

Of course I could bunny hop before or I wouldn’t have asked the question, and they are my first five tens, I usually wear dc or etnies type shoes.
There is an old saying, there’s no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid answers.

just out of interest i just bought the edinburgh bike shop stand and it is excellent easily foldable and rotates into all kinds of posistions its a quality piece of kit for the cash.

nice one guys some really good comments coming through, i hadnt checked stock yet edoverheels, im still weighing everything up as i really like the rock been a very good beginner bike

Looooonng , lol the rock initially came with 100mm recons but I put some rebas on they are 100’s but I believe that they have a removable spacer to up them to 120 mm.

When I said ruffer I wasn’t talking whistler mountain , up to now the monkey at Cannock us the pinnacle of my extreme riding, lol ideally wanna grab some time in the peaks/lakes on some more natural terrain this year.

So looking at on – ones site it states( off the top of my head) 4-6inch travel compatible which is why I thought about transplanting the rebas

got a reba team, 80-120 i believe, wheels already upgraded anotyher option perhaps?

nice thanks for that vdubber will deffo give that a look

i had never been riding to foremark untill today, i was heading up to carvers rocks at one point just to have a mooch around but i started sinking into a bog which i think used to be a field so not being bear grylis i turned back, sounds like i should have stayed on track.

Great idea with the sat pic spoon. Spark there are several signs near the new wooded part but I couldn’t work it out via the mAp sounds very much lime what the guys above have said. I’ve heard of Robin wood but never been, where Is the quarry very interested in that?

i second the above , i had a few spills today but was more down to shoes rather than tyres
