Trail user here, well worth it. Needed new lenses really and glad I swapped. Use on road to. No issues

2 pairs soles fell off all returned under warrenty

If you run them at high pressure your effectively reducing the tyre foot print. Its meant to deform and provide grip and some suspension as it deforms over the uneven surface. Pump it up rock hard and you might as well have a solid tyre. High rollers and minions require you to lean like a bitch.

20 – 25 psi tubeless

Try making small changes and improvements. Things you know you can achieve. Small achievements build in the long run and make you feel better. Could be as simple as complete 1 house job. Or short ride.

Trans Alps, Portugal, Joberg2c, Singletrack 6, BC, Ex 3 day plus other UK/Euro multi/1 day, loads MTB Italy, India, Poland etc

Ride your own race at your pace, as above consistency smooth. Able to ride unseen trails. Ride with your ability don’t be tempted. If it looks bad, walk the section and ride on. Its a long race

100% reliable bike, service mine 4 weeks before event then ride to ensure all is working. Never start a multi day with new untried/tested stuff including your clothes. Worn comfortable. Tubeless tyres, good solid tyres like Maxxis. You simply don’t want to stop repair a tyre. A light weight one isn’t worth it. You know the ones I mean.

Feed and fuel in training as you intend to race. Should be nothing new. Don’t train on pasty and pies then switch to Gels.

Have a good plan for your personal and bike maint and admin, get in sort bike and/or dump at bike park for mechanic, wash gear, shower, feed, set alarm and sleep. I have a written plan for the whole trip, with a page in a waterproof sleeve for each day which goes in camlbak. Shows route, hotel, transport times etc. After 5 days your brain wont be functioning and mistakes can prove fatal. Its great to pull out the written plan.

If abroad arrive at least 2 days before the event. Get bike built, recover from jet lag trip and relax. Don’t be tempted to cut this

You need to be fit @ 12 hours in the saddle each week back to back 4 hour rides over single track, turbo winter, road blah blah blah

and bolder man

http://www.theforestreview.co.uk/article.cfm?id=103680&headline=Cyclist injured by ‘booby trap’&sectionIs=news&searchyear=2016

He had to swerve a large bolder on the trail shocker!

and the money made from the sale of the drug is legit, taxed of course and doesn’t fund any other criminal activity ……

powermonkey and the like for charging, also stop at coffee shops and recharge normally.

Garmin 1000 comes with all the mapping you need, no paper required

sounds like your not in control. The weed has control of you if you need several to get you through.

Thought about getting some help? Or was the forum post part of that?

agreed bruneep

not screwed you broke the law, drink – drugs no difference. Roads are dangerous enough without impaired drivers

smaller ring not e bike as it gives you more exercise and will make your heart and the rest of you stronger. This will help to delay further angina. Maybe consider what caused the angina and also focus on changing that. I have pacemaker. Not the same I know.

I’m sure your aware of the British Heart foundation web page. Coronary heart disease is brought on by a number of factors many of which are controllable.

Over to you

yup cluster for milking machines

Eve is about your alliance and corp, player driven plus loads to do but its a serious sand box game. Difficult to get into. In a good corp or alliance its pretty amazing

Success needs no excuses.

I’d do C

Sort out a better performance

Favourite is simple, pumpkin seed and cranberries

stop the drinking too, it aint helping

Just got the Oakley Trail prisms. They work. Dark sunglasses tended to not react quick enough from light to dark. I’m sold on these

not sure how a non persistent MMO is going to be, will see what happens with consul release then consider PC purchase

Agreed see you at 1030.

How about starting from http://deanforestcycles.co.uk cafe at 10:30? All the off piste stuff is centred on Parkend. Parkend is just down the road from Pedalaway. Free parking too :-) Let me know.

badabing

You ok finding those trails? I know the area and will be around Saturday. Post up if anyone needs some local knowledge.

No thanks. Looks like a prison. I’d not get on with the sort of people who need to live behind walls.

MMO Turbo

when you guys thinking of going to FoD, I could be around to take you to the off piste stuff

women, emotional drama – best avoided

why I’m in CTC for the insurance

[/quote] yet the bloke is still legally expected to be the “breadwinner” in divorce cases. Even when there’s a new bloke on the scene.

not true, you split the debts and costs going forward are split too. Going forward you are two adults. It was my money she could not tell me how to spend it and I had three children, all with me.

New man? Has no bearing on the split.

For sanity drop all the emotional stuff and ignore it. It has no benefit and goes nowhere.

This isn’t a situation you win, its about dealing with it and the right result for all including the children.

Good to see she moved out.

Plus one for smaller front ring. Moves your chain line to the centre of the cassette reducing wear. I go through about four chains per cassette. Your spending too much time on the 42t cog,

I think the ‘string vest’ for the women in space 1999 held an attraction for me :-D

Nope, just have to be effective

banana and/or egg sandwich , 1 litre of water

plus one

The XTs are very, very sharp off the bat and have lovely short levers.Shimano has the edge thanks to the bleeding kit

simple, proven and available world wide

I went from 2010 Zesty to Bronson. TBH the Bronson with the VPP was impressive. Zesty was a great bike though but after demoing a few bikes I’m sold on VPP as it fits my riding style.

Have not tried the Whyte but I like what I see, would be great bike for trails. Plan to try one when I get a chance. Same advice – demo a few bikes. I was surprised how much difference there was in bikes with same geo/travel etc. Demo is money well spent. Also check out Pinkbike buy/sell. Some cheap second hand/pre loved bikes there

could always read and follow the instructions :-D

go tubeless
