ive just had some slx m666 fitted. let me say one thing…AMAZING!!!

these brakes for the money are brilliant. i wanted xt but was convinced by the bike shop that the additional money was a waste for my needs.

i was running hope before and was always fettling with them so im hoping these will be less work but i havent had them long so cant compare on that front yet.

bedmaker.. thats an awsome picture. massive envy going on here.

hugor been a while since ive seen the doethie dry like that. may have to pop up before the rain comes back. have to say ive never seen a goat up there though. 🙂

yeah defo. kirro was wicked. i loved them all.alot of Ae was shut unfortunately so have an excuse to go back now 😉

yes, sun, snow, rain and lots of mist

sorry ive just noticed the spelling. DOH!! your right, no Ali G there!!!

the camera doesnt really give justice to half of the drops etc. great weekend tho. the trails are great, very technical!!!

i have had to swap the audio to some youtube music i found. it doesnt have the same feel but works ok..

thanks 🙂

yeah thats cool. kinda why i was thinking about powder coat rather than trying to get it back to the RAW finish. would be good to find somewhere that does a good job but also doesnt take an age as i only have the one bike.

but with the closures i think we are going to innerleithen. sounds like lots of the good bits are ruined 🙁

im staying at the hotel on the main road by glentress and its snowing now

i have an enduro 09 but its an anodized finish i believe. can that be stripped or does it need to be rubbed down?? i like the raw finish but have thought of powder coating it. any good places to have this done, i live in wales but im sure i could post the frame.

now…. MY GAS GAS EC250 is a proper enduro bike!!! (singlespeedstu) 😛

dead quick up the hills too 🙂

DOH!! good job you reminded me 😉

ive done the brechfa enduro, dyfi winter warm up and have the wentwood in 2 weeks. im also doing the 2 welsh rounds of the fetish gravity enduro all on my specialized enduro fsr. 160 front and rear, short stem, wide bars and my new dropper seat post 🙂 shes not a great climber(but then, nor am i) but she sure is good on the downs.

some nice pics there. now im getting excited 🙂 thanks for the info. lets hope the weather comes good again for this weekend.

how long would that take do you think? i think what we will do is go with lots of ideas and then see what happens. weather etc may play a part in it. was hoping to have a day on the snowboard but i dont think theres much there this year 🙁

sorry, we have no set destination heading for fort william on the thursday night and then work from there. dont want to go to far north on this trip. (but who knows where we will end up )

ha thanks. was just a very quick play with new software. yeah its good there. its only 25mins from me so handy!! i may go to FOD tomorrow. havent been there yet.

i just made this quick clip using the sony software. i think it has potential to make a good video. watch this space. another FRANKY the mtbing dog video could be on its way ha ha

nice 🙂

which descent do you want to do? the bit before the table tops??

thanks rhysw. ill use my silicon spray on it like i do my forks etc after each clean

ha, im going to give it a proper trial on sunday and then an even better one next weekend as im on the bike in scotland for 4 days. just wanted to know if theres anythingi should do or wether i just leave it and service it when it needs it etc

bump

im one of these dudes that drops his post right down when i do a good dh run or something technical so im hoping it will make a big difference. im also doing some of the gravity enduros so im sure it will be a big help on them.

i use the superstar nano!!they have been on my bike for 18 months now and havent even looked at them. they still run as smooth as the day i bought them and i ride through rivers etc a couple of times a month.
they are nice and slimline which i must say makes a big difference, as i clip my pedals alot less now.

thats cool. keep us posted, would be up for a ride!!

thats rubbish. sorry to hear it

oh no??!!! wouldnt the retailer send a refund or another post?? thanks thtas seemed to be the size i was coming up with.

sss was thinking of sorting something i believe

im not sure if this will work but this is my view ranger route from last weekend inc the golf links

You can see the route at: http://my.viewranger.com/route/details/Nzk5Mg%3D%3D

i want a back yard like that 😀

we loves a good fight here butt 😆

not sure, its the rugby culture i think.when i was younger its all we would talk about on a sunday morning. who had a smack and who pulled who of course. haha.. builth is bad for it tho, they all love a good punch up there.

indian take away delivered to a bothy!!! now theres an idea!

nah.. theyre not bad there!! maybe it could be a wild camp trip 🙂

id be up for a meet and ride, sss. would be good to see some new routes.

stoner, there are a few good pubs, not sure which ones do good ale. my mum lives in rhayader so when i go there i tend call in there after a ride. the crown inn is nice or theres the elan hotel. its nearly time for the old camper to come out for me too. hope we have some dry weather soon!!
