i should be able to make it!

The tandem guy was Guy Kesteven, it’s a nicolai I think , the kid must have a bit of bottle!

I found it difficult compared to last year but then I haven’t been riding for the 3 months up to race day, I still didn’t do to bad considering, I’ll definitely be back next year and I’ll definitely be putting the training in for then!

Cheers for the advice, I’ll definitely take it on board, and the forum looks promising!

I did it last year and I’m doing it again this year with my brother, i’ll only be getting back from Vegas on the saurday morning and heading straight up, I’ll be on a bright green Nicolai, not sure if I’m camping or staying in a b&b as my other half is also coming to spectate.

Count me in!

I love a cigar now and then, had a couple on holiday the other week, Guantanemeras, they were surprisingly good!

I used to build SPL cars and the best sound deadening material is Accumat, Dynamat is a poor imitation. Have a look at K&M acoustics in Wigan. They know how to make things vv loud or vv quiet. Anyone who witnessed their transit with 12 15″ Cerwin Vega XLs and original HiFonics gen X amps will know!

If the big manufacturers didn’t charge the ridiculous prices they do for these items then fakes would no longer have a place. I know that it costs a fraction more to make something safe and decent quality but £35-40 for pissing phone charger is extracting the michael!

Its the first time ive listened to Cerys, ithink its been a decent show with some cracking Jazz. I’ll be listening again!

I might be on for Rivi on monday night, depending on how my back holds up, I may bail out mid ride though depending on pain levels!

i don’t know, i think the SNP guy makes some good points. Ashdown is a class act compared to the rest of them though!

I liike that a lot! 😀

A mate of mine who happens to be a coded welder and fabricator had a look at the new frame over the weekend and said he thought the quality of the welds was excellent (he used more technical terms than that but i can’t remember them). Given the projects he works on, I’m more inclined to take his word for it . 🙂

Rik, in fairness, ive got dippers shock fitted atm. Mine didnt turn up in time so he leant me his, i should have mine this week, i think the one i have is pretty close to the base tune though?

Yetiman, I was out at the weekend, i love it, its absolutely rapid, its gonna need a bit of time tweeking the rear shock to try and make it a little more “poppy” but even as it is now it is awesome, its like a magic carpet over roots! Im gonna have a fun summer!! 😀

I did the enduro last year and im doing it again this year, its definitely tough, but in a good way, best thing to do would be head up there and go for a ride before hand, Fremington Edge is probably the toughest part but it was early on last year so wasnt too bad, i would imagine that it wood be on the route this year as its legendary.
I’ll be heading up at some point in June if you fancy a ride out?

Bike set up wise, tough tyres, tubeless, stans liquid, because as the name suggests, there is lots of rock, and if you can train in extremely windy conditions that’ll be a bonus! 😆

[/quote]In that case I reckon you’ll be getting mistaken for Jerome Clementz

Until I start riding! 😀

Here she is!

The colour changes as different light hits it, i love it!!

Dropper Post will be fitted as soon as i get one.

I absolutely despise these companies, someone crashed into me 3 years ago and I still get around 3 calls a week off them, one in particular repeatedly rings even though I tell them each time that im not interested,

No more than 1 pint of Guinness, and I always try to make sure I’ve got a bit of time before id need to drive. Someone will be along shortly to tell me how Im a disgrace…. 🙄

Ive bought some for the new bike, not fit them yet and they already have a mark on the rim, i can’t see the finish lasting al that well!

Cheers for the info!

Yetiman , had any problems strength wise?

Woody, i like the colour of that!

[/quote] just about to order my helius tb and cannot decide on the colour !!

Hard work isn’t it! 😀

Full beard needed as well of course.

I thought that was part of the helmet – Enduro Strap? 8)

There are a LOT of Pikes out there. Most threads I’ve seen are people questioning the top out knock which is due to the small coil spring to initiate the negative stroke – you only notice it when you lift the front of the bike up, not when you’re riding it. Not a fault, just a side effect of what makes the small bump sensitivity so good.

Thats a very good point and glad its not a fault!

Yep, Richards gonna build it up for me, I’ll be heading up in the week or so with some parts then have a mooch on it around Scotland for a couple of days!

I know that Bos aren’t great with parts but there are more and more threads popping up about problems with Pikes?

Yetiman, was it dippers 29 you had a go on?

Ion 16 650b, its Semi Permeable Yellow apparently.

she introduces you to her mum and your older than her too.

To be fair, that covers most of Bolton… 🙂

CCBB air Cs and Pikes up front, although i almost wish I’d gone for Bos Devilles…

I’d been sweating over which colour for about two months, then I saw this and new it was the one! lol

In fact it reminds me of a JohnyCab…

The VW looks like a 70s idea of the “future”

Now i’m wondering is there are any mark and lard shows online anywhere…

If you find any let me know!
