    So categories will be:

    Singlespeed
    Singlespeed 69er
    Singlespeed 29er
    Singlespeed 650…if it takes off by then

    😀

    Glad to see other singlespeeds though! According to the little guide book thats available…Transwales Guide
    Theres a pub at nearly every overnight stop aswell, which is nice

    Ok cool. Spoke to Matt Carr and hes Singlespeeding as well. Perhaps we should limit it to the 3 of us and we can all get on the podium.

    /\ Offical statement from Merida that is 😉

    Look we could argue all day long..but i can’t be bothered. If you build stuff out of quality components you could have somthing lightweight and not brittle..done.

    Dirt built a 33lb Session 88, Pro team issue is about 33lbs as well but that gets rebuilt and serviced alot!…

    Lots of bikes are around 30lbs now.

    Thats available in the UK

    17.5″- 6 in stock
    19.5″- 1 in stock

    Considered one myself £1500.

    Bear in mind you can’t buy Trek/Fisher Mail order so you’ll have to travel or get it locally

    Trek Uk are the distributors…..Any local Trek dealer will tell you the stock info as well as Trek will.

    Not sure why you don’t try a Trek dealer? I work for one so if you let me know the bike i’ll let you know.

    Done… and he said yes no problem, been expecting it for a while! 🙄

    Said i didn’t have to ask but he respected me more for doing it. No as bad as i expected i kinda just blurted out ” do i have your permission to marry your daughter” then kinda explained it a bit better.
    He laughed and said what happens if she says no…..

    Cheers all though! For future refrence id definetly advise people to ask

    Sorry to hear that mate. I have had my suspicions about the durability of the new Treks, mainly down to the advertised weights of them.

    🙄

    mmm really cos 30 lbs of bike is so brittle…I’m guessing the Remedy in question gets used quite a bit as he’s just finished a 4 day stint at 7 stanes.
    drunkenmonkey- Go back to your dealer who will speak to Trek and they’ll offer a great warranty back up as always :D.

    I’ve not come across a similar problem and we’ve sold a few and Trek have sold loads.

    No we were rubbish in the 2nd half.
    looked like a bunch of school kids chasing the ball around…rubbish like we were 3-4 years ago.

    Well done France played with class and commitment in the 2nd half should have put loads of points on us.

    Bugger!

    From what i remember its a standard Shimano cassette tool and a DMR type cog so same as when you removed your cassette.

    The Cog is 18t standard

    Are you paying too much for your car insurance – Scant

    Problem we have with shipping bikes is the size of the box..costs us on average £35 a bike to mainland uk with our shop.

    Carriers have set limits anything above this gets “volumized” and becomes very expensive. One problem is that the the size is generally smaller than your average bike!
    Guess they probably want around a £100+ to do it depending on the service?
