Why ride that?

Because he wants too 🙂

you got the link to the article?

just don’t overtighten it because it will snap, SRAM advise you “just nip it up”.

Has there been a case in court were a cyclist has been prosecuted for pushing a bike on a footpath? a good tactic is to carry a copy of any court case and just hand it to the person doing the moaning. if it is a grey area then he cant really enforce it and having something for him to read might sway him.

I had this very same issue with a farmer last year, i had no idea it was a footpath i was on as it was a farm track but i just truned around and left to save the agro.

Use a garmin or even endomondo if that works better, then import your route into strava through the website.

Planning to ride there on Saturday

I’ve had 2 oranges and both where great. My one issue is that for the price you go components made from chocolate unless you get the SE version.

All these haters don’t seem to be ruining the fact they sell like hot cakes.

Loads of nails thrown on bridalway at irwell vale this morning 🙁

i’m just going to ride where i want, aslong as where i ride is suitable for a bike then so be it, some of the footaths in the lakes are better than the bridalways.

if i get prosecuted i will take it ofr the cyclists 😀 good chance i won’t though.

cheers all

any ideas where i can get decent grease? i see rockshox recommend liquid o ring brease?

Loco what will the custom tuning be?

I did my local ride with the threshold on tonight, had the low speed set 4 from soft, seemed very good, only set it too open on the steep downhill sections.

i’ve had mine a month, i replaced a pair of fox float 32’s and these are much smoother, still trying to make my mind up on the threshold mode but it does help prevent the fork from diving on slow steppy, techy descents. They have been superb in the lakes and around the pennines. i tend to ride most climbs or flat with the threshold mode on and flick to the 120mm setting on very steep stuff.

because i’m fat and gravity dictates i go downhill faster and easier 😀

Faz

the descent on your video is the way we rode up 😀

Which route down is that overshoot?

Faz your right it was hell but it was the view of the lovely trail going away in the foreground.

Lol I put the picture on and get no response, insult southerners and they all post 🙂 the Halifax pictures is good and is just like the hills next to me house 🙂

Lol burt thats why I asked a question at the end 🙂

I put the picture up because it’s the kind of picture you see on magazines but never seem to get them when riding.

Yeah it’s Bristol, Are all southerners knobs?

Worthy of helicopter evac 🙂

It’s the view from just past stakes pass towards whiteside, lower man and then helvellyn 🙂

I went from glen ridding via the old quarry and I say it’s a good 2/3 rds pushing. I could of carried on and gone up kepple cove, there is another route on bogtrotters site that is a lot longer.

Well I went and did it 😉 what a bloody slog to the top of helvellyn but the descent all the way back to patterdale was brilliant. Dollywagon was evil and was a lot more difficult than rangers in my opinion. The descent back to Patterdale was great and wa full of rocky multiple line choices. This morning my body feels battered with all the jumping and moving around on the bike yesterday lol. All in all one of the best complete descent I have ever done in the lakes. We had no crashes or over the bar incidents and all the walkers where amazed we were attempting Dollywagon :-), I’d love to see someone clear it with stopping lol.

Love my RCT3 fork but can’t really compare it to the RLT, I’m sure the damping is a different unit.

Helvellyn

Lol forecast still looks good 🙂

Forecast is for sun in the lakes tomorrow

I used to have one, couldn’t find one when it came to replacing it so had to get a 34

SRAM do one It’s the PG 990.

I’m trialling my new backpack I’ll be using for the coast to coast, my one worry is mobility on the bike but I’ll find out one way or another Saturday 🙂

my slim jims where ruined after 3 months.

which route up did you take?

doing this on saturday, can not wait 😀

I also went to the first ever gategrasher at the arches in Sheffield 🙂 even got on the guest list.

Lol makes me feel old and I’m only 35 🙂

I’m from up north but was based down south with the army so used to get mashed all the time in some amazing clubs. Spent 6 months in Berlin as well, some amazing techno clubs and the love parade when it was amazing 🙂

Steve I did a coach trip from the opera house in Bournemouth with all the DJ’s when they did a tour to the ministry of sound back in 95

I went there in December 1995, I also remember an awesome time in club uk and the ministry in 1995 🙂

or factor in the cost against getting off and putting down/up your saddle.

do what i do just ride with the saddle about an inch lower than optimum, i ride in the lakes all the time and i hvae no issues.

Need = No

want = Probably
