try emailing silverfish, they are always helpful.

My thinking is that rear wheels are heavier to start with so adding a heavy tyre makes it worse. So instead on a 1kg front and 3kg rear it should be a even 2kg and should need less effort. Could be completely wrong though.

Anyone

freerides are good

highsided at lee quarry before xmas, huge bruise around my left hip plus cuts, back very sore and ribs aching. also broke my hand earlier in year

I’m having more than a few desperados 😉

Nope I cancelled my order

i loved my singletracks, they felt just right but they ripped quite bad after about 9 months

i’ve ordered a set of Am 490’s with switch hubs and just waiting on them coming. they had an amazing review in what mountain bike.

snow alert for M6 at preston

endura skull cap and a buff for me.

the main route comes out around the back side of the quarry just after the spiral on the red route but i always use the cut at the top of the quarry on your left after climbing the ramp.

it rides ok at the momment tony and if i come across any horses i’ll be sure to give way.

seamus it seems fine, like tony says its a little rough but ok as a link.

Small amount around lee quarry

Yes, I bought a second hand DT Swiss singlespeed wheel recently (did I mention I’ve got a singlespeed now ?) and found the freewheel didn’t engage properly for the first half of my commute to work.
About half a turn of the cranks and a bit of crunching from the hub before it engaged. Once it was in it stayed in, although I didn’t stand up to pedal, just in case.
Coming home after spending the day in a warm room, it was OK.

so do u think squirting GT85 or similar water repellent into the hub may help?

remove the wheels remove the cone? and clean and relube the bearings. probably completely wrong mind.

well ok then after every weekend, all parts that need lubing get it

cheers iain good news indeed 😀

i oil it after every ride.
