Lol! theres always one :)

Craig is that a chameleon by any chance?
At least you look pretty cool, I’ll prob look like a rodney plonker in mine but who cares?
Gonna get some pics up when my bikes finished and I will be on it with my pisspot on!! :)

Yay! a picture of someone actually wearing a pisspot!
Anymore pictures of people wearing one, but only pics of you looking core :)

Damn it acjim! why did you have to show me that!
Just when I had made my mind up you post a dude looking core in another helmet :)
I wonder if i’m core enough for that one? (bows down)

“Back to the OP; you have no reason to feel like a **** wearing a pisspot, XC lid, full-face or any other helmet at a trail centre. Wear what you like, ride what you like and ride how you like.

My twopence-worth – I wear a pisspot at trail centres as well as for ‘proper rides’ and general mucking about. I wear a full-face for DH. I have no hair, so I don’t find them too hot and am comfortable with their look (‘core, pseudo-‘core – whatever) and the protection they offer”

Thanks Dusty you hit the nail on the head there mate, i’m deffo gonna get the TSG superlight now :)

nina= we know mate :)
So tsg or fox transition?
Iv’e come to the conclusion that a full face is for well… full on downhill/freeride which isn’t me so I will sacrifice a hot head for a nice snug fitting,temple protecting pisspot :)

Right pisspot it is then :)
Can anyone recommend the best one?
I was told tsg are the best but the fox transition looks very nice :)

Thanks guys, will let you know how I get on!

SC-XC will keep that in mind :)

Thanks

Hope you were joking about the kids!

Get something japanese or german, and make sure its diesel, has good service history, long mot and tax and low owners is always good, remember its your 1st car so go for something simple and work your way up when youv’e been driving a while, oh and make sure the cambelts been changed when its supposed to!
Apart from that as long as it looks tidy and the seller isn’t dodgy then go for it :)

Nice 1 thanks mate just rang them and we are booked in :)

Cheers buddy

Sorry would help if I pasted the link :) do these have off street parking for a mini bus? http://www.llysednowain.co.uk

stumpy01 does this place have off street parking for a mini bus?

Thanks guys, just bought some brand new dual ply 60a high rollers for £35 posted :)
I think they will be perfect for me as they have good rolling rate, nice and grippy, and dual ply to stop pinch flats :)

Thanks everyone.

So if they are directional does that mean a BG on the back will be a bad idea?
I have a pair and thought you use them as a pair?

Cheers :)

hah I can’t do it!

Right then case closed :)
I think they will be fine and its just that I’m a muppet!

Thanks guys :)

Thanks, will they look nice and chunky or will the rims make them thinner than they can be?
(Does that make sense?)

They normally have less travel or lower spec internals

I might be wrong but I don’t know of any 130mm travel 20mm bolt through forks? If however you said 140mm then its a no brainer PIKES :)

Thanks mragreeable and rockthreegozy most helpful and very clear :)

Cheers guys :)

Excellent! looks like STW has taken notice of the fact that some people on here are just too damn nasty and use the forum as a place to be horrible to people who are miles away from them :)

Just my opinion anyway.

No probs mate will post a pic soon :)

Amazing bike, my mate has the Klein Attitude V which I built up for him, its the one with silver/white pearl paint.
It rides as good as it looks and it looks amazing!!
He leaves me for dust on rides as its stupidly fast on singletrack/bridleways and goes up hills like nothing iv’e seen.
If you want I can send you a pic of it?
Trust me you won’t regret buying it they are pretty special and quite hard to find.

Oh and as to how much to pay thats a bit difficult to say unless you know the spec?
My buddy paid nearly £500 just for the frame but it is sooooooooooo beautiful :)

Hope this helps Stu :)

Z1ppy, are you being a numpty or are you always like that?
Iv’e owned a few bikes but still have 2 of the bikes, one happens to have fox floats and the other bomber mx comps, I always wash my bike wipe the seals and check the oil levels every 6-8 weeks and guess what they are fine!

Think a bit of simple maintenance would solve half the daft moaning on here.

What the hell do some of you do to our forks??
I have had around 8 bikes in the last 6 years and had everything from manitou to fox and have never experienced anything like the rediculous comments on here!
The worse thing iv’e ever had is the lockout not working on some manipoo forks, apart from that I clean my bike with a light hose and a sponge and everything has always feen fine :)
Must admit though out of every bike iv’e had Marzocchi have always been by far the best reliable, built well and super smooth!

Great! thanks guys :)

thanks Zaskar, can’t believe my luck! just googled it and i’m entering the mini DH event at Chicksands Bedfordshire on 28th march :)
Should be fun will post the results when iv’e been!

Thanks

I agree Gravy, the stupid documentaries on the news have a lot to answer for!
I have lived here all my life and its awesome :)
Night life was great too when I was younger :)

Without sounding like a loner my riding buddies live miles away from me and we only get to ride together once maybe twice a month!
We have a really good bunch of lads and go to Wales every september which is the best riding ever but inbetween I fel i’m missing out :(

sootyandjim, Yeah I normally ride in bestwood park every saturday/sunday along with the Burntstump and sansom woods.
Think Dalby is on the cards when it starts gettingv nicer/lighter :)

Cool! whats Hemlock like? what DH bike do you have?
I have a Santa Cruz Bullit and there not many close places around here, I have to go away to Wales or Dalby forest, going in may and Morzine in July hopefully can’t wait!

Yeah I ride Sansom woods and Burntstump every sunday, going tomorrow at about 3:30 for a couple of hours then in the Burntstump for a nice cold Stella :)

LOL thanks for feedback! walleater, despite how it looks its actually very comfertable and quite easy to ride this for 2-3 hours in the peaks as I rode it before with the T’s and it was great.
I hardly ever ride road anymore and when I do want to I jump on a hardtail, its built up for riding in the alps in Morzine in July which is going to be a right laugh!
Should the shock be upside down then Nickc?

Its 2 on drive and 1 on none, thats how the shop set mine up on a cove stiffee with XT hollowtech 11 cranks with a 68mm shell.

To55ers! hope you get them back mate, keep an eye open on Ebay as you just never know where they will end up!

Think your sort of right though mate, but they say 140mm to 180mm on the website picture but are 160mm to 180mm according to the manual on the Zocchi website. Now i’m very confused??
