They'll take it, a friend goes huge on his.

Our uni MTB club use indigo clothing, fantastic quality printing!

Tips? Its a long way with alot of uphill, so take it easy if youre not uber fit. The downhills are excellent but pretty rocky, last year there were alot of riders walking down the edges of the trails. Its a great event, the campsite is good, bikes are as safe as on any other campsite. You cant really ride any of the enduro trails beforehand (unless you know youre way around the Dyfi) however the Climachx trail is defo worth a go.

avdave2 – Do you actively seek out things to be offended by?

As a fellow user of the countryside I cannot tell you off about erosion without being a massive hypocrite.

I have a Skoda Felicia estate. Im 19. Its amazing, three bikes and three people in it, cheap to run and no ones gonna steal it! I have a fully restored classic mini in the garage for summer fun too 😀 A friend has a fabia vrs, says its amazing. Go for it.

Last year there was plenty of space, great atmosphere at the Dyfi too.

201.

This is gonna be painful.

Haha, no he's not. Some elements of football are a disgrace.

Just got back from doing The Raven, its certainly muddy!

Dont worry Ambrose, a dirty bike is rarely seen on STW.

My landlord must be mid 50's and he can rip the legs off all my friends on the road. Im 19 btw 😛 I aspire to be like you guys and still riding when Im ancient. 😉

Yeah I've always put a thin coating on.

5 year old mono minis here that have been moved from bike to bike, no more work than a bleed (and only two at that) people have different experiences of different brakes.

Three of my friends are precision engineers, they all use hope brakes and hubs. They agree the finish could be made smoother (like on the older black&gold brakes) but hope designed the grooves for aesthetic reasons (and to save money 😉 ) Hope are very well respected in the precision engineering market.

Might just pop down and ask nicely then. Small child might be hard to come by (I could probably pass for one myself if I had a shave though) and there'd be no banana necessary 😉

Cheers guys.

Front tyres on backwards 😛

Looks cool as ken.

Ah right, There isnt a branch of my bank here. I'll just get a friend to pay it into their account. Ta.

Nahhh, Sierra leones a good tune, even though Im more into heavier, darker stuff like milanese.

I have exactly the same situation 😀 normally 1 or 2 a day but the record is 7.

Was there on wednesday and it was just friggin cold, Puddles were iced up but there was no snow. However, its entirely possible theres been some snow up there in the last day (there have been flurries here in Aber) If the rain holds off I'll be riding out there tomorrow.

A friend has just built one up as his XC race bike, weighs 21.5 pounds (or so he says 😉 )

It is probable that for the rest of the four days not shown in that 30 second clip he went somewhere else.

He was going no faster than any other car would be in that area and would probably stop a hell of a lot quicker than any other car too if he did need to stand on the brakes.

Stop looking for arguments you fools!

Didnt read the angles before, but gonna have to agree with those two^^ Knock 1.5 degrees of the HT angle and you'll be onto a winner. IMO 😉

You can guarantee its gonna be great to ride. I like the aesthetics too.

Depends, I have a Renthal ring thats thick enough to let me run standard chainring bolts.

As a father and uncle,

Reminds me of the Bill Bailey skit "Speaking as a mother"

Anyway, he says right here:

I think 16 is an unrealistic level to enforce frankly but won't be breaking the law

He wont be breaking the law, and has pointed out that he hasnt fiddled around with anyone under the age of 18. I think he's a peado free zone.

They are indeed Tom, Its alright though, if needs be I'll just get one of my housemates to order it for me. Cheers though 😀

girls at 15 may well be physically developed, but do we therefore assume that they're capable of making adult choices and decisions?

I dunno tbh, but we do with 16 yr old girls.

From this:

To this:

I miss that car 😥 It was/is my first car. Its tucked up in the garage at home whilst I'm at uni. Using that green beast as a bike transporter 😈 Its quite nice to have a shit car.

I've had a road bike before (Condor Italia)

Evidently not.

*EDIT* I iz tooooo slow 😀

So if you visit someone who doesn't have a TV licence then you're liable for a fine? what if some stranger watches the TV through the living room window, could you pin the fine on them?

Dunno, thats just what I read on the letter they sent us.

Oh, and the person who is liable for the fine is the one who is caught watching the TV.

We were debating whether to pay or not, eventually the scare-mongering got to us and we did (despite protests from some of the other housemates) I'm in the position that I could just slap them round the face until they coughed up, is that an option??

My local motorfactors has Beta stuff in, Id never heard of em so dismissed immediately. Will give them more thought now.

Are you me a year ago sparx???

Save yourself the 300 mile train journey and become romantically involved with the 'close friend'…

HIGHLY regret not doing this 🙁

I'd say its fine. I've seen a quite a few people with dogs on rides now, its quite nice providing you pick up any shit.

Saw one hit a large rooty step-down me and my mate were eyeing up, made us laugh.

Nahhh, those brakes are too good, you should get some worse ones 😉

No such thing as overkill brakes IMO.

Yeah, maybe………but can he put a fruit pastille in his mouth without chewing?

😀

He is friggin amazing.

Well, if youre going to be pedantic at least make sure you do it right.

Oh, and I am a teenager 😛
