Running at 140 all the time here too.

Nahh, more XC than the Cove.

Not sure i agree with that one ;)

haha! aye, true to say they do look like bumbags. I shall worry about the aesthetics later, I still ride in baggies ;) Should i get lycra shorts?? do they make that much difference?

Coil Pikes and 2.35 highrollers (tubeless and super tacky on the front)

True, i have only just started this road riding malarkey (literally yesterday!) No doubt my views will change…

And that means…??

(sorry, bit dim)

I just cannae be bothered to empty everything out of my bag, and i dont like bottle cages ;) Much easier to just pick up the bag and go than get it out and put it in all the wee pockets.

:D

No pot belly on me, Im a racing snake at 10 stone. You ever used one omitn?? Without a doubt the best bag i’ve ever used.

Again, get a wingnut, that fella aint going anywhere near your head!

I use exactly the same as i do for my mtb, Wingnut (but i swap the tubes out for road ones ;) )

Over a minute.

Or is that just me?

Damn right i like helping out a damsel, be it with a puncture or a stubborn jar lid.

I ask anyone who’s stopped at the side of the trail if theyre ok, have given away many innertubes and powerlinks to people in need of them :D so no, it isnt dead.

On a school night?! how rebellious!!

I need to catch up with you guys, i’ve never unloaded outside of a toilet!

Epic thread.

heaviest bike ive ever ridden was a 62lb Norco A-line :O

Too much want :(

I ride everything with a 1×9 and flats (Dyfi, W2 at Afan/glyncorrwg etc etc) you’ll be reet.

ONLY 15?!?!? unbelievable.

If that is directed at the msisle’s…

YOU sir, have no taste.

;)

Yep, one of my friends did recently. I’ve drilled out other rims too.

But on a serious note, whats so appealing about draining the main vein outside?!

NO sram rear mechs work with shimano shifters.

Its fine!

I think 710 is the optimum.

:D

Still, hopefully there will come a time when councils realise that these bmx tracks/jumps are good things. My town (despite having a population nearly 10.000) still doesnt have a bloody skatepark! and yet little villages around us do.

Never been to Newcastleton (or Dalbeattie for that matter) Its always better to ride somewhere different! Everyone i’ve talked to rates Dalbeattie highly, worth a trip if im up there?

Lucky man, Mabie’s a nice route. I’m stuck in Norfolk, boo hiss etc.

Actually, reminds me of my little finger :D

What. The. F***.

Seriously Chuckles…

?!

You’ll love it, the xc at inners is top notch!

The point is half these trails arent in peoples gardens/fields, they are in disused woodland that wouldnt be being used for anything else. If the place is a SSSI then fair dooze, but some of these places have the ecological importance of a concrete path. Anyway, what harm would a few jumps do to some woodland?

Its not half a downhill route, caddon banks an xc descent. You wont need new pads and you can bypass any drops that are un-rollable no problemo :D

It amazes me that anyone can be upset or aggrieved

Huh? ok, fair enough about the other peoples land bit, but its still bloody annoying!

So long as it doesnt touch, its fine.

imo ;)

Ha! You think people are gonna listen to a group of 14 year olds (as we were at the time too) and give them somewhere to build?
