buy a cheap one. Its a balance bike for god sake. Go to halfords or decathlon.

you can adjust the resistance of a saris H3 using the saris app. Don’t have to be riding in front of a screen.

wahoo system gives you free stuff so if you don’t want to pay for it you can still use it.

pads are shimano fitment. From what I’ve seen I wouldn’t bother.

my dog did the same thing lol

pretty much you have no warranty

no because the warranty is with the manufacturer. Would only affect any companies that go down the plug with wiggle. So if you bought a hope brake hope would still be the warranty provider.

neither – Hayes dominion with a 220/223mm rotor.

went to Cathkin braes and fell off.  broke my garmin mount and the bottom of the garmin

I’ve given up on CRC and wiggle.  The website is awful as is the delivery company.  The discount prices are nothing to do with what they were before.  The sale prices are not relevant.  Surprised no one has actually complained about it before.

They have apparently moved back to their original premises.  Can only guess putting their prices up hugely and swapping to the shit cerakote hurt their sales.  I got some of their stuff when they were cheaper.  Wouldn’t touch them now.

not changing = keep the same tyres on all year. 

wahoo has free stuff you can do.

do the step in ERG mode and the rest in level mode.  You shouldn’t have to pedal fast to get it.  Sometimes there can be an issue between the trainer and the software so make sure you are actually hitting the correct wattage.

They advice you not to do either of the fitness tests straight away.  Do a couple of RGT routes first while it is still there.  The dunoon lap should give you a lot of info for setting up a possible http://FTP.  once you do the dunoon ride upload the data to https://intervals.icu/ and it will give you a eFTP that you can base your fitness test on.  If you are using a garmin head unit it should give you a FTP number based on your ride.  If you use garmin then upload to garmin connect to see your power curve.

It isn’t exactly a hard drop and can it not be rolled anyway?  It is a black trail after all.

 Lots of e-bikes, they probably outnumbered regular bikes on the Friday.

That was my thought too.  Trails were fairly empty though.  No dicks shouting rider anywhere.

Were they skidding on purpose or did they not realise the speed they could get up to on the new trails?  Shouldn’t be any reason to skid on a berm.

Bit of self promotion.

Paid a visit to the new flow trails at Glentress.  They were pretty good fun.  The taster trails are a nice little touch.

Rode them today and really enjoyed them.  Like above they are going to have to be on the ball with upkeep.  The main red twitcher is going to get a serious beating.  Really like the taster trails.  The red and blue only took a few minutes to get to (black too longer ) and you can session them really quickly.  Felt I had to be right on the ball for the blue trail as you could go off line very easy.  Took me 25 mins to climb from the bottom to the top of twitcher.

Ebikes out numbered normal bikes significantly.  Was good to see such a range of people out on these trails.

Near the bottom

The taster trails were shut due to trail damage so it doesn’t surprise me that there is already some damage to the main trails.  Even on Jamie’s preview it had some.  I’m going on Friday so hopefully they are still ok after the rain.

According to Trailforks 

Blue – harry’s Blue & Turn and Burn

Red – Twitcher & Smells like tweed spirit

Black – Castle black

Plonk Jamie’s video in 

Hamas and the Israeli government as as bad as each other.  They have both committed atrocities in the last god knows how many years.  The fact our government supports what Israel is doing is the shocking thing.   No one seems to want to criticise what Israel is currently doing with Palestine in general or the fact they are bombing civilians in Gaza.

Noah & Theo ceramic

Not the trails I’m interested in but good for kids (assuming the climb up isn’t too bad) and those that like berms.

I use the MX2 pedals on the enduro bike.

I like RGT for the magic roads.  I hope that is carried over when they close it.  They are giving members free zwift subs though.  3months for monthly users 1 year for the yearly subscribers.  Not going to use it though as I don’t like zwift.

I have the correct psi for my weight, good sag

This doesn’t help as there is no such thing.  I would put some more air in it 5-10psi and reduce your LSR some.  Use the kerb test to set it initially and then fine tune on the trails.

Am I missing something?

nope.  Its a brose motor with less features than other brose motors with SRAM written on the side of it.   Another list of bikes I’ll not ever be buying.

its a brose motor with less features than other bikes with brose motors.  You’d have to be some sort of idiot to buy a bike with one of those fitted.

Someone bent the toptube on that pinarello although I do like the geo of the frame.

already been done with other bikes.  This is getting old now.  Froome is late to the party.

Is the bike set up like it is on the road? My trainer doesn’t have the same angles as the bike does normally.  Had to spend a bit of time setting it up.  Could be your saddle/bars are at the wrong angle hence the pain.

Ride up Glen Fruin and back (not quite).  Lynne and sophie went so I followed on the bike.  Legs gave out after 57 miles.

big fan of Lezyne lights.  got a strip pro 300 and zecto max 350 rear.  great battery life and bright

5 months old you wouldn’t even have to prove it.  It would be down to the shop with the sale of goods act on your side.

never used it off road.

I’ve got the 1800 and have used it with the screw on mount without any issues.  It is a heavy light and if you are just using flashes I would probably get a cheaper one.  It takes a bloody age to charge.  it is not my prefered light

given what I’ve seen of hunt I wouldn’t touch them

change to 30mm road tyres or buy an ebike.

some cables don’t work on mine but will charge.  not all usb cables are the same.

I don’t do gravel but if I was to I would just use my MTB shoes and pedals like I do on my road bike.  It’s what I am used to and comfy with.  TIME ATAC MX pedals of various types.  I use XC shoes on the road bike and “enduro” ones on the MTB.
