Just pulled the trigger on a Nukeproof Giga 290 frame. 60% off 😀

i’m still riding my 2011 Trek Remedy so finally going to a 29er!

Check out Zagg key boards and covers on Amazon.i got the Zaag toughbook for my Ipad Pro 9.7” which is a cover and keyboard for the bargain price of £49. They do a light weight version as well.

Go to Cala D’or for the day. It has 3 or 4 small beaches that are sheltered from the sea and perfect for snorkelling. The old town is great for for food as well. My kids love snorkelling there.

Done 😀🍺

Done. 4 lines 😀 Great idea. Best wishes to Bullheart!

It’s only £5000 for a team of 8 Pook! I’m sure the city slickers will be signing up by the dozen… :D

Can’t say without seeing where the other end is connected! Stick your tongue on it and see if it’s live :D

Are you still alive? 8O

Hi TiINAS. I’ve lived in Abu Dhabi for just over a year now. I started off living near the airport / Yas Island. Cycling wise, it’s quite limited. Cycling on the local roads is very hazardous and not really recommended. There’s a Roadie group that meets up at the Etihad Plaza at early o ‘ clock at the weekends, high end bikes, but they all seem decent chaps! You can cycle the Yas Marina Grand Prix circuit for free on a Tuesday evening.Bikes are available to hire or you can use your own. There is a flood lit cycling circuit about 20 Kim’s outside Abu Dhabi City near Al Wathba mountain. It’s a 16 km tarmaced flood lit circuit built by one of the Sheiks for Tri Training, but you can turn up and use it anytime depending on the Endurance horse racing calendar which takes place near to the cycling track. The main mountain biking area is called Showka and is about 90 minutes drive from Abu Dhabi on the edge of the Hatta mountain range. It’s very popular in the winter and there’s usually quite a few groups there at weekends. There is excellent riding in Oman, and they hold a yearly XC race that Guy Martin attended this year. I live in Al Ain now and I have the Jebel Hafeet mountain 2 miles down the road which is handy for the road bike. There’s plenty of good riding over here, you just have to look for it and be prepared to travel. Send me an email and will let you know more! Should be in my profile. cheers. PS, You Tube “Showka trails” , there’s a few good vids on there showing the terrain to expect!

Mine says it’s getting 13 MPG and it’s bloody right!

Nissan Patrol V8 Petrol engine. Not at all suitable for Europe unless you have more money than sense!

I’ve been running a set of 2012 160 Talas RLC Fit on my 2012 Remedy with no issues and it makes it much better on the rough stuff. The Remedy was originally produced with 160’s. Go big my man :D

Merry Xmas from Abu Dhabi Bunnyhop! Say Hi to Jules:D
The Barolo, JD and Pure Blonde are my only Chrimbo presents this year, but will definetly brighten my day!

Happy

I have been there previous to the single track weekender and was a bit disappointed as I didn’t know/ couldn’t find the routes. However, after riding both the downhill and the Xc course at the ST weekender, I now know that it has some great riding. Just ask a local to show you round. I’m sure there’s plenty of people on here that would oblige you.

I prefer the Beast. But it needs to be ridden flat out, not minced down……Hora :D

You don’t see many about anymore. I remember seeing lots as a child in the 70’s at the annual Isle of Man Road Racing Festival. They use to have there own category and were mainly ridden by older gentlemen. They were still rather rapid with 700cc wheels!

I love the smell of napalm in the morning! :D

Way OT! But big congratulations Sambob! well done, hope you have a great time at Uni mate. I’ve emigrated to the UAE I’m afraid!

If you want people to point and laugh, buy SLX. If you want to be a trail riding god, then you must buy XTR :D

“Orange is the new black” on Netflix. Just finished watching all 13 episodes and it’s brilliant! Can’t wait for the next series now. :D

Because Hora has decided he is going to be an Orange 5 Owner shortly? Worst piece of marketing ever :D

As much as it hurts me! I have to agree with Junkyard. Your son needs a CSCS card, which costs a basic fee of £35 and is the only accepted card for on site working outside the domestic environment and is available to everyone from basic site labourers to qualified technical mechanical, civil and electrical workers. You can book online for a test and it is relatively straight forward, but needs a bit of revision on ladder angles, fire safety and common sense reporting, plus basic first aid procedure. HTH.

It was obviously “Junkyard” having a jolly good time on his CX bike…. :roll:

Only me! :D

The 208 T16 has 875 Bhp. A bit of a rocket ship 8O

Last Friday night, My local, Coopers, Park Rotana, Abu Dhabi, 64 Dhirams for a bottle of Magners. That’s over £10 :D
We call it “Liquid Gold” I think I win! :-)

My daughters 20″ Dawes Redtail is running a Tiagra 9 speed rear mech. Her bike is a six speed twist grip and its had no problems with alignment. :D

Make sure you tell the staff “I’m an engineer” when you take your bike in to be rectified due to your own ham fisted fettling :D

i like it lots :D

I would recommend Alexander Windows[/url]. we used them last year to do a full house worth of windows. Decent showroom in Hazel Grove, Stockport. No pressure quote and open to a bit of haggling. The installers were professional (on time, polite, courteous and cleaned all their crap up!) Couldn’t fault them.

if you’re after a good night out, head to Cowboys![/url]

And, i always enjoyed the Patio bar at Broken City for chilled out evenings. Patio bar[/url]

A trip up to the Canada Olympic park is good too. You can watch the Ski jumpers practising all year round on the big hill. Olympic Park

Hope you have a great time!

Yes, i’m going Sam. watching race, followed by spot of riding, then Curry and beers in Sheffield. :D

Well done Sam! are you going to the Steel city DH on Saturday?

Yep, i’ve got a 2010 1.5 with a 27.2 FSA K force seat post in it.

Er “Cazum”, we are talking about HORA here. He is legendary for making perfectly serviceable components into a “Beyond repair” state with a quick spot of fettling! He is also a “friend” whom i enjoy riding with, so i’m not being vindictive! :D

Just get a remote. i’ve had one on the Fuel ex for 4 years with no problems, just a quick spray with silicon oil after cleaning. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, TAKE IT APART, OR ATTEMPT TO PUT MORE AIR IN IT!!
:D

Hi,the spokes are 268mm. HTH

Hi there. i found replacement spokes at Hi Bike.de
Haven spokes

They did take about 5 weeks to arrive though. If you get stuck, email me, and i will send you one. :D

Done :D

Sessomah, you wouldn’t happen to be catholic by any chance? :roll:
