Anyone know what the weight of the whyte wheels are. (Lazy I know) but does save me taking discs tyres cassette off if I do go for dropper instead

Its has some nice parts on it
Formual The One Brakes
XO shifters

But I think everything else is burly
Pikes- Burly!
Straitline MTB Cut special edition Flats – burly
Renthal Bars – burly

And so on

think I am too stuck back in the days when I did uplift days on SX Trails and DH bikes- now I use the suspension etc to get me out of trouble- time for a change!

Thanks- this does sound like I have to sell up or swap and get a 120mm bike like a Camber or similair?
I would be buying second hand- ideally just need to find someone that wants to go burly from more XC type and swap :)

Its for SXC and round 1 is this weekend in Forfar- all nice and natural from memory but with some slate thrown in too

Yes she’s 12 and light, powerful from track but not carrying weight

Really not hardball? Thought xc Sussex was still too weighty and inefficient?

Cheers
Woody- ordered from on one!
Thanks

Cheers guys- all for 1 road climb tt!! Nothing is ever easy! :)

ok its all 9 speed
I only want to run the mtb cassette for 1 race
so can I use existing road mech and shifter with mtb cassette as long as cage is long enough on mech?

no wonder your Boy Wonder

Awesome!! Thanks

Cheers guys, really appreciated

For which frame, I take it your thinking Spicy, but is a RP2 not about 300 alone, frames from lapierre are about 1300 on their own, so I was thinking maybe 50% at worst so 650 odd?

All sound good to me!

I will be travelling down from Glasgow with 10 year old, so really only Sat or Sun for us. Not sure how long she could stand- I know I will love it- its just trying to keep her into it as I think she would like it

Oh dash and double dash! :(

Swissstops are 20 each end so 40 all in
Unless you can alert me to where they sell them f+r for 20 :)

Thanks!

if only the budget would allow!

Cheers All- food for thought- carbon 456mmmmmm :)

Cheers guys, appreciated. DEEW have mailed you re forks.

She is on rigids at moment and CX season is over so MTB will be the way forward for now and Air forks for light weight addition to bike and also for setting them up correctly!
instantly thought of SIDS but the MZ could be good too.
Budget is cheapo so older is fine as long as they work- lock out would be nice.

Not seen anything direct for Kirr today, however GT + Inners icy- Dumfries area – Mabie b roads atrocious and poster doubted if youi would get into Mabie car park, he then went on to say Kirr was due snow today!
Hoping to get out myself tomorrow- Kirr was looking the best bet out of all the good stanes sites- but if travelling far could be a bit dissapointing according to poster

Haha mixed bag-
Spec looked good
Carbon rear end surely better than Speccy?

Are we all being Brand snobs???

Advantage- 2.25 or thereabouts-
Big volume
Light weight
has been good to me on a variety of terrain and different bikes
Had a thought that it may be a bit rear specific so put a Toro on the front for more steering – it was TERRIBLE- straight back on the with Advantage!!

Why not?

Spokes on normal tyres?

MMMm I am thinking of hitting 7 stanes- maybe Kirroughtree
I have Ice Spikers- should I fit them and ride or will they get wrecked and be crap anyway???

yep got it! they wont fit :cry:
they would have been perfect!!

sorry I AM THICk!
These unfortunately wont work as they will only fit Road 24″ rims- different erto size apparently

Leggyblonde
I dont see any? Am i being thick, or are they so small I am not supposed to see them??? :lol:

Bang o. Milky kid!

Bikelove, good service! Carl is CRC team mechanic(Cunningham’s) nowt in stock
Freeflow- loads in stock and are on the case with brands. Everything bling I ever wanted they had instock unlike every other retailer in Glasgow. They have a unit which is manned by good staff, shop can be a little hit/miss depending if the bosses are in. I have never had anything to complain about them.
Alpine – nice but uninspiring
dales – as alpine. More bikes but lacking in decent parts
Gear- good friendly indie and fixie/ss specialists
Evans braehead- typical major. Always seem understaffed and rely on their pc deals rather than what’s there
Cyclelane- ok bit small and don’t hold great parts stock

gt has eyelets but was thinking about fitting crud mkII’s – are they not any good?

iTS 2010 DEALS, both around the 500-550 mark

cheers swadey

:)
thanks

@ IainC wasn’t me or any of our party at GMBC (unless someon is getting in some sneaky training as we found it a long day)- only other rider I saw on Black route was a young lad on a rocky mountain, nobody else all day!

I bought the Troy Lee ones for my brother for his birthday- not had a shot of them yet-but I do wish I had kept them for myself :)
I am a Ruffian Guy and have just bought Vanderham signature Ruffian grips and they're ace!
Better than the Spank ones I had on before that were Ruffian style but shit compound
