Oldtalent – probably but I still have a laptop so until it dies I wont be doing that.

I was thinking as I have already asked it to upgrade me to W10, then installed it, then decided to remove it – would it still be doing anything to try and re-intall the W10 on my machine.

Before I upgraded i was having endless updates on my computer which was a pain in the ass. I think at least on one occasion the computer had tried to install W10 as part of these updates. Or is that not possible? When I did eventually Install the W10 upgrade I had to go to the update manager bit and search for updates. I only did this as I kept getting failed update messages etc.

I don’t know, I am no expert, I just want my laptop to work relatively trouble free again!

I didn’t install any partitions as I am a rank amateur in computering. I’ll Try what Cougar suggests.
Thanks for the help.
Oh also if I do go back to W7 will it keep trying to upgrade me to W10? I did it as part of the free upgrade scheme. There must be a way of asking to computer not to try and update anymore?

Is that the whole of the Gravity Republic team on Specialized?

I think number 1 was Nicholi Rogatkin. He certainly knows how to crash.

Have you looked at Pinkbike?

I saw a 2013 Reign X for £850 (reasonable offers considered).
And a 2012 reign for £800.

Edit -sorry it seems you have looked already! I missed that one sentence!!

Since when is road biking cool??

Its only done when its too crappy to ride your MTB or to do some stealth training!

I have never weighted the bike, however I am certain its a bit over 28lbs!

YOu are all probably right about extra bag allowance. My Spec Status is not light weight!

I suppose I could try and fit armour helmet and shoes in my carry on luggage. I had not really considered doing it that way!

I have easily fitted a weeks worth of clothes in a carry on bag before. Its Andorra, in the summer, I only need a pair of shorts and a string vest right?

I will be prepared and get some scales and pack up my stuff and weight it! I agree that 7kg is not a lot for helmet and bag etc etc…

Ahh cool,

I will just have to not take the whole bike shed with me and think light thoughts when they weight the bike (if they do). Easyjet seem to have cheaper bike rates and offer a slightly higher weight limit too.

I know the Airports nearby, its just that ryan air offer the only real options regarding flying times. On all 3 airports.

Singletrack Safari. the deal is pretty good! We are doing a week at the Vallnord bike park. Hopefully…

I suppose I will just have to just stuff my bike bag full of kit and take hand luggage only.

yeah, it is as I live in north wales so driving out will take for ever as we are going to Andorra.

I would think YT would have the money, plus they need a Dh rider as they have the bike. The USA connection would open up the us market nicely. It will be interesting to see how this works out!

Rode it on Christmas eve and its all open and running well. It was very wet but good.

Hahaha Santa is not that kind. Sat on a Bronson in aber and it was a great fit and felt fantastic. It’s just making choosing a new bike much harder!!

Nice one thank you.

TKMaxx do loads of ski stuff cheap. Poc Helmets for £40 too.

So it does. Well done. I clearly am not capable of reading today!

Hahaha I figured something like that! Where were you?

Isn’t part of the trail shut for felling? I don’t think you can do the Summit trail as the leg burner climb is closed. I think…….

I may have a 2013 Remedy 7 frame for sale soon….Just mentioning it….

Thats fast and pretty light.

Sorry I should have mentioned full suss.

Thats interesting. Good knowledge. Keep them coming!

oh dear. I see it.

I am sure i am missing something too….

That is good news then. Its is regular tapered so runs normal stems and headsets etc?

I tried a Medium Reign yesterday and I thought it was great, I’m only 5″6. I would not want to go smaller. I do have long monkey arms though.

I did it last year and would probably do it again this year. It was a good course. Last year the course was all on the new side of CYB, took in a lot of existing trails. Apart from that I cannot really remember!

Snow on snowdon. Fact. I saw it with my own eyes!

My GFs cat who now lives with me pooped in the bath a fair few times when he first moved in. To be honest I am fine with that, its seems a sensible place to do it if you are going to not poop in the litter tray!

I find Feliway helps a lot too. Certainly helped when settling in the cats in a new place.

I have entered. I may be doing it solo unless any of my lazy friends get involved too!

The Tour de mon is a great route, apart from this year when it was like riding in a lot of rivers! I’m based over in Caernarfon and have ridden Anglesey a lot My personal highlight is the Creperie in Rhosneigr. that is well worth woring into rides.

If you want to get out on the main land on your mtb drop me an email.

I just watched a bit of the video and it looks a lot of fun. Its the weekend after the Dyfi Enduro and I have done that a lot so this could be the idea alternative!

I cannot watch the video in work! Whats the format then BoardinBob? I realised that the link I put up was from 2012! Is it the same sort of thing?

sounds like one long run down the mountain……I would love to give it a go and if I can get some people together I may make the long trip from Wales!

That does look good. Shame it doesn’t really tell you the race format.
