With memory map, I’ll design a route, generate a gpx file then copy it to my garmin, I have problems using the osm with mem map.

Also look for a strava to gpx converter, unless your subscribed to strava.

I use this with my garmin edge 705, and have all my routes on the sd card. Get yourself on strava, google the area and gpx for your routes, plenty on the tinternets.

Quinn’s bikes on edge lane. Very helpful and knowledgeable bunch of lads.

Nice video, starting to forget what all this mountain biking larks about 😕

Don’t do this chilli out, it’s either on or off.

Slayer _ seasons in the abyss. Tata

Ride up to the masts at old pale, there a nice downhill track if you can find the gap in the hedge.

Also take your own thrash metal compilation mp3 player, they normally have some horrid dance music full belt.

There are websites which you just cut and paste the url for the strava page and it will give you a gpx file.

Tony iommi and Cozy Powell did a session at Amazon studios in liverpool, my first job. Tony hid in the studio. Cozy was superb, ended up doubling my wages for fixing a guitar amp and tape deck for him. A month later I received an envelope containing a signed photo from a band called Queen.

Cae Gywn farm next door to coed brenin is excellent…tyn y groes for food just down the road to dolgellau.

The the trek ex8 has a really long qr for the rear wheel abp

Sounds like something to throw in the mix of yearly rides to look back on.

Cracking gig last night in Manchester

Trails and car park should be open.

The cafe and shop is closed on a Monday.

Made me laugh or cry at the guy with a climbing wall in the garage. Stop giving me ideas. As for the vice…we have one in our office in work with pillar drill and a boxford lathe.

Turn bleed nipple about a quarter turn. Have the brake lever horizontal. Cap off and top up as needed don’t let this run dry. Then with your tube on bleed nipple watch for the bubbles until they clear. Then tighten the nipple up. Job done. I use Citroen suspension fluid litre bottle 3 quid from car shop.

Love my yeti asr5

Did a taster session last year in a climbing shop in ambleside.

Then went onto a climbing course when I returned home.

Top roping I’m fine with, but my bouldering and lead needs some practice.

I get into a situation where i’m supporting most of my weight on my skinny arms, and thus start to flag.

Mersey trout

Tool are one of my fave bands. Picked up their first album when no one had heard of them. Now it’s bands like the Russian circles

Rotor might be slightly bent, or may catch on your spacer. Maybe the spacer is upside down ?

Some of this has lasted me a few years for the bearings.

my Garmin 705 froze last week. popped the back off, disconnected the battery, and left it alone for 30 minutes, then put it back together.

hey Presto, up and running no problem.

we had a tv rental shop on main road, so I’d go up the night they’d get thrown out and the circuit boards out of them. did radio licence when I was 16

Indoor wall climbing
Rock and metal gigs, concerts, festivals.

total rock

Love my hope pro2 on dtswiss 42 rims, bought about 6 years ago.
Been excellentfor general xc stuff.

Oh 3litres please and some space for tools and a couple of tubes.

It could be a colinear Rachel 😛

Share the link, my dab radio bit hit and miss depending on which room its in. 😡

Garmin 705 is brill, upload routes to follow, set training plans, upload to strava, garmin training website, free maps via openmtbmap.org.

The set to follow road or not…the dogs doodahs

How about nice bit of Slayer or Napalm death ?

Aye..I’d like to add my vote for shimano xt775 brakes, have them on both bikes and havent had to bleed them since fitting them.

I recently had my Living room walls skimmed, on
a slightly smaller room to your yours. From a
couple of locals who I see driving past on my
ride to work.

The lads quoted me £260 took 8 hours, an
excellent job done, recommend him to any one.

Hannah, I’m 5’5″ and ride a small yeti asr5 alloy, now I wished i’d gone all out, and bought a carbon with all the trimmings.

Its an awesome bike, found the medium way too big.

They do an extra small in the carbon, but that just felt weird. and too small for my frame, might be ok if you have a small torso.

But the bike is alive, energetic, and just balls out fun and grin inducing to ride. not slating the blur and the 5 I test rode on the day, but this was in a different league.

Its awesome, watched it on friday night, would of loved to have been there.

Many memories of watching them with metallica at donington in 91.

What a hoot that day was.
