Ok im definitely coming see you later

Ahh i know where you mean its lashing it down here though 🙁

Ok I'll come down I'll be coming in at streetly gate where in relation to that is four oaks gate. Is it near the boathouse?

Hey taki do you know the park well? If noone else posts up we could meet up for a ride if you like.

Go with the hardtail definitely.

mine have done it since day one its annoying but doesnt affect performance. Although this does make me rethink when buying my next fork

im in brum as well theres not much sutton park is closest for me its good for fitness but it gets muddy really quickly. Its only a 40 minute to drive to cannock and the riding there is excellent. Wouldnt mind going up the lickeys but dont knoww much about there. The long mynds not too far away either.

Hmm ill be running a nevegal up front with a bonty mud x at back. Anybody have a link to the arch specific rim strips i cant seem to find them anywhere? So have i wasted my money buying the stans kit at £55 because if i just use the yellow tape i now need to buy the valves 🙁

it says on the stans website and also on the back of the packet i was just wondering if the stans rims were ready to go

i agree with BWD about the pace i love mine and cant see me changing it for a long time i dont have any experience of the hemlock im afraid.

i have some some salsa skewers they are really good
dunno how much they weigh though

ive always fancied riding in the FOD but wouldnt have a clue where to start. I used to camp a lot in between coleford and symonds yat as a lad, is there much good riding around there would anybody be able to show me a bit?

endura singletrack or mace nos both very comfortable. Endura liners are cheap enough and very comfortable. i find fox sargeants far too thin for riding in anything other that sunshine.

sorry one more thing i want it to include as much off road as possible does anyone have a good route

also id be doing this ride on a cotic soul whats the best way to carry your gear?

cheers that looks good value what about companies that sort the sleeping out or is it more fun too camp?

id agree with this my 09 revs have been a lot of trouble to keep going but i thought id just been unlucky. i wont buy rockshox again

hex cant fault mine

what causes chainsuck i never got it on my pace frame but i hjave a cotic soul now and that does tend to get it

might have to try and raise some more cash

the touran looks ok bit more expensive. how easy to remove the seats etc

Zafiras look ok,ish what are vauxhalls like for reliability?

ok just googled one. There pretty ugly are there any nice looking MPVs

what make is a multipla i have never heard of it?

just 1 my hex it serves every purpose sufficiently well.

damn that doesnt sound good. Ok so ill have to send them somewhere i suppose

tried all that. thing is if you remove the poploc cable the blue knob still used to pop back but now it does nothing

oh llandegla is good for a laugh just go there expecting sillyness and you cant go wrong

climacx is excellent and i really enjoyed penmachno ive done a few at CYB the beast was ok but i found the twyr ( i think thats what it was called) was crap a few good bits but mainly fireroad

7-8 pints over 2-3 hours is usual between my mates and i

yeah i love the colour need a brown saddle as well and my wheels are being built so it should all be built by monday

my soul

just in the middle of building mine now i cant wait for its test ride in cannock next week 😆

snap crackle and pop was good but didnt you hate the fact that after some of the fireroad climbs that there was then lots of downhill on fireroads. I also thought the heart of darkness section was good but i just found the trail as a whole was boring and repetitive.

i have just got back from a 2 day stint in wales. My son and i did penmachno, chlimax and the trail with the horns at cyb. We ended up doing chlimax twice i really enjoyed that, penmachno was good also we did both loops, the cyb route was crap i have done the beast there but the one we did this time had far too much fireroad. Going back in a few days to do nant yr arian so looking forward too that.

i recently bought some stans arch rims (cheaper than anywhere else) they arrived within 4 days and so far no tax wahoo

i too found rjx extreme excellent

cheers beans
