Renton thank god u said that I work in droit which and could not think for the life of me where he was on about

Yeah blue. And they have stopped doing gold apparently as it’s inconsistent

Nor me never felt I compromise I got it to a point for seated peddling then left it an put my arse over the back tyre if I need to get lower than saddle

Me I don’t drop mine an I ride some quite steep techs stuff, drop offs, jumps I’ll pretty much point my bars down anything. But seat stays put 1 reason is I tried dropping it and I felt I lost some control as I tend to sometimes grip saddle with legs while standing for some reason

I haven’t got 1 I’ve thought About it but I seem to feel lost when I drop my seat down for the downhill bits. So I never drop it an it’s set reasonably high. I consider myself reasonably quick downhill but feel everyone must not be wrong having one. Did anybody feel they kind of used the saddle as something to push off/grip before they had a dropper. If so how do you find it now

Cheers dirty dog. I think it’s made my mind up. An north wind i just fancied a change don’t do uplift or go to the alps and thought I could possibly go smaller. But I never feel overbiked. I do ride quite hard and find the hardest stuff I can with big drop offs and stuff. So maybe I do use 160mm

I’m not really sure what’s different. And to be honest I really like my spicy just fancied a change. Maybe I should listen to the saying and if it’s not broke don’t fix it

An if that’s true dirty dog that’s really not selling it to me

It’s a spicy I’ve got tho so 160mm instead of 140mm

Hmmm makes me think been as there’s not loads sayin how good their 5ive is. Yeah I know they 140mm but I’m wandering if I’m really needing all 160mm. How tall are you Vincienup

Yes I agree and I only need building regs for garage an porch but as soon as I want to do the canopy I need planning. So I’m told

Bump

O so it seems I can do it then. What advantages are there apposed to slime tubes as it seems weight won’t really be that different with all rime tape and slime in there

/hijack/ sorry. I thinkin of tryin tubeless but my wheels are for schrader valves not presta can it be done

Forget removing it just go to clas ohlson. HG mould remover or grout cleaner spray on give a scrub an be completely amazed. I’m a tiler and I recommended it to a few now only £5.99 too I think

So project your dog that would attack other dogs an people as you found was still allowed off the lead when no dogs around. How about if a dog comes flying out of nowhere wanting to play with a child chasing after it. Then what. Very respectful dog owner you are. I think not

I just pulled all minis off my lapierre then used nail varnish remover on sticky stuff. Then polished it up after. No problem with paint coming off

Doesn’t help on the waterproof but I wear padded shorts underneath 1) they keep cold out more wen sitting in snow 2) they help not bruising all your hips and arse bones when crashing

I’m slightly glad it doesn’t seem to be only me that likes to go out an find the hardest a roughest things to ride. An then get to the end smiling thinking “Jesus that was hard work”

We’ll said rusty

I Ache. Summed that up great ha ha

But your crap on wet pebbles

It seems that the ideal surface is needed at Cannock now then “Tarmac”. Why are you looking for ideal surface that the whole point you go off road on a so called MTB so as to not be riding on perfection surely. I also think now over eyre forest they should start getting rid of all the mud an putting gravel down so it’s easier for us to go fast. That’s really what your saying. And Fwiw I ride a lapierre what a muppet I must be

Completely agree ST each to their own and not every one likes the same thing. I don’t go to Cannock very often as I prefer more natural trails. But you criticise places for having different obstacles to overcome. The only thing to criticise is yourself for not riding a trail as you find it.

Skill is probably the wrong word ability is suited better I think

Of course you do in a sense if you lack the skill to ride a bike then you would struggle

Golf chick it is your skill that limits you at Cannock. You lack the skill of being able to ride pebbles fast. That’s not a dig at you. I lack the skill to jump massive doubles but I’m not going to moan that they are there I’m just going to keep at it and eventually either land them or give up. But what I
Trying to say is it’s never terrain limiting you but your lack of skill at riding that terrain

Surely you go out riding and go different places for a variety of terrains and obstacles. Pebbles are Cannock, wyre forest mud, kinver is sandy, Hopton castle is full of roots but it’s not something to moan about is it you ride the terrain an push yourself on that terrain. You don’t go somewhere different expecting the same thing. Otherwise why bother. If you can’t ride pebbles fast keep going an practice on them. But MTB as there called are made for all terrains so get on an ride them all. Just my opinion

I’ve just had a MRI on my knee awaiting results and have first physio appointment in a week. But I’ve heard talk of hoovering it out (obviously the medical term) are you able to carry on as normal after this or is there a recovery period. Mine is down to a lot of kneeling at work and football on hard astro turf. I’m only 28 so quite worrying really. But seems I should be keeping them warm whilst out.

We’ll I’ve got 3 different shades of red 2 hope I superstar but I think that is because they fade differently. But IMO the superstar peddles I’ve got are more dark pink

I may be wrong but it comes across to me that all these “cheapo Chinese” haters are just annoyed with the fact that they have spent a fortune on a different light as it’s branded. And maybe still trying to justify it to themselves how much they have spent. Just my opinion

He has replied askin if light still works to which I’ve replied but just waiting again now. We were only stopped for all of 3 mins I’d say if that and wasn’t as if was a hot nite neither I think it must be a fault somewhere and not just the heat

I agree I think it’s as there so cheap you expect to get problems and expect to have to sort those problems yourself. Where I suppose it’s maybe not the case

Yeah after lookin again I think your right acid chunks. And I don’t no maybe I’m just very negative just feels like ill end up buying a new one in the end

I bought if of eBay. Seller in uk I believe sportsinglife I think name is. I’ve messaged him just waiting on reply

So pussy what do you think is bs about what I’ve said then

Well I haven’t contacted seller yet. But not holding out much hope really. I’ll certainly try though. I was expecting to start this thread an be loads of people having had same problem to be honest

Ok thanks I’ll have a look at those then

Sorry this needs deleting but over 15mins old to edit

I ride a spicy. 160/160 and not ever felt like its over kill or struggled goin up you just get used to the best way to peddle it really I think. And I agree all about getting suspension set right once you have that’s it
