What I can't understand is why they always set up camp in grotty places? I'd be inclined to only stay in nice places, not a bit of wasteland by the side of an industrial estate!

There's **** all to nick in a beauty spot.

Any small builder should be able to do it -its not hard just mind numbingly boring!!

Hightest comment 😉

I am going to have a go at re-pointing my house next week, never done it before so wish me luck.

A builder mate said it would be about £50 per sq m.

I am too tight to pay that, without having a go first

Eye Ken I have seen your frame in the past I was tempted to buy it when you had it for sale.

But it would be too big for me as I like my frames small. (16"Soul,16"Alpine 160 and my SS Curtis SuperX)

Looking forward to the complete build pics.

Rob.

Waves at fellow Curtis Buddy.

Love my SX.

I had two of these little nests in my shed the other week there was only one wasp in though.
I saw it leave so I went in and snapped them off the roof, they havn't come back since.

A few years back at our dirt jumps a swarm of wasps made a nest in one of the jumps so we sprayed the nest with powder.
The next day we went back to assess the situation, no sign of the wasps so me mate took a spade and began to dig the nest out.
All seemed well until some of them took offence and attacked said mate who was off like a shot, unfortunatly one had managed to get in his pocket and sting him.
I was on the floor, other peoples pain (within reason) is comedy gold.

Thanks peeps I will get it checked out.

Thanks for the reply takisawa2 time would not be an issue as I would be over early, are the routes sign posted where is best to park etc?

I like the look of this trail, how easy is it to get to from Sheffield?
I feel a mid-week ride is on the cards.

Just make sure you can't un-screw the hinges from the outside.

VWT4 for the win, I have had mine nearly 2 years and it's the best thing I have bought.
Like you I had 5K and found a nice one (with 5 seats and bulkhead) and looking round now I would struggle to find one the same spec as mine for five grand.
Scene tax is mental.

Just looked at the rest of the vids and it is Greno woods.
How did they get on with Peat'ys drop?

Is that greno woods (Sheffield)?

Bit of off the bike training for you

Anyone know how much he is doing?

Pop over the road to Grenna woods too, and don't leave owt on show in the top car park.
You will be reet.

Rob.

andyg do you post on 28dl think I have seen your pics on there before?

Moses I used to work with a bloke (now retired) who used to go on about only women with a muff like a big grass sod will do for him.

Thanks folks keep em coming links would be cool too, as I have never been to Wales before.

Cheers Rob.

Cracked it!
The collar of the presta tube worked a treat.
Nice one, thanks guys.

Rob.

Will try the collar thingy, may help as at times I could have done with an extra hand as when I went to pull the brake lever the hose popped off.
Cheers all.

Pah! vid of me in't park down the road.

I am bleeding caliper down to leaver (bike at an angle on workstand as per youtube vid).
There is a clean stream of fluid when I compress the bottle but when I let go the bubbles seem to go back up the drain tube back into the master cylinder.
Any tips on clamping the rubber hose to the bleed nipple as it pops off and the seal isn't great.

Thanks guys.

What Tracknicko says is bang on I have said I will not be going back there until summer. I did a solo night ride before xmas and it was the worst ride I have had in years.

So Jedi if I were you I wouldn't come up until we have a dry spell.
But looking at what you normally ride I can say you would ride the wooden stuff,downhill trails and get to the bottom and say WTF!

Rob.

I had this a couple of times on my ride yesterday.
However my rear brake packed in at the top of Hope Cross so it was an interesting descent down the Beast I can tell you.
On the climb up to the Snake Pass I was in a world of me own head down grinding away(thinking what I was going to do to me bike once I was home) when a rider came round the bend motoring' making me jump, he did say sorry by the way.
(Anyone off here? he had a couple of dogs with him )

I think those wet roots would have me off in seconds.

Decathlon are purdy cheap.

Rob.

One tuff cookie.

The trick with clear powder coat is to give it a thin coat, if you put too much on it will come out of the oven cloudy/yellow-ish in colour.

COOL 8)

I would bet that it was Coleen that hid the camera that caught Katona snortin coke.
Ker-ching

Hora that pub where we had the big Cheese burgers was called The Rambler.
I have been thinking of going back for more food, proper size portions too.

I allways prep my frames myself(don't take their word that they will cover threads etc).
I use spare bolts for mech hanger and old bb cups for bb no need to screw all the way in though.
I have some sticky silver foil tape for steerer tube and seat tube but rock wool will work just make sure it's neetly pressed into the tube.
But places like ARGOS will do this for you but you will pay loads more for it.
Rob.

36 and move these about day and night.

Boo! I am on 12 hour nights friday.
Will keep em peeled for another day.
Have fun and take pics etc.
Rob.

Did anyone stay on two wheels?

Was a good-un, first time I have done this route. Was real carnage going down the grass towards the gate at the top of Cavedale, I was pi55ing my self at the comedy crashing going off all around me.
Had two off's myself in the snow but on grass so got away with it,it's the furthest I have ever travelled along side my bike.
Great to get down Cavedale without dabbing in the wet/snow, found a nice step down jump in the quarry bit too.
Deffo up for the next one, oh nice to meet you all.
Rob.
