Gorge road dirt looks sweeeeeet!

I may be up for this ride will confirm nearer the time, would be good to meet some new faces and ride some bits I havn't done before.
Rob.

VW T4 bought it 18 months ago wasn't cheap but it will hold its price well
it's the 2.5 tdi and is better than my old car(honda accord 1.8) on juice.
It has 5 seats with a bulkhead to keep the dirty stuff away from the clean etc.
Will not go back to a car as long as I am riding bikes, the kids love it and it's a pleasure to drive on long trips.
Rob.

Anyone about tomorrow (fri) thinking of a peak outing?

Looks like I need the green, thanks for the advice.
Rob.

What colour = what spring?

Looking good Glynn.

Thanks for the info folks Tesco near the airport is a good un.

Thanks for the help, but do you have any links guys I don't know the airport/racecourse junctions?

Really looking forward to this ride as it sounds good, not worried too much about me and my bikes capabilities as it has been my only bike for a while now.
I have even done a couple of uplifts round Sheffield and the dirt jumps and wooden sh1t at sherwood pines on it, I guess I am just looking for an excuse to hire out some boingy stuff from the shop there.
Rob.

P.S Hora you have mail in a bit.

Soul it is then, unless someone sells me an Orange five in the next week or so 😆

Thanks folks.

I used to work for them 13 years man and boy.

Batchglow, Sheffield 😆

I prefer new born baby's first sh1t.

Nice bike goog, I had a peek at your pics on mtb britain.
I am 5/11 ish with short legs, what size do you all ride?
I do like my bikes small and chuckable( 16inch soul and curtis sx singlespeed)

Any idea on the weight of a medium?

I only have £1500 so I will be looking at second hand bikes.
I have only ever had single pivot full suss so I am unsure on how the Trek would feel.

Just got back form pines they have put some hardcore down in the muddy sections after the downhill bit.

It is a hope headset by the way.

There is a brand new one on sdh for sale.
Would love it but too far away for me.

My little girls bike.

Well done that looks bang on! Great price too.

Mine went for £450 but had fresh paint and decals so was mint.

Seen this and as allways photos never do it justice, look at the trees and how far he is hanging over the back wheel.
It is steep.
Well done (not that I condone this type of cheeky riding of course.)

Peaty's drop is in Greno woods on tother side of the road opp top car park.

Was at sherwood pines jump spot today when a couple of blokes rolled up one had a full face helmet on.
They dropped their bags off and said guy took off his full face and began jumping through the doubles.
Mental!

ROFL I was thinking of going down there tother week but there were too many walkers on it(Sunday) I take it it's best ridden in the week?

What size rear hub is it 135mm or 150mm?

Rob.

Chain whip, Take one old chain and screw it (with a decking screw) into the end of your work bench.
Just hold wheel horizontally and wedge it against the bench and yer belly.
Job done.
P.S dont screw into block wall as it will pull out.
Rob.

Black it is then.

On the subject what tool to get the lock ring off, it only has two holes.

Cheers found em, I just got to identify my hub.

I have seen an airborne liberator frame for sale for about £60 posted looks in good condition too.
Let me know and I will find it for you.

I was there today I don't know the names of the trails but in the dark pine areas was really bad, about I mile from the end there was a section that looked like a muddy motox track.
And was about as wide as one too.
It's not looking good for winter mind you the car park was full tho. 😆

On the subject of middleburns I have a set of RS7' with square taper bb and a five arm spider, what bcd spacing are they(going to go ss and want a steel ring)?

Cheers Rob.

Dollheads!

I just Googled them and ODI Longneck do a lock on grip it's 143mm long.

Try some ODI Longneck grips not sure if they come in a lock on tho.
