Mountain bike, no matter the weather. Road is just so boring, and only ever used to get to and from trails.

I thought there were guidlines that stated to use there own judgment. I cycle on the pavement outside work every day as i need to go down the road by work so im not crossing over to cycle around 50 meters to then cross again. I only go at walking pace anyway.

Hope your friend is okay. But it just sounds like riding beyond the trail conditions. If its a blind corner you shouldn’t be going full speed round it.

They use different map data.

I have a lezyne hecto drive, brilliant very bright if you want it to be, lasts ages, tells you how much charge is left and easy to charge from any usb port.

I eat that by the bucket full, im not a fan of the artifical sauces, this is about as hot as it gets before they start adding additives. Such a nice fruity taste.

Well i went from a 66 RC3 to a Lyrik and while not quite as supple they are plenty good enough and a whole heap lighter. Damping is better though the controls make a big difference and plenty of adjustment.

I’m on about Endomondo Bluetooth only supports HR.

Bluetooth only supports Heart Rate.

Endomondo supports ANT Heart Rate, Speed/cadence, will also use a Bluetooth heart rate monitor.

I have yet to attempt removing my XX1 cassette not looking forward to it at all, i did remember to apply copious amounts of copper grease before installing though.

Have you tried using this site on your phone without it, its a joke that stupid watch ad.

They were very good with me on my first ride along with them, always had someone keeping me company at the back.

Some are wider and some are thicker.

My five tens are the same size as all my other shoes. I would say there sizing is right.

I’m about to do the opposite and fit some Crank Brothers to mine i want that feeling of being attached.

Looks a good route that, often thought of joining Clifton and Moses gate up.

Mine are set at 35% sag, 6 clicks of LSC, 3 clicks of HSC and 12 clicks on the rebound.

2013/2014 170mm RC2DH here as well, fantastic fork.

Its not a silly question if you havent used SRAM shifters before, and before you ask yes they should have a good clunk when using them.

Shifter is thumb up for higher gear thump forward for lower gears.

Why would it bang against rocks?

Its higher than i have on my single setup.

Debatable, lol not really.

11-36 x 34
0.9 – 3

10-42 x 30
0.7 – 3

10-42 x 38
0.9 – 3.8

=10-42 wins

The 10t makes a massive difference.

On the low side a 28 x 42 is the same as 24 x 36

Hope dont make the bearings in there stuff.

28

Sram cranks xx1 or x01.

Definitely cant sign up for every week but i will be along now and again for sure.

Must have been i was way off the pace.

Did we loose someone, i didnt notice. That muddy hill in the middle was ace fun. Thanks all for waiting for me.

any chance you can email me the gpx file so i can load it onto my phone?
Email in profile.

Cheers, was good to finally get out with you lot.

Good ride, lot harder than i was expecting i just cant keep up on those hills.

If someone has the gpx file i would appreciate a copy so i can give the route a try again.

It must be a bad Monday as my day has been crap as well.

IMO if your doing this somewhere you really shouldn’t be, its best to use what’s around you don’t add anything from afar.

It is that, i don’t mind mud and water lying around but really not a fan of rain.

I will be the one off the bike more than i am on the bike.

Why should i be worried. :-)

I’m in. Be good to finally meet you lot. Not sure if im driving or biking my way there yet though i live in swinton so just the other side of drinkwater park.

My reading of the road and braking was perfect. Absolutely perfect.

So why didnt you brake harder at at all. I could have stopped faster by using my feet on the ground.

I put one in the cap and one in the base of the bottle. There not mega tight just enough to compress the sealing rubber. Then i pump to 80psi and it usually pops the tyre on and inflates to about 30psi.
