Do you use the big ring? If you do but rarely, just go for something like 36/22.

Just got my groupset, but snapped my slx chain a put a sram chain on and it’s silent. Was very noisy with the standard shimano chain.

That Ukranian tractors book isn’t actually a whole book about tractors in Ukraine btw. It’s hilarious though.

My chaintool is awful tbh, so bad it bent the outer plates. Think i’ve found a chain now anyway :)

might aswell go for the ebay one then. Cheers.

Built my new bike :D Will ride tomorrow.

New frame and groupset :D Treated myself to some brakes aswell.

Peaks. If you’re there in conditions like today you will know why. And if you’re not, tough luck.

Want new forks and wheels.

Best: Jersey from aldi, warm enough for me to have just that and 2 base layers in the Peaks on saturday.
Worst: Shimano AM40’s, purely for the fact they are now too small :( Great shoes when they fit though.

Cheers, will try to find some 2nd hand rev u-turns.

My mum told me a hilarious one. At Overbecks, the national trust property above the Salcombe estuary, there’s an information board about pirates. A dad asked his daughter what she thought the pirates did with the treasure they stole. She said “sell it all on ebay.” :lol:

My mum has one of those raleigh lizard things, very similar!

You got any examples slowrider? gonna nab my dads crossbike stem for now i think :P

Need 90 i think mamadirt, cheers anyway.

Sorry, a bit longer than i was looking for. Thanks anyway.

Cheers.

If it’s 100 and 25.4 clamp i’m tempted. Cheers.

I might be around in the morning. Very icy under the snow, good laugh though.

Commencal absolut sx is another, but most ss fs bikes are slopestyle bikes.

Will be frozen i suspect.

Sorry Jon, bike tracks all look the same in the snow…..

That was also awesome Crazy-Legs. I got one on my phone, will put it up later.

Neither did i ;) Did you see the crazy cloud bank over towards Combs moss and Chapel? Looked like the Day after tomorrow had come true :lol:

I saw your tracks then Jools182! Was it you we saw above coldwell clough?

We also went down, it was definitely easier riding than walking. And I wont tell a soul ;) It was so quiet anyway, i dont think anyone would have minded. The car park at Bowden Bridge had one car when we went past this afternoon!

We were a group of 13, so you would have known if you’d seen us. Did you go up or down the cobbles?

Such good fun today :D Crazy-legs, did you see a bunch of riders just above Coldwell clough? If so i was in it.

Such a good ride! The only time i overtake people on descents is when it’s icy, but that’s probably just me being an idiot. Very icy though, probably fell off 5 times going up from Peep-O-Day.

Not really that much now, probably only an inch or two.

From Hayfield Pook? How early? We’re setting off at half 10(ish) and will be in the sportsman later on. My club christmas ride you see :)

I live in Whaley Bridge, so not far, and the Landrover has new chunky tyres. What time H4muf?

Anyone?

Head towards Stalybridge and up on to Hobson moor, some good cheeky stuff up there.

I’m guessing the Lakes, no idea where though. Just because of the way you said it might cause an issue.

Fsr xc 2009 comp frame, slx 3×10 groupset and clarks skeletal brakes. Building it on christmas day :) but also :( because i have to wait that long. And i will inevitably have forgotten something and Bike shops wont be open until the 28th at the earliest.

661 kyle strait are pretty comfy.

Your bike weighs 30 kilos showerman? Pounds surely?

Syncros had the metre wide one, i think it might be available next year.

RC boat ftw. But make sure it doesn’t go out of range half way across a pond :evil:
