That’s a great clip.Well ridden but the guys are behaving like ****.If they had come past me like that then I would have been sorely tempted to spark the **** once we got to the bottom

You do realise that soops might be grooming you all ? 😯

What james said.

What racing ralph said – you can use a pipecleaner to get down into the hose.Pop a steradent into the bladder & go to bed !

That will polish out.

I hope that you are an actual female !

I like the silver theme though (stem & seatpost) but the bar ends are gopping.

I used one for nearly a year until recently buying a camelbak for the larger bladder for this summers enduros.I will still keep this pack for local blasts when I dont need the large camelbak.Like others above,the bladder didnt last long so I replaced it with a cheap gelert one from e bay.You can’t really beat this for the money.Only “snobs” will shun it.

ditto – that’s what I meant to say before ! LOL

steve_b77 – did your wheels come with the “doofer” for tightening the rear spindle ? I bought some crossrides used recently & had to track down the spacer for behind the cassette & now need to fathom how to fit the rear one without the tool that I am told comes with them.

I’ll be there Sat PM onwards – staying at a friends chalet in Towyn though so not roughing it on the campsite with you lot… 😉
Will be on my trance,with 4 other non stw ers on a SL superlight,commencal meta,marin attack trail & an enduro.

Whatever those free ones were you got at the Merida @ Builth a couple of weeks ago were,they were vile.And made me go mental.

****trots off to buy some torq gels*****

what neilsonwheels said.

Enjoy your alfresco carlsberg did you ?

kicks my ass into the middle of next week,always.
Its also our “pre ride” driving music !

lol – yeah probably ! – will also try dave mellors (local to me in shrewsbury) as they came up on the mavic site.I was going to try & blag some direct from the importer first though ! should be sorted either way. !

Cheers – I have read that bits for the crossride can be a pain in the ass to find so will try leisure lakes as first point of call –
Anyone know who imports/distributes mavic in the uk ?

Taliban recruit its youngest member – Osama Bin Rider.

That’s never bin a bike…

Because we like it ?

LOL

*****feels better about having just purchased 4 pairs of sintered pads*****

I can only comment on the Trance as I have one myself.Mine hardly bobs at all when pedalling & I “only” have the float r shock so no propedal/lockout settings.It seems a great characteristic of the Maestro system that it hardly bobs at all.As above,I have also made the switch to a longer travel fork than the 100mm it came with,I now run mine at 115mm most of the time which seems to suit the bike better.Fantastic downhill & it feels like there is much more than the 4.2″ of travel on the back end.

@tom84 – **** awesome mate.It made me want to go skate again (even though i am 35 & in reality can only just land a kickflip lol) but as a piece of art its something else.Some of the best music i have heard in any skate video.For me guy mariano is the best,but thats because I have loved him ever since the blind video back in the day.You must have seen it.

(In Big Brother voice….)

Day 3 in the STW house…….Tom’s thread has caused STW member shinsplints to laugh so much that an actual little bit of wee came out.

Amazing.

Can definately see the influence of skateboarding videos in there aswell.Especially as it uses the same music as Guy Marianos section in the Lakai “Fully Flared” video.

Cool sounds good – see you later then,I’ll e mail you know with my mob #

Doesn’t look like anyone else is out to play so whatever time suits you,will have finished work & had something to eat by say 6 so its up to you if you fancy it 😀

LOL – tonights the only night I have off this week as my kids are with me – will probably be about Sunday but thats it ! (going to nant yr arian saturday) – you should have just met me & not mentioned being tired,that way I would just think its your usual pace ! I’m no race face so if you fancy a gentle spin for a couple of hours tonight I’m up for it.

Nah – unfortunately not – come on,its a nice day – gentle pootle ???? 😀

No one then ?

“Light” freeride as opposed to “Dark” freeride which you do at night.With lights.Which is kind of ironic.

I didn’t know Louis Theroux was into MTB….. 😉

@ MTT – Surely its the best thread ever ? – female,lesbian,cycling related tattoo discussion ? what’s not to like ? 😀

Like this…..my ex..(..sobs sobs sobs sobs………)

mudshark- I reckon it is & it seems to be working 😀
****adjusts tie****

**** LOL’s that flyingmonkeycorps posted a photo before me****

It’s also one of those places that you pull up to in the carpark thinking – “**** me the trails will be rammed today” but in reality everyone just seems to be mincing about the car park & the cafe,their 2k Santa Cruz locked nicely to the back of their Q7/Navara/Discovery etc….

****coughs****

I’m available,love my bike (obviously) & have a very ***coughs*** open minded attitude to relationships…………

(& I have tattoos & spiky hair……….. 😀 )
