    loddy_dosser dont get me going on that, some lovely twisty trails just turned into straight line motorways around here just to get that stupid time. me i know a good ride leaves me with a smile a bad ride leaves me fast asleep on the sofa. just keep it simple and enjoy it for what it is.

    have had the same problem from new,mine is on a fatbike with a hope 32t. chainline is not good when on the 42t but runs very quiet when in use just back peddling or pushing back will cause it to derail

    with core removed put into pump and give it a blow air should just rush through if not core borked, you do have core fully open to?
    have you removed core and closed it put to one side then pump tyre up so as to be seated 60/70psi with track pump, it is seating with track pump only fingers crossed then quickly remove pump and srew core back in.

    never trust the weather. i missed the group ride last year as stuck in hospital, looking at the photos i was glad to be it looked horrible with the rain.
    but have been on other years when its a dust bowl which is how i like it.
    can never get over the braking bumps out there, greens and blues are great runs the height of some of the burms are great.

    as egb81 above very rocky and can be sharp depends on your style of riding if you are heavy and hard then possible punctures, have ridden the area at least once a year for last 7yrs.
    looks like you could be there in the thorny season to so tubeless and new sealant once you get there is your friend. i find air travel and sealant in tyres are never good travel buddies but others will differ.
    i ride 4″ and ride lite so had no issues.

    just a follow up to all your advice given
    went for the devolo 1200+ system in the end as it gave me the best choice of plugs for my needs, why the 1200+ and not any of the others in the range i always go for the top product rather than wishing i had afterwards
    it seems i have gone from a good signal in the front bedroom router location then flakey everywhere else to having a singnal to the bottom of my garden:)
    i bow to the hive and there advice
    and if you have a wifi or network issue these things work i have not tried downloading to the sky hd box yet but will over the next day or to

    have put a complain in on what ever form they sent me but not come back yet. i have no idea what they are up to regarding prices as mitsumoney is pointing out they are offering better deals. there off shore call centre is next to useless. have spoken to a nice guy in the 3 store who gave me some good advice just want to speak to someone to sort it not sell me something which is what the call center is doing.

    easyjet give you a total of 50kg to include all travel luggage per trip
    your bike bag is a max of 32kg
    the rest is for your suitecase and carryon
    gets interesting for me as the evoc bikebag is great but comes in at 8kg before putting anything in it i am always 29kg ish with tools and a few odds and ends
    as said ^^^^^ if possible carry shoes helmet ect in suitecase if your bike does go walkabout you can at least hire something fingers crossed never happened but many reports on here every year of things turning up later.

    just 2 hrs of lazy cgi rubbish. will not ruin my teenage memories sitting in the cinema with my mates wearing our crash helmets then riding home afterwards like mad things
    when they made paddington they got real bears to play the parts so it can be done.

    have been many times. it is a very relaxed company happy to work around the level of riding you want.
    there is some climbing if you want to but van uplift to the highest point is good for me.
    alan owns the company alex is his son. good breakfast to start your day, beach is right on the doorstep and all rides end by the icecream shop.
    the old thread that will pop up i found was just a witch hunt at the time typical stw. have been around 7 times and yes as with any holiday issues have popped up but alan has always steped up and helped sort it out
    off again in april cannot wait

    love my fatbike over everything else 29er 26 i have
    if you dont like them just skip anything that has fat or fattie in the title. get a little fed up with the sad people who find a need to piss on my fire becouse i enjoy something they do not
    you miss the point in thinking they are for snow or sand they can do everthing a 29er or 26 can in many cases a whole lot better
    im hanging on for a 180mm rear 200 up front what a toy that could be
    someone in the states has polished up one of those mutz and looks lush but a foes can only be in red so im off to see if i can get one
