our two demo units arrived today too, looks like stock arrived end of last week with Zisher.

Yep – we (18 Bikes) have a couple of units on backorder ready to go out as hire units. Showing as due end of March, but we all know which direction due dates tend to nudge.

Email us on info@18bikes.co.uk if you’d like to be kept in the loop on that one.

Cheers for the mention Carlos!

Slant can clear 27.5, with a spacer to limit travel.

I’d get that crown race fitted properly though – doesn’t look to have be drifted onto the fork all the way.

photo I took earlier today

RP90, if you can find it. It’s bloody amazing stuff.

chakaping, YHM back. As Podge says, Pook has helped somewhat!!

munrobiker, exactly – we’re highlighting a couple of points, not the whole route

Here’s a direct link to the booklet.

(I’m not entirely convinced that everyone has read this before commenting) ;-)

Thanks folks, appreciate all the comments. As Stilltortoise and RideSheffield say, the whole point is to bring other user groups/stakeholders together to start a discussion.

This document has been VERY well received by Peak Park, alongside Moors for the Future who did some of the previous work on Cut Gate.

There’s lots of sides to this, including user education.

Mick- I think your points about other problems (idocy in the countryside) are valid too, that’s a slightly different side to things but does link into user education.

Cheers folks, glad to get some replies straight off.

As per the booklet, we’re looking at rider (and other user!) education first – but that’s a very difficult task.

It’s by no means a winter only issue these days, often wet and bad to ride at other times of year too. We think there’s still a lot of use (bikes and others) when it is wet, hence the growing boggy sections. I don’t think enough people are avoiding it when bad. That’s not necessarily intentional, hence my point of education.

The previous work by Moors for the Future has done a cracking job, agreed. It’s meant that most of the route is good, but then contrasts heavily with the really wet bits.

I think the tide is changing a little, with riders now paying some attention to what they ride and when. There’s still a big (probably growing) group of people who are used to trail centre/all weather routes and don’t question a route guide on a website (for example)

Interesting that Tony’s back with Magura, he was certainly dang good when we dealt with him for Magura years ago.

Glad all’s sorted.

I *think* they went back to distribution from Magura in Germany.

That side of things isn’t your problem though, the retailer should be your point of contact.

Agreed, the trickle-down has been quite noticeable with Shimano over recent years.

Bikes, puddles, Lego and our shop window Chirstmas tree.

ta for the reminder!

Give us a shout at the shop, I’m happy to at least do the numbers on this for you. Might get me some hydros on my bike ;-)

lathes.co.uk is well worth a look. you’d be surprised just how good something that’s decades old can be.

gandmtools can be worthwhile too. Plenty of ex-school stuff there, I got a vice there a while back.

Do you need to swap wheels with another bike? All FS bikes use 142 or 148mm through axles now.

If not, crack on with the QR version I reckon.

Agree. I’m fairly certain this is Cotic’s thinking on the whole thing too.

Heading down to the show to see the new 2017 Genesis bikes, along with Ridgeback and Saracen.

Going to feed back about the website, it’s not great!

Doncorleoni – that’s a shame to hear, but dealer should really be first port of call. Genesis aren’t all that well set up for direct customer questions. I know they have email/contact us on the site, if I were them I’d maybe miss that out and point people to dealers.

We have a few in stock, 11-42 and 11-46t

Let’s try that Crossthreaded link again.

Project Binky from Bad Obsession is the best car series around, the levels those guys go to are amazing.

Tim at Sideways just put me onto Crossthreaded which looks like it’s well worth a watch too.

Shred, there are people who can fix that sort of thing.

Worth a chat with a Santa Cruz dealer who can have a chat to Jungle/Santa Cruz on your behalf too.

Discontinued afaik, yep. May be some stock left if folks are interested.

Alu frames £1600, bikes from £2500.

Prices *should* hold until Sept at least, here’s hoping that the £/$ recovers somewhat by then.

Email me info@18bikes.co.uk for more details. We have pricing, but have a BIG job to get those live on the webshop!

Ooops. I took on an alternative personality just then and inadvertently posted as Matt.

ex school 3″ Record, spot on![/url]

burgers, cheese, veggies and a brew.

of course, occasionally. RS Clio, so it kind of likes it anyhow.

GLWTS legend – why are you selling?!

That we are. I have ONE 32mm seal kit in stock

Most excellent. Well deserved pride imho.

glasgowdan – I’ve not crunched numbers yet, but have just added to our EPOS. Email me and I can get in touch once we work our offer out?

info@18bikes.co.uk

Where are you? I know of a Clio 1.2 in Sheffield that’s probably up for sale soon, would be around that cash I reckon.

So will I be able get a 150 or 170 in 30.9?

it would seem so, yes. Both are listed on the Fishers B2B website. Fire me an email if you’d like me to keep you posted info@18bikes.co.uk

I’ll sing the praises of the Panda 100hp all day, my wife has one. Not that fast, but such great handling. Half the fun of it is keeping speed up, barely need to brake anyhow.

Ours had some damper bits and the usual tyres/servicing, but pretty good otherwise. Had an intermittent electrical fault that cleared once we realised the scuttle drain was blocked and half full of rain.

I’ve now listed the Tanpan on our site, ready for preorders. Delivery should be early April.

Marc, I’ve just emailed and then seen this post/thread.

If you ever want to join me for 3peaks, I’m sure I can put you up for a few nights. :-)

Seconded. Hired from them once, took my own bike the year after. Larger hire car/waiting at the airport was a bit of a faff, I reckon I’ll hire from them again next time.

Not quite true, Big Stone no longer handle Five Ten, but there is a UK sales office.

Your warranty is with the shop, who should see you sorted. If you struggle with that, I can at least ask Five Ten UK on your behalf – I’d have to ask you for something for our time but we might be able to handle a return to Five Ten for you, assuming you have a proof of purchase.

I’ll try to sort some photos when I’m in on Monday. Can get some of out painted Monsal/Blacka models too. Email me at info@18bikes.co.uk and I can forward over

Cheers,
