I’m loving the ‘prison-chic’ of that room in the photos.

Its one of those self storage places.

where do you ride ?

http://www.wharncliffe.info has some basic maps on how to find the DH trails.. they all end on Plank gate.

Steve obviously doesn’t know Simon very well, lol

lol. Hey if somethings worth doing…

Equilibrium looks really nice Matt, has that style of the old “racers”..

Sounds like an opertunity for us, We are taking on skilled machine assemblers / fitters / Electricians and PLC engineers. We just lost a BAe trained guy back to the aurospace industry last Friday building engines somewhere.

Good luck to all effected.

it was never very good (on the singletrack side) past Septemeber anyway as it was all Clay with not many rocks… always fun sliding down the steep bit into the hairpin halfway down…

There are better trails to be found on that hill 😉

thanks for that

mmm, about 5 mins

thanks for tip…what about bikes over £5000 ?

Ive been searching for some DH videos for mine so I dont have to pedal at all….

when you ride the VR its like doing micro intervals, as the training program takes your through that…. that said.. I can’t even get to the Power it says as a target ever !

PMSL John, Thanks for that 😉

Aye, I dont think I have the will to stare at the wall but the VR thing helps, that said… I find myself looking around the garage and thinking of new projects instead of watching the video.. !

final question, I promise 😉

If I got a RockShox Revelation RLT Ti Suspension Fork Dual Position Air 150mm White 15mm Tapered…(Phew) !

Can you still shim the max travel down to 130 or 140 without that changing the lower travel ?

ahh, OK thats why its Called DNA something… mmm will wait and see what the reviews come out like.. I have 2011 RLT Ti 150’s. there fantastic, and I have no reason to get rid of them except that I’m perhaps wanting a dual position setting…
was there a 2011, Duel postion, Tapered Revelation ?

(BTW, THanks for help !)

so blackbox has gone…. thats a shame…

mmmm, interesting stuff.. I’m only getting 45 min session, but 4 / 5 a week, So I guess its better than nowt !

big question, do you want a double or a single 😉

if you do stick to them, are they usefull for getting fitter on the bike ?

aye.. its pretty muddy round my local loops in winter.. not horrific.. Ardent 26’s I find terrible in the wet… so had that in mind.

but where do you source generic bearings ?

Looks really nice.. V tempted

but you don’t know which flat number it is 😉

mmmm, I think there is something wrong with the lever on the Elixirs.. will try fixing that first and see what gives.

!

many thanks.. damn…

Blue ray is a really good idea, could loose the dvd player and upgrade like that, I’d need surround system / blueray and dvd atpogether though

I’ll swap you for a Mondeo?

sold as unseen….

mmm, Altea appears to come out well.. Anyone got a nissan juke ?

daft question, but whats the differnt between XL and normal ?

Just got a quote on some custom green anodised bits for the road bike.

ooo, whos doing the anodising ?

Any news on when the nomad will be through?

Nope, end of Sept / October maybe, no rush now like ;-0

Have a Fiesta at moment, and its a bit small, so need to step up to something around Focus size… but its the higher rear seats, like Merc A1 etc that she likes for access.

second hand, budget up to £6k, maybe £7k if i’m feeling nice.

Focus have normal low seats though Matt.

hehe Rik, I wondered why there was a fan fare, red carpet and a foot massage every time I walked in….

anyone mentioned 18bikes yet ? where do I start… walking in at 5:25 (when they close at 5:30) to pick up some new wheels, Si spent ages prepping them for tubless setup for me, left at 6:05..

Just one of the many times there service has been great..

O, dumping a wire bead tire on Matt and asking him to try to get it setup tubeless 😉

mmm, tis true, its not a very positive forum.

mine certainly bends a lot when I watch it while its mounted on my Turbo trainer.

Better pic as it left 18bikes.

thanks for the kind comments, its worked well.

Pics Neil ? mine is built up.
