    Day#3 – Calorie counting using that App suggested above is fantastic. Can decide to have that glass or red wine or not based on fact. 12 stone 3lbs, after starting on sunday at 12stone 4lbs.. the key will not be putting that back on over the weekends festival trip.

    Phil, did they both visually leek fluid out of the side walls when you first seated them ?

    Both my previous ones did. This “new” one certainly doesn’t, not one bit out of the side wall anywhere.
    Anyone in the industry know if they have changed them ?

    Record what you eat – try myfitnesspal?

    That looks good.
    I did weight watchers 10 years ago before our wedding, and it made sense. Its just colorie counting / limiting.

    It worked for 3 years, then quit smoking, piled two stone on, then managed to get a stone off that, but even after starting riding seven or so years ago can’t lose that last one.

    mmm, talked to R53, apparently, as I bought them off the Boss website its a grey import. So they are not really intrested at all in helping but he did mention there was a problem batch a couple of so months ago.

    One would have thought Boss would NOT sell them to countries that have distributors or sort something out internally.

    O well, try with the French.

    I’ve heard it’s possible to really mess up the characteristics of these forks because they’re ‘too adjustable’ for most people. I’d be surprised if you can’t get them working for you, does the manual give a ‘back to basics’ setting?

    Yes, dont that. Basically everthing in the middle, but with not much rebound damping.

    Thanks Lungman, thats a sensible thing to try first. I’ll have a word with R53 and see what they think.

    They are a really reasonable size for a 2.2, not ballon and not too small.

    There is no special designation on these to say there Tubless ready (LUST). They are from Next day tyres, Part# 55-559 (26 x 2.2) Black Chili

    Cracking weekend. I forgot about the guy who threw his bike at the lad ;-)
    Really really enjoyed it, and it was dry and dusty all weekend, in fact there was more rain last year than this year !

    Roll on next year… I WILL DO better ;-)

    they were heros, and a heroine, was a young lass who was in the second seat, and her Dad up front ! fantastic effort. Did anyone else see them on the climb ? They almost made it (and I think only 2 or 3 did).

    Top weekend.

    I think you also need to throw into the mix what job people have.
    Its Ride/Work/Kids/Wife balance that needs to be considered.
