Cheers Stoner.

mm, I’ll have to get the dremel out.. So no issues around the rear end then ?

onone appear to have to run 180mm rotors to get clearance, is that right ?

cool, cheers chaps

I know these new SC are expensive.. but there are a suprising amount of them out there, and other bikes of simular price.
At Recent Steel City downhill race in Sheffield, I counted six carbon santa cruz bikes, Nomads, TRc, Tallboys (Ok one was Peatys).
On top of that there were so many other Ibis etc etc…

There was a guy selling Ti 11-36 9 speed on Ebay.. i bought one.. it was utter utter shite.. and I wont hold my words back.

He got a lot of flack over on US MTBR forum… and I chipped in.

Basically the big ring snapped at one of the joints after three rides, and they didnt fit free hub very well.. there is a long list of issues.

Just in case you bump into him. Lucky Nino was his name..

cheers Druid…. will try to figure that out. The alfines all a bit new and strange to me

Cheers Jo, so you still have to run the alfine cable entry horizontal to the chain stay ? some of the pomp pics show it running diagonal up the seat stay..but I cant appear to set the alfine in that position.

Well north of hadrians wall we look at the map, pick a route and ride…

South I do too… thats how I discovered a miles of great trails near my house, however, given I’m away for three days, I thought It wouldnt be too bad to ask a comunity of riders, some of which who are local to Filey, who in a community minded way, may share a little of there knowledge so that I may have a nice ride, on a trail thats OK and not try a trail thats especially sensative or a certain NO NO.
Via email to protect said trail, as I have done for others on here.

Don’t see any harm in that….

lost me

Raincliffe

Just googled Rosedal..yes further away. Anything nearer Scarborough ? Those woods just outside to the West ?

many thanks all.

indeed… same as usual then.. Anyone from Filey way recommend some where to ride up there ? (Not Dalby !)
thansk.

Is that two DH first in this race ?
First win at a DH race for a 29er and first podium at a DH race for 650b wheels ?

looking good off that drop

Black Everything.. then BRIGHT Orange POC top that you can’t miss on the pics.

you may have seen me on the floor, just before the drop on my second run 😉

I was 152 Pook

fantastic ! that may fit me actually

Are you feeding that lad Haribos ? What time did he finally get to sleep 😉

tagging along.

Fiamma here. The “NEW” straps are made of plastic so dont corrode.

ahh, I saw you Hora. Duck whistle sounds great.

Pook, I would have been launching the gap so wouldnt have seen you….er OK.. In my mind I would have done that gap 😉

What a FANTASTIC Day it was, loved beeing there and er trying to race. We have a GREAT MTB community in Sheffield and really celebrate having a World Champ riding amongst us.
I didnt realise POOK and Hora were there, would love to have seen who your were.

Steve, well done to you and the team, everything worked like clockwork.

I wont hesitate to Race and Sponsor the prize again next year, unless your find a more bike orientatned sponsor this time 😉

BTW, Pinhead is just a wind up(I know who you are) -Rob told me yesterday 😉 Shame its tarnished the thread a little though.

Glad I pluckup up courage to do the drop this year.

yey, there you go Dan your out 😉

Its pissing it down… that may make it a bit harder for ya

FFS Dan just bloody ride and stop pontificating. I wish I had the free time you have to ride, and yet I still find time to ride 100 miles a month.
Your in a fantastic location to just ride out of your door on your own at night, morning, even weekends ! Rivelin, Houndkirk.. and now the Peak.

Pick yerself up and ride before you have kids and you have fek all time 😉

docrobster – I’ll challange you for that last place in vets 😉

I’ll be racing and were sponsoring the Elite Prize. Should be a cracking day. New track is fantastic, although I’ll be skipping that gap jump in the middle.

Its dry out today.

Will mail you.

mmmm, no one has complained about Planet-X / Onones low prices 😉

Cheers. Is it HTC to run memory map then ?

Ardent on the back? Madness!

Not in nice dry conditions, ARDENTS front and back rock.

Cheers.

The snows not too thick on the Bridleways by the looks of it, should melt off for the weekend.

A LOT of snow up high. Its absolulty STUNNING though this morning.. you’ll have a great time.

Don’t buy another bike, buy a spirit level

The 2.1″ SB8s when on the MTB though are surprisingly draggy I think.
No your not alone, I agree, I think my Ardents 2.2 are less draggy on road than SB8 2.1s

SB8 are pretty draggy on the road..suprisingly.

What about Shwalbe Silento..
