I think I need a HC (high capacity) for the HD, but is there a certain rating (no.5) or something I need?

Also, any makes to avoid or look for?

6’2 here and got large Swift. Great bikes. Got a niner fork on mine (because it came with the bike) and was going to put the original forks back on. I don’t think they look too bad and they are great, but may sell the niner forks as i’ve got the original swift forks too and wanted an original and more classic look.

sh’office (posh shed) in the garden for me.

wouldn’t worry about it mbuk readers are looking to buy dh or jump bikes 😀

your life will be too short psling if you don’t bother with any of that list 😉

you won’t be missed then 😉

are you replacing the garage door….. with a gate?

i’ll get my coat.

if it fits you fair play (the bike, not my coat).

not at all, its great for fitness – all the animal noises, creaks, etc make you ride faster and not stop 😯

MTFU 😉

£13!!

The DVD is only £22 and I have a projector screen at home, so I think I’ll do my own showing – with FREE popcorn!!!!

followed by ‘Follow Me’

t!ts its gone now. Reading was on that there list, with a link to the showcase cinema (although it didn’t go to any film details).

Obviously they’ve decided Reading is too sh!t (I agree).

satmap 4th’d.

great bit of kit (but yes its pretty expensive).
sooo much better than using my phone.

ah ok. explains the big discount 🙁

got some f260’s – very nice.

6’2″ and thick boned and take the large ones.

yeah, do it the other way (north to south).

near impossible to go up it and a bit boring going down the other side

oh yeah an use the bridleway this time 😉

I got some spesh expert ones from Biketreks £130 down to £99.

‘suggested target to set yourself’

plenty of hankies – one for tears, one for nose then a spare one or two… and I don’t usually show much emotion

yes you can

there isn’t any minimum sponsorship required for this event I believe. starts earlier (from 7am I think) to 9.30

oh and its rocky.

thanks brassneck I know the one. was thinking of there myself as its right on the route.

thanks guys. the big car park doesn’t allow over nighters.
also want it to be in a pretty secure place as its a car/van and looks like it could have stuff in (which it won’t, so is even more annoying for everyone involved)!

Just spoken to the Red Lion pub in Avebury who’ve said it’s fine to leave it there (and a promise of 4 hungry people returning) – yeha.

great light and worth getting (got a couple – one on bars and one on helmet) but they are not 1200 lumen. They usually state 900, but that is still optomistic.

no, i’m in the UK and want something from HK.

I like my tubeless tyres (on another bike) but I’d need new rims and they are a pain in the arse regarding changing tyres (as I need to do, living in the Chilterns and going elsewhere to ride quite a lot).

i’m no racer so not bothered by a little extra weight, but do hate punctures – especially now its starting to get all muddy.

I have a maxol one, but its a proper job with flue, tapped off the gas from the house (totally corgi registered of course….not).

remember bottled gas ones create condensation.

fan is cheaper in short term and not being used too often.

also use an electric tubular heater for the work shed, which is just set to come on when it is cold, to keep the frost out. plenty warm enough to work in.

p.s. my mate was on a singlespeed but still did the climb at the end 😯

they are very nice.

sizing is small/slim. mine looks too tight to wear off the bike (so my wife says)

great write up and effort riding it all.

shame you did the descent on the road though – you missed a lovely roller coaster section of singletrack, but that mini deathbowl was great fun.

an excellent day.

this may fit onto your helmet

is does to my met, but certainly not all helemts.
take a look at yours before ordering.

sorry not around, but i’m sure you’ll see some riders there to follow if no one comes forward from here.

not a great place to just rock up to, to try and find trails yourself to be honest.

got a gpx file somewhere if it helps.

windproof or warm one?

See Evans sale

I enjoy the beast, but Jacobs ladder (south to north) not so.

great, thanks, that has done the job.

ah ok. just had reservoir cap off (to top up) so prop just excess fluid.
will get bleed kit asap – can i just get the nipple attachments from somewhere?

can anyone give me a clue?

heh heh, hadn't thought of seeing what the merc dealer would want.

Just phoned them and am waiting to hear back now (they probably need to go and get a calculator with bigger display screen)!

great, thanks thats already saved me a few (bike part) pounds 😛

onlineautomotive is just £445
partsgateway – waiting to hear back – do they take long?
gsfcarparts don't seem to have the bits I need.

got Magura Julie. tried topping it up for now and order some bits tomorrow. Ta

yeah will just try topping up the reservoir for now.

i've got various syringes and tubing – where can I get just the special little bleed nipples?

thanks.

it only comes with the stabiliser though doesn't it or do you also get a pot support part as well?

p.s. what colour did you get – thinking of the pimp'tastic gold myself.
