Topeak mini 18 is as good as they get. 🙂

I’ve got next weekend booked so will keep an eye on this one.
Cheers

We have had a change of plan now gonna ride the blue trail and then go up the road to Cwm Rhaedr.

@chrispo and other locals when riding the blue trail is it easy enough for me to ride some black and not leave the misses for to long, or is the blue just as good as the black bits?
Also how is the snow up there at the mo?

Going next weekend and cannot wait 🙂
Gonna add the blue at Brechfa aswell.

Why do you need a bash?
The chain stays on the outer ring ok on a triple.
Lock the mech remove outer and granny rings then shifter.
Job done ( free )

Just stripped it down and noticed one of the spring pawls has snapped.:-(
Any of you nice chaps got a spare spring?

No file and no vice thought about hack saw, but thought better of it.
Think I got the wrong one the M532 has smaller lugs. Doh!

Deore wont fit 🙁 the little lug things won’t go over the 73mm bb.
I’ve got 24/36t at the mo, will 26t shift ok?

The one on the A513 above Stafford.
cheers

Staying at Afan Lodge for half price so using that as a base.
we road Nant in November and come to think of it she road ClimachX which I thought pretty gnarrrr. so may have a rethink.
But the plan so far is
friday will be Whites,
Saturday will be the main days riding at Brechfa so Red trail first because its longer followed buy the blue trail
then Sunday W2 or just the Wall.
heres hoping next weekend will be crisp winter sunny days 🙂

Canterbury are long and pretty toastie.

Cheers guys
So is there an easy way to link the red and blue trails

I think the problem for her with CwmCarn is that the vast majority of the trail is not smooth and requires more advanced skills in moving body weight and the bike about.
Hitting roots and rocks uphill and gully drops are not her cuppa.

If you jet wash just get theses

have they stopped making the Eskar’s ?

1 ClimachX gnarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
2 Nant stunning
3 Afan opened my eyes to trail centres
4 FOD Flowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
5 Cwmcarn techy

What no Pitches? not havin that!

That’s better 🙂

There ok but they are not Fox! I had them with the black box damper fitted.

If anyone wants to know its a rear mech adjuster.

I went for the M510 in the end but if it won’t fit/work with a 26t on m770’s I’ll send it back.
Looks a bit chunkier than the M532

Awesome bike just got better now with Fox Rl’s

M6 I’m guessing

^ well that told me !

Is it the M532 or M510 chainring?

Chaino’s got them? Linky?

Handy as I’m working in melksham. 🙂

loco so how do I make sure the damper is drained?

I changed my seals today on my 150mm RL’s for the new sks ones and while I was there I thought i would change the oil in the lowers.
So all going well drained the oil, cleaned up, fox fluid the new rings,refit lowers top up oil to recommended 165ml damper side 30ml spring side
🙂
Could not stop the Damper rod from spinning when doing up the nut on the bottom of the leg. grrrrrrrrr
So take the legs off again so that I can grip the Damper rod and thread the nut.
To my horror when I removed the leg for the second time oil went everywhere grrrrrrrr again.
I was draining the oil for 10 minutes first time, so my question is 165ml not correct?
and what happens if you have to much oil in the legs?
some advice would be great thanks

I don’t think you have to touch the top of the fork to replace/service the seals.

I might be wrong.

Local vets 50ml bad boy for £2 in the RSPCA box. 🙂

If you learn to ride in cleats/SPD’s and have reasonable skills you can ride them with the same freedom as flats.(almost)
I have rode Downhill tracks uplift days and never have a problem taking a foot off and then almost instantly clipping back in.
Uphill techy sections are also easier to ride with spd’s
