I have the official tools from stif not needed anymore yours for £20 posted

do you think it matters about my additional weight I can appreciate you come down from a much greater height than me just don’t want them to dive to much into corners and down steep stuff.

Slight hijack but I have the 44 ti ‘s with the rc3 do people use the air assist as lots of reviews of the 55 and 44 which say that you must not have it on as it ruins the feel of the fork. I am 95 kg and therefore in my (poor) marzocchi manual it states I must have it on which to me makes the fork feel notchy. Would i be better to knock it off and dial in more high speed compression or just accept the way it feels, not sure if I can get a heavier spring. Sorry about hijack but sort of on topic if you are a bit heavier.

just ordered a rear shock will post something up once got it on and used.

I have the 44 rc3 ti best forks I have ever had including the 2011 kashima 36 floats I replaced with them not as stiff but unreal plushness. They are very active if you stand up to drive on climbs but hold up well if you stay sat and grind up.

done/doing the rice bit just wondered if anyone had similar and how long it stuck around for.

it is the freeride version so will need one of them. thanks for all th info

useless with pics will try and do some to flickr but basically the granny ring is touching the middle ring so there is no room for the chain.

RC3 ti’s are 522mm axle to crown 3 mm more than a 140 rev so should not change handling much but you have 10mm more travel. Not that light but very plush I love mine, 2 year guarantee.

I am near you and will keep an eye out my mates turned up in Bramcote about 2 months taken after being taken from Sandiacre.

Done

Run a dropper post and don’t want to lose that, have an angleset in it to that makes it a bit shorter to

very different to nomad, looks good though.

I have one on my heckler been on about a month and I am really happy with it. Simon sets it up how you want and I paid £300 all in with the ti spring which is a bargain. Does not compare to the DHX air that was on before.

Just changed from 2012 XT’s to elixir 5, XT’s are very powerful but I did not find they have the modulation

park by the church just up the road, not in front of anybody and free

Round Linacre/Holymoorside is pretty quite not super knar though ! I am there Sunday morning welcome to join

Love that descent a walker cried due to the stress of watching us ride down it and accused us of ruining her walk. We had a record of 11 over the bars between the 5 of us going down.

Had mine 8 months and done the main pivot bearing twice and the bottom shoc bush 5 times, just put the tf heavy duty ones in. I bought the proper sc tools from stif which cost about 60 but it’s dead easy with them. Like freestar says use the butcher/nickel guide and torques.

I have been jedi ed and fully agree with what is written above, I tried to pass on his teachings at the weekend, as a result my mate fell off 4 times coming down the stanage plantation. Don’t think I am destined to be a coach :-)

shockwave in ruddington will strip it and rebuild completely if needed, friendly and efficent service

got the ks supernatural 950 i 6″ one, expensive (ish) but well worth the money for me, needs a strip and clean every few months and that’s it.

I had 36 floats on and have just changed to 44 rc3 ti’s found the floats made the bike to tall the rc3 seem very plush so far and are only 522 axle to crown, put in a works h/set to knock the ha back by a degree. Bike is as slack as 160 but lower and more stable. Works out alot cheaper to.

are you selling the saints :-)

+1 for havoc, i have the carbon ones at 750 best bar i have ever had, do catch the odd tree though :-)

you are such a funster !!

muddyfunster – wrong = cornering head/body/eye position and jumping ie lifting of the lip and trying to spot landings.

xcentric – can’t speak for you but our group found it mentally more demanding than physically, we were there for about 5 1/2 hours which to be is really good value for £85

I witnessed a beginner suffer a seriuos neck injury on the red before it was changed, blue 1st IMHO

buy what you can afford and enjoy riding it, everthing here (uk)seems expensive, went to buy some new jeans the other day levi’s £95 I paid £30 for my last pair, needless to say I still look like a tramp

split it, i broke a mate’s 09 enduro offered 550 complete and got 930 in bits.

I am being jedi’ed Tuesday not sure I am going to be able to ride like that though.

another vote for advantages, both ends

+1 for legolam need to have more discussion with your consultant about your options, I always thought people were able to exercise on pacemakers. Good luck.

will give it a go cheers

ssboggy, the riber one do you split of the bridleway to the left just before the gate into the field, I have never tried that.

yep head up the road over to starkholmes from cromford decent road climb then turn right up white tor road which is proper steep. Turn left at the junction then very steeply further up hill. At the top(after rest) take the first left and through farm about half a mile take the bridleway on the left (just after road becomes track). Follow up to top then just fire straight down. About 3km which will bring on to a road again. Take first left down path for more descending through a wood :D. we do a route which does these to shining cliff and black rocks which virtually touches no road for 22 miles, welcome to join sometime (sundays always though).

you can get up by coming of the canal where there is a slip way type road to the A6 next to a big house, turn left here through the gate and head up and you will find it

get yourself to the resevoir at the top then head back down the hill towards the fire station. when the road turns left go left through the gate and through the field, straight down over the wall left again. follow along the edge till you cross the broken wall then turn left up the hill. Bit of a climb up then you are there follow your nose down, several ways all good down to the canal.

Ive got a med cage one you can have for £42 posted, with red kcnc jockey wheels, few marks but sound.

I would have ridden down it anyway I know were it is just wanted a pointer from the start, only a quick post that needed one quick answer. Alternatively the trail police can post up and draw more attention to it. What is this local ownerships bollocks (not that I live that far away) unless you are land owner …k off. I don’t mind people coming to ride the trails I have contributed to building in my local woods as long as they respect the other users and don’t leave litter. I don’t even mind them skidding and causing braking bumps or ruts shock horror.
