Welcome along…. Please note that we have been called F;#in crackers on occasions 😆
You`ll need good lights as well, at least 2-3hr burn time.

It was`nt too bad til half way round the 2nd lap. SSn you are either rolling it uphill or screeming downhill and there are alot of those in Whinlatter. The only bits it was really good on were the singletrack Altura sections.

32-18 😉

Hi CM, and say hello to Mr CM for me! 😛

I was 3rd SS, and wont be doing it on that bike again….Lost 15-20 mins witht the worst cramp ive ever had, 😥 finished 97th int end. They have supposedly shortened it. Last year it was "approx" 30 miles……it was acually 36 👿

Going gears this year

Ive only ridden Glentress and Kirroughtree. Of the 2, K.tree does it for me.

Buy it……I have a 1998 A6 1.8t with 163k. No probs at all.

Now now Lowey! there`ll be no ripping of legs ❗

When we have a bike/social we allways seem to end up in Tumors 😐

Guess we must be desperate by then 😉

I`m sure a couple of us locals would like to show you Skiddaw etc!

We usually go to the Bank Tavern after a ride, as there is a covered beer garden to stash our bikes. Food is good as well. 😛

Oh look!! another On One 😉

😛

XO Gripshift here.

No probs Jeremy….i did`nt mean to state the obvious !!!

BTW, One of our Tues possy runs a 1×8 and all he has is a fornt mech to keep the chain in place. Seems to work a treat.

I thought it was widley known that the front mech will struggle to drop the granny ring whilst under load. You always need to lift for a moment and it will go easily. Its all to do with the tension on the chain wrapped round the front ring.

As seen out last Sunday

😛

I had a set years ago and they were excellent. Until the bike was nicked. They were the first hubs that you could take the cassette off with your bare hands. The machining was superbe and the anodised colour was lovley.

They must be better now as well???

I bought a road TT frame from the states @$2200….(£1700) They retail over here @ £2700 😯

Only have to build it now 😐

Here you go…… 20/32 with M.Burn Square taper. Had to file a little out of the guard to clear the arm but a perfect match…..

The pic of mine above (athough you cant see them) are 90mm lock on`s

Who was it then Ton???

That`s an "Oh Really" expression 😉

Cheers Junkyard 😛

I saw the 2 lost boys as i was driving home. They were just the other side of Rydal heading towards Ambleside along the 591… I was wondering how they got there though!

And we get to see it every week 8)

BTW Clare, have you managed to get the post out yet, me thinks a sharp Stanley knife may be required ❗

Did the job nicely

😉

Yes indeed, but yours was the biggest 😯

It didnt take you guys long to get home!!!!. I think we managed just under 3hrs of actual ride time. Many stops there was!!!
I`m sure we will get to see some of SFBs pics.

Nice 1 guys….. 😆

90mm lock ons BTW.

Like this 1!!!

Mine is pictured on Crash-test-riders thread…16", 80mm stem, layback post, 140mm forks and 685mm Easton Monkeylite bars.

Awsome 😆

Cheers lunge, looks nice, rides awsome!

OK, here is mine….

Note, Silver Thomson stem 😛

You can`t get it out without mangleing it, Just punch it way down the tube and fit a nice new one. 😛

Here are mine, SS + geared.

Here is mine…..

It is over 1000 ft where they were. It`s all melted in the towns now!

Quality!…..I trust G returned home safe n sound 😕

I have`nt seen him today mind 😯

Hey Rob.. it`s only IMO of course. But bar ends work. Period!

They must be white

I had a quike go on Gavgas 16"…. then i bought 1 and i`m 5 10(and a little bit) 😉

Nice to hear from you again MAG…. It was very windy, in fact it was wind assisted on the way up to the bench, even through the snow. Bikes were almost flying! You`ll know what i mean 😉
