My Irish terrier was 18 months (Vet advised to allow joints n bones to develop) before I started with her, Also took time to train her to run behind the bike as IMO nothing worse or more dangerous than a dog running in front of the bike.

I had this on a 6 month old XO1 mech, tried a couple of batteries, not leaving it anywhere in freezing temps etc with same result so warrantied it with sram through my LBS and had a new mech returned to me within 3 days.

I had Hope Tech3 E4 before my current Tech4 E4’s and new ones are noticeably more powerful than both the Tech3 and Code RSC’s, best brakes I have ever owned to date.

Never used Curas but have recently been using Code RSC’s which are my first SRAM brakes in years, really impressed with power and reliability so far as long as I stick with SRAM original sintered pads, mind they arnt as powerful as my Hope Tech 4 E4’s on other bike which have been faultless and quiet using Hopes (galfer) red all weather pads.

Yair, Thornielee or Bowhill for South end of the Valley, was at Yair recently

Cool Breeze, 2 Hoes Bro, raylees revenge, Hot Spaghetti, Double Decker and Yair Man all personal favourites not keen on Forbidden Fruit but its all down to preferences and choices.

Just got my shock back from service, bit revalving work done at no extra charge and my spare spring exchanged for something more suitable to my winter weight FOC.

If your looking to buy a spring captaincook2 then Ben Reid has some for sale on Pinkbike

Had my Storia for 18 months with zero issues, just contacted Mojo re servicing and quoted £100 which seems reasonable enough and they were super helpful with setup and adjustments when I bought it, its been fit n forget since then.

Got about 6 races and 700 miles of off road riding out of mine and it never missed a beat before the jockey wheel bolt sheared when riding along a fireroad, it was replaced under warranty without question but now running xtr 11 speed.

If your gopro is a session then I’m pretty sure you need the Feiyu Tech WG2 as it has the session adapter.

lobby_dosser try Gordon Hardie at Hardies bikes in Melrose, they have a large that his son races on.

I’m in North Northumberland and have a large but will be out on it at the weekend…….welcome to throw a leg over it one day next week though.

I have a 2.3 Vigilante in the back of mine with lots of clearance, way more than my Bronson did before it if that’s any help.

We get ours from Cyclejersey been using them for over 10yrs, mostly mtb but we have had the odd road top and gillet as well, all done in our club design. Can recommend Ride It clothing for custom shorts as well.

Went from MM front HD rear combo to Vigilante front and rear about 3 years ago and run them all year round in all conditions,i ride mostly natural tech trails and not much trail centre but do a lot of racing as well never looked back and wouldnt go back, often get Planet X selling the tough high grips for less than £20 per tyre as well.

MWB Transit here with separate bike workshop that holds 2 bikes mobi & all necessary kit in it, then in living space enough space to sleep 2, swivel fitted to passenger double seat, small worktop and drawers plus storage under bed & a diesel heater. I am one of those awkward people who wont have a van and carry bikes on a rack on the back of it + I know they are secure at night. Happy to email pics if required.

Had a pair of Tenns for over a year now and cant fault them on value for money, bit sweaty on a warm wet summers day but fine for this time of year , lots of use in filthy gritty, dirty wet conditions and wear is fine……on par with my previous Madisons and Alturas for waterproof and durability………used at least once a week Oct – Mar.

Descent World had a thing on this last week HERE[/url]

Manon to Radon

Troy Brosnan and a Scotsman to Canyon

Richie Rude back to DH

Were just a few of the guesses about the poem.

Cant comment on 10spd but I know a shimano 11spd shifter and a sram 11spd derr work fine together.

As above, your LBS just needs to create an online warranty return with fishers and once a returns number has been issued post it off to them, shouldn’t matter where it was bought from although your LBS may ask you to cover the postage.

WTB Vigilante front and rear or Trail Boss rear…….Planet X currently have 40% off these till end of month.

2016 Med Reign 1 here only a few rides in and coming from a Nomad 3 there is no noticeable diff in climbing and its certainly no worse in tight stuff (I’m thinking its actually better but need more ride time) plenty stack adjustment on mine as well.

Love my switchback BUT its not without issues – limited rear tyre clearance (2.3 HR is fine but no go for Magic Marys) and rear disc mount is about 5mm to high (180 mount/rotor on a 142×12 rear dropouts)

That’s what I though but just wanted confirmation…cheers

HR2 2.3 on the rear of mine with no problems, a Magic Mary 2.3 would be too close for comfort though.

Had no problems with my irish terrier just a couple of solo rides to make sure he ran behind the bike and that he was focussed on me and not any other riders.

If you have a good relationship with your LBS and they are a SRAM stockist they can facilitate a warranty return to Fishers.

Shame about this, best enduro races going IMO, best timing, best format, upto 3 days riding, 6 timed stages and seeding meant that you had clear track for your timed runs and if your paying to race that’s really what its all about….this year the stages were better than ever as well.

I enjoy the Scottish but hate the long queues for a early start time, you should be able to select these when you enter, also the more technical stages can be a bit ‘busy’ due to all abilities and ages mixed in together.

Ard Rock is the benchmark though…superb!

Yea that’s Nae Spleens, ‘To hard for ews’ is on other side….next to the classic.

I had this problem 12 months ago, just sent them away and received a new set of forks under warranty.

Trailskins here had them a year now, several offs, never moved and holding up well.

I used a slide hammer bearing remover to remove the outer bearing races on mine with no drama at all.

Had 2 friends with these forks have to abandon rides due to front wheel bunged solid in sticky, gloopy mud, think they were running Marys though and were fine on all other rides, just wrong trails on wrong day……………sure the 2015 ones have this issue sorted.

Another for the Dainese Trail Skins here

IMO def worth the weight, I prefer a stiff sidewall on my tyres so went for the team issue version.

WTB Vigalante Team Issue, find it great in all conditions and so far bombproof/stiff.

Troy Lee A1 is comfiest I have owned, also liked Urge but it either fits or it doesn’t due to little adjustment. Tried a Bell Super but found it pressed uncomfortably on my temples.

We use freshsites and wordpress here.

Irish terrier……usually 7-15 miles
