If the flags are coming from an account with no activity, I would have thought Strava would suspend that account. Try them again.

Never trust a mate who tells you a trail you’ve never riden before is all “rollable” !!!!

Simple answer, when it stops hurting enough to ride. If that was tomorrow that’s when I’d be riding. 😀

🙁 🙁

Loco tuning sorted out some tokens for me, he has the threaded caps as well, not silly money and totally transform the fork.

Totally ignore the recommended air pressure, stick a couple of tokens in there and set air pressure by sag 20-25% suits me.

What bikes do you consider unsafe ?

Got a pair, their round not to heavy and connect the tyres to the bike nicely 😀 No Reliability problems so far.

I’m assuming if your a high earner your a high tax payer. Get some of your money back and spend it as you see fit. I’ll bet you’ll do a better job than whatever the government of the day is.

Regarding sizing I’m also 182cm with a 84cm inseam and have a large ultimate slx. I’ve even gone to a 120mm stem. But then I prefer to stretch out rather than reach down.

They need to respect the views of the wider party, but they also need to represent the people who elected them.

I’d go further their “priority” is to represent the views of those who elected them. Corbyn might have the blessing of the Labour party, but with out the support of the PLP and the millions of labour “voters” who elected them what has he got ? Nothing IMHO, just control because of a rule anomaly. He’s not interested in labour voters or the PLP, just his own narrow views, which seem to be shared by a few hundred thousand labour party members.

I’ve got X1 on one of my bikes, and to answer your question I’d say closer to XT than SLX. Different feel to Shimamo, deff more of a positive clunk but nice all the same. More importantly it just works, the gears are there when you want them, no fuss or bother.

12,000 for front tyres on a front wheel drive car is fairly normal. Plenty of taxi drivers I know would be happy with that 😀
It’s your car and you’ve got to be happy with what tyres you fit. But over the years I’ve found little difference with premium and budget tyres for around town driving. I pay £40 a corner for mine an extra £15 for tracking. Fronts last 14,000 rears 25,000 ish.

I’m pretty sure the roadie couldn’t care less about being passed by a vehicle with a motor attached, it happens to me 100’s of times most rides 😆 Good on your dad for staying active at 77.

Ignore shop fits they’ll tell you whatever they have in stock fits.
Ignore the web its full of nobs
Buy the one that looks the best to you.
Ride it lots.
Buy new stuff when you don’t need to ask.

this hits the nail on the head !! You’d be ok on either size wise, just get the one you like the colour of the most.

It is a shame Sram didn’t sort out the shock. But personally With mail order bikes I largely self warranty. If a frame broke it would go back, but if something could be sorted by a service I’d just get it done myself, I’d take these sort of costs into account when deciding what bike to buy.

Interesting article about Armstrongs relationship with Livestrong.

It’s a perfectly reasonable thing to spend your own money on, and I can’t see that it would fall foul of the rules.

It is indeed, but before they do It would be worth looking into any help, grants that might be available.

If they have another leadership vote and Corbyn again wins with a landslide, surely that has to put to bed any idea that he’s unelectable? The “coup” seems outrageously cynically-timed, poor show.

yes but the landslide will be composed of die hard traditional labour voters. Not the millions of centre voters needed to win a general election.

It’s happened to me twice.You’ll get a form showing all the transactions. State which ones are yours and which ones aren’t. Whatever you do maintain that the card has always been in your possession and that no one else knows your pin number. You’ll get your money back in full.

It’d bugger all to do with immigration.

Believe me it was. Over and over again it was the one reason for Brexit that kept coming up with my friends ( working class ones ) and customers.
ninfan’s post’s hit the mood of many Brexit voters head on. Like him I could list many examples of how “real” people have lost out to immigration. The’re not racists or stupid just that their opinions have been formed by actual life experiences.

Not in my experience. I was struggling with a 32/10-42 on my 29er. Using a 32t oval didn’t make any real difference, went down to a 30t in the end.

The bottom line is your spending about 3hrs a week on your bike, your mate is spending 6hrs. Everything being equal he’ll kick your butt. 😀

I’ve still got those fox forks MG. You’d be welcome to borrow them to try if you like. If you decide to go in that direction you can make me an offer or give them back.

Yup fine for most riding like any hardtail. But if much of your riding is long rides on rocky tracks perhaps it wouldn’t be the best choice IMHO.

Total tosh, I’ve got one and I’m 56, its fine. Sure it’s stiff but then most hardtails I’ve had have been the same. Not my first choice for all day rocky epics but great for the woods and trail centres. 40mins !!! perhaps the nukeproof rep should ride some more 😀

Nobody can tell you whats better for you. It’s the nicest bike thats all. It’s the one I would buy if it was in budget.

The Yeti is by far the nicest bike IMHO. For fast trail riding the 120mm fork is a plus for me. Put a dropper on it and its my kind of bike.

Taxi25 – given the size of the loop the head-to-head comparison is quite interesting. You lose time on the really steep bits, but gain on the steadier climbs and almost pull it all back on the rocky gulley. What bike were you on?

I was on my Trek superfly 100sl. But it’s got 120mm forks and a dropper on it. Providing descents aren’t to technical or silly rough it flies downhill 😀 regarding the steeper climbs I’m a bit heavy. I can power up them pretty well, but if I want to carry on at the top at good pace I’ve got to back of a bit or I kill my legs.
I’ll have another go on that loop when everythings dry again but I’m not expecting to kill your time it’s pretty good.

Can’t yet make it up the first climb on that loop. Think your KOM is safe.

As MG saes there is a line around the step, but much of the climb is so cobbly cleaning it in the wet is a real achievement. I found the final climb from Castle Coch to the fireroad the hardest part of that loop. Your bound to have tired legs by then if you’ve been going for it and the last bit is SOOOOO steep 👿

Ah, I have none of them to my name

Not giving yourself credit MG, you’ve still got this one

Check out this segment on Strava: https://www.strava.com/segments/3770401 — Castell Coch Loop

More of a route really, but very tough. I had one go at it, couldn’t beat your time and never fancied another go 🙁

Edit. Quote and comment seems to have reversed themselves ?

 I am several places ahead of taxi25 though which is important

Only until I find out which segment your on about 😉

My brother in law said I’m getting an e bike is it ok to come with you. my reply was you ain’t coming with me on one of them

Ahmen !!

I’ve got a Trek superfly 100sl elite and a Nukeproof scout 290 pro. They compliment each other IMHO. The Trek is superb for longer fast mile munching and the Nukeproof is great for the quick fix in the woods stuff. It’s me sorted any way

How far away do you live ? Why not make a day of it and visit wonderful Cardiff 😀

Had mine done about 8yrs ago. They’ll start you on physio the day after the OP, at least they did with me. The physio’s had me on an exercise bike after about 3wks and I was doing sneaky short road rides soon after. Proper mtbing will be months away !! If your having the hamstring graft you’ve got to let it recover properly.

If an announcement on a forum is all you want to do give it a go. I used to do that for mtb’s on another forum a few years ago. I think the most we got was about 10 normally 4 or 5. Problem I can see with getting a big group of strangers together to do a century is who decides the pace, do you all go at the pace if the slowest ? If not you’ll have to publish route details ect, ect and before you know it you’ve “organised” an audax.
