To be able to pull a manual at will then hold it.

The card reader I use charges 1.75% on each transaction but I have to wait 2 working days for the cash to reach my account.

I ordered stuff on Thursday with my vouchers and it arrived on Saturday.

I have snapped Achilles in both my legs and one re-rupture all on the bike. The first time(11 years ago) we went down the conservative treatment which caused the re-rupture 5 months later. They then had to take the muscle from my big toe and use that to connect the tendon. Another 12 weeks on crutches with no load bearing,back on the bike at 6 months riding round the park and eventually back down the Golfie at 8 months.
The second time(5 years ago) it was straight to  surgery but completely different recovery. Fitted with a boot and load bearing after 4 weeks being encouraged to walk without crutches in 8 weeks but still off the bike for 5 months then normal riding after 6 months.
Your Achilles will never feel normal again but it’s just something you have to live with. The injuries haven’t curtailed me in any way. The first time I done it I was 44 and 18 stone so if your younger and lighter your recovery could be quicker.

I have just flushed through with dot 5 when replacing my Shimano brakes with Hope brakes,never had any issues.

Dunkeld Enduro for me on my Mega. Two days riding so it’s going to be brutal.

I messaged them last week and was told there will be an announcement beginning of the year.

Thank you,I will do that tomorrow as I have spare olives and barbs.

On the Orbea Rise forum they were saying that the Jose’s are zip tied together as they run along the side of the battery. You have to drop the battery out to do the job.

Because I don’t like Shimano brakes and my new bike has internal brakes hoses which run along side the internal battery which makes it a nightmare to replace.

I don’t anything main stream reports now and thank you for doing a great job.

I have had two Mega frames snap on me. The first one four years ago then the warranty replacement frame two years ago and both cracked on the seat tube. No issues with the warranty replaced immediately. Have now since bought a Mega 29r Pro and a Scout.

Was just listening to him on the Downtime podcast on Saturday. RIP Rab

I have had Hope brakes for the last 12 years and can’t see by them. Takes 5 mins to set up each end and their ready to go. No issue with stoping power either and I weight 115kg before mtb gear goes on.

I was at the Golfie yesterday morning and it was carnage with loads of walking and lifting over trees.

Started doing it last year after my warm shower. Cranked straight to freezing and start on my right ankle. It has been great for muscle soreness and injuries,usually stay under for 5 minutes

I just received my new Eagle cassette last week from Mantel £100

Looking forward to it. Street Pigeon posted the course on Tuesday but was removed very quickly

I just bought a KMC 12 speed chain from PlanetX for £29.99 and they are saying they have lots in stock.

Really enjoyed it

Their is a great loop round Bothwell Castle and Blantyre woods. Just xc stuff but mostly all Singletrack. If your driving from EK you can park at Blantyre train station and start the loop from their,I am more than happy to show you the loop

I have Hope pedals and find them fantastic. Two years now with no play and very grippy. The pedals take a lot of abuse as I am 115kg and mostly ride Dunkeld and the Golfie. Like all Hope products I have they just work.

I will be going back as I only use the weights and dont do any classes. Usually I am in mid afternoon when its quite so low risk.

I have using 165mm cranks for 4 years now as I was suffering from knee pain. Virtually eliminated the pain,what i did notice is that you are faster taking away.

Hope pedals,I am a big lad and they have been bombproof

The trail under the Super Morzine lift is open. We always finished on that as our digs are just along from the exit.

😂

Thought it was brilliant

I use Big Al at Wheelcraft,he builds all my wheels using tandem spokes

We are £173 return and that includes bike bag with Easyjet from Edinburgh. Private transfer for us but we could have done a shared transfer for €60 p/p

Thanks for the advice guys

Thanks for the feed back guys

We are heading down to Thornilee this Sunday does anyone know if that will be getting used for the event

Lol

My friend one it last year and choose a Evil Wreckoning. What he didnt know was the parts added to the build are all priced at rrp so he ended up having to put his old cranks on.

Had a great time,very very rooty and tight. Will be back up soon

Maybe look out my wet scream

Thanks guys

I live in Uddingston and love it. You can reach Bearsden in 30 mins using the back roads
