    Just a slight correction
    The orange marked course is the enduro course the ssec course does indeed ‘share’ parts of it but not all of it.

    The fork judders as the disc try’s to pass the pads.
    If the material and design allow too much flex and distortion the disc buckles and bends.
    This in turn binds the disc causing it to stick momentarily which gives the judder
    That’s the simple explantion another one is you get what you pay for ;-)

    Don’t know the area that well but have ridden around there a few years back

    Just a small point is it full on cheeky or did someone once say ‘ah go on you can ride through’

    looking at the sales details it states in the general conditions of the sale previous agreements for easement and crossings will still stand or something to that effect

    If the land is leased to natural England surely it’s there job as the lease holder to police ‘there’ land not the ‘owner’

    Nearly all the best riding spots from my childhood are gone or fenced off now but I still go there when I can and would argue till I was blue in the face that I have ‘earned’ the right to be there as I care for the area I guess you feel the same

    Good luck

    I rode out at Cromwell for a day with a guide from queenstown can’t rememder his name but it was outside sports who put me onto him . He also does helibiking trips from queenstown .

    Plenty of hills inland from whale bay hope you get some surf tho we had nearly a week of 5/6 ft and clean, if surfing is your thing forget the bike for a few days so lucky ! There ain’t much else at whale bay otherwise !

    I indeed have both Swift and Gryphon which i enjoy in equal measure
    I use the Gryphon daily for riding into work i can do a mix of on and off road so i use a fast rolling off road tyre.
    I like to use the gryphon for longer rides which incorproate a good mix of riding i find it copes well with any terrain i take it over and i cant really think of anywhere that the gryphon cant go where the swift can
    Obviously a swift with flat bars may be a bit easier to ride on some stuff but generally i have never found myself thinking i brought the wrong bike today
    If i know i am doing full off road stuff i would choose my swift because i have that choice available to me
    I dont have the peregrine so i cant comment on that
    Hope that helps which ever way you go you will not be disappointed

    They are indeed welded inside an aroespace argon filled chamber through a window and using welding mitts
    By a very nice man who owns the factory and knows a thing or two about welding and frame building
    I was lucky enough to pop in and meet him whilst on holiday so that’s how I know
    What you are in fact seeing is a weld that is floated into the frame tubes and by purging the inside of the frame of oxygen this in turn draws the weld inside the frame tubes
    This does indeed make the welds look different to what the op is used too seeing on mass produced ti frames it may not be to his taste but if I read it right then it’s not his frame
    I know Sam is away in the Slovak mountains till the new year probably avoiding the cricket !

    Just to keep you all happy it was a meal deal for two which I had to myself as I was home alone !
    From the little general store up the road they make it there.
    I had pilau rice and plain nan and just a little veg curry on the side left over from Saturday

    No kiln of niche to cook it in although I shall probably smoke some chillies over the weekend
