Go Ape is at Mallards Pike
Beechenhurst is near Pedalabikeaway. Park at Pedalabikeaway for the trails.

Same happened to my wife’s 105 on her cx bike, I replaced it with a new one. Stripped the old one and there was a bit broken inside

Fancy a ‘c’ to go with that Taz??

Yes.

I have no mates that’s why there’s plenty of spaces left lol
No Clubber I won’t be at the start!!

Invite only old chap ;-)

Plenty of spaces at the cHONC left Stu ;-)

Tollah, the Wiggins one is sooooo good, chapeau.

Cheers! From THIS[/url] set if you wanted to see some of the others from the 2nd day at the 2011 TdF

Some stunning shots on this thread.

Yup, going to head out on a new local loop that I’ve half ridden and the other half is mapped out in my empty head, fingers crossed!

I can’t decide!

Sorry I have too many favorites!

Wife bought me a bike
I bought her a Wii
Best of both worlds? Mind you I do hate computer games. And I did buy her a bike a few months back.

Thanks but no thanks Jeff I’d rather ride on my own!

I have no friends KõS and Black Bomber is my preferred truckle.

You taught me well.

No I bought it for extra attention Stu.

Lol, yes!

Its not light but most of that is the fork. With a carbon fork in there it’ll be much better. (I’m looking at getting a carbon fork but will probably leave it until the end of Jan as I want to ride it as is for now)
I’ve not bothered to weigh it as I’m not all that concerned about it as it rides fantastic.

Definites for next year are:
March Scotland
End of March Tour of Flanders Sportif
End of April SSEC France
End of May Belgian SS
Aug/Sep French/Swiss Alps for a week then onto Italian Alps for a week and a SS event in Italy at the end of the trip.
Dutch SS champs date to be confirmed
Wales without a doubt will be done as will the FOD and Cotswolds
Also need to get back into the Peaks with a few guys from on here.
And on the to do but no plans yet are: Snowdon, SDW, Mendips amoungst a few.

Discs, yada yada yada……….
Bars, agreed has to have proper bars not some uber niche crap, theres already a couple of bikes in the shed with weird bars on!

Today 1st ride on my new CX bike
Monday probably the FOD on SS
Tuesday Cotswolds local loop on the CX

Bet those heavy wheels help.

They’re round and wouldn’t go far without them mate!!

Can someone please pass the eye bleach.

Spares from either Sideways Cycles or from Simpson Cycle Services (07986 411 810) Craig Simpson used to work for Extra when they imported Maverick and now holds a good amount of stock. Service is fantastic and prices are reasonable too, I use him anytime I need anything for any of my 3 sets of Maverick forks.

I like them because they’re easily serviced at home, tunable and they work well. I do think the Duc’s are ugly though.

It exists I tell the ;-)

Jeff wasn’t invited yesterday mate as it was KõS’s birthday invitational ;-)

Yup a few of us will be heading down to SSEC in April, looking forward to it!

My pleasure Stu, bring something a little more suitable next time and I’ll show you some more! With Gaps

Sorry Goz, not my cuppa either but photoshoot for Spesh and Oakley.
Rainbow, cheers. Some taken with Canon 400d and some with 30d.

That was sunrise. Qwerty, sure will but prob be late Jan early feb.

Oh and KõS was there but no pics :-(

Dan rode a Singular, he’s not aloud to ride that Speshialneeds tat with us :-)

Neil, email me (in profile) and I’ll sort it!

Why not use the real thing?

In the winter it tends to go a bit too hard and the hub slips, its the same lube for the bearings which I wouldn’t consider using anything else on (The hubs I’m talking about as I use Rock n Roll White sticky stuff on the BB bearings). As long as you make sure its lubed up when you’re riding you won’t go far wrong with most chain lubes although they can go dry after a wee while which will wear out your ring…….. and that’s never a pleasant experience

In the winter I use wet lube or suspension oil 7.5wt. It must be changed/topped up from time to time though.

Alright keep your hair on, I wasn’t being pedantic or anything just confused me as SSWC 2011 was in Ireland.

You mean SSCXWC?

Yeah, email in profile. Busy diary coming up so best to sort something out on email?

Cwm carn and Afan runs would be more technical than FOD

Lol, you don’t know where to ride in the FOD then ;-)

There’s nothing much technical in the Cotswolds

Don’t own one yet :-) They have been on my ‘hit’ list for a while now and I may be getting something nice made by someone next year if I don’t give into my Jones yearnings.
My friend in Germany has one, I know she loves it. You may have seen her on it at SSWC in Ireland?
