Seems everywhere you look the new shimano brakes are getting good reviews, does anybody know if the discs are centre lock only as surely that would mean new hubs? Or can u get 6bolt/ adaptors?

Llangollen N Wales – Llandegla – 10min, Marin,CYB & Penmachno 40min, The Long Mynd and Cannock under an hr and more natural riding than u can shake a skewer at. Don’t think I’ll be moving anytime soon somehow! 🙂

I live 10min down the road and I do feel very lucky to have such good trails so close although I do get why some people slate the trails as its not the most technical riding to be found but they’re a right blast to hammer round full tilt and the new sections of black and red have had some really great wrk carried out in them, night rides in the winter, bbq’s in the summer, great cafe and shop – what’s not to like?!

Wow some of the trails in that Al Bond vid were my local 1’s, wicked seeing them on here and getting nailed ( not that I don’t try mind!) a great collection of vids on this thread

Seems a bit obvious now thinking about it! Thanks for the advice guys, it’s a yeti 575 btw

I try not to get involved in tiffs like this but Jesus I’ve never read such sanctimonious drivel!
Monkeyc, u choose not to drink, good for you, that’s your decision. Other people choose to drink, that has absolutely no bearing on the fact that they also like to ride bikes for enjoyment, I’m sure many Olympic athletes also ENJOY (that’s a key word right there) a drink now and again, would you compare them to ” doley heroin addicts”? Prob not I’d guess unless everyone on the planet who likes a few drinks have been “brainwashed”
I like a few beers when the mood takes me, whether that’s a Friday night after a hard week in work ( that’s right I actually EARN my beer money, don’t get in the dole que for it) or with a meal sat or any other night I choose. If I didnt feel like a drink I wouldn’t have one, simple. In fact I’ve just put the kettle on so I’ll just end by saying I like my electrolyte tabs in the camelbak when I’m riding (sober – sometimes!) and cherry/orange rock!

Nice1 Matt24k, I’ll see if the LBS has got anything suitable

Go via Llangollen and I’ll cook u 1 at mine for a lift on to CYB haha!

12 yrs difference, im 32 shes 44, been together 11 yrs and its never been an issue, she has 2 girls from prev marriage and I’ve never really wanted them so it just seems to work

Looking sweet that mate, got a steel hardtail itch that needs scratching myself!

Hmmm ok thanks4 the replies, seems like it ain’t gonna be a prob, 2 fit the ring, hopefully it should run with the ethirteen again device!
