Awesome, got a matching front ordered now! Will run a bit lower pressure too…. As I’m not a great biffer!

^^^ what he said!!

Chris meads photography for the photo’s… there is evidence of the bale jump too!

^^
scale 740/710 = 650b

Google it!

+1 for the scale 920, just got one myself… its awesome!

im running a 90 mm on my 26er, the new ones a 70 I think!

the syncros bars have a back sweep to them as well which the truvativ noirs on my 26er doesn’t have! I may trim them to 680 and see how I get on! I suppose its about getting used to it?

I’ve been running basic wire bead cx pro’s on mavic aksium rims for about 6 months issue/burp free! Run em at 35 psi, they are a good tyre I think!

Used a compressor to inflate them initially onto the rim!

I’m all over it! :D

Reckon it’ll be as muddy as Decembers tod cross!

Anyone?

Guys – Sorry for the late reply…

I definately still want an entry for this!

email is v12jatATaolDOTcom

Cheers!

I am doing it!

Some nice cx bikes on here!! Here’s mine,

Ride quality is awesome with the tufo tubs! Probably will replace with something with discs later int year

Anyone?

****, and now to unpack the car.
Also to try for a refund as I’m away on the 21st April.

Yup, me too!I’m assuming a refund won’t be an issue??

I had the bike on my stand, literally just moved pistons back, and put new pads in, didnt do nowt with the pad contact adjustment as i find it doesnt do much anyway! When i pressed the lever after this it just goes pretty much all the way to the bar. brakes work, but full lever travel is used as opposed to before when it was a light press, and full power…

Bloody avids….. :lol:

I’ll try an elastic band on the lever, failing that i’ll have it bled!

roadie / a380 content, sorry!!!!

Get one, you wont regret it! Mine gets ridden more than my road/MTB’s, primary bike for training etc…

Will be upgrading it later this year, a dirty disco will be the next bike i’m going to get!

I’m in… Seniors round 1.. if the tod cross seniors category was anything to go by it’ll be tough!

Lets concentrate on what a great event it was. Bollocks to the haterz, feel the love. HtN 4 Eva. Or something

+1 cheers to the organisers for making it a great event, as per usual!

Looking forward to seeing the results!

James

V12 that is sweet…..I can’t believe it’s not yours anymore…doh!

ha ha! i know, but got offered a very generous price so couldnt refuse!!! :roll:

i may get another at some point maybe one thats a tiny bit bigger too!

I spent a small fortune building a pace RC200 F3 – a bike i’d always wanted to own BITD. Middleburn cranks, Hope hubs, Pace forks/bars etc.. a real nice bike. only issue was iwas worried about the frame cracking or something like that happening, i only rode it about 3 times so it was sat there in the garage gathering dust! Got rid in the end, but part of me wishes i’d kept hold!

looks great , the forks are smart!

+1 for the x0 shifters, i run them on my race bike!!!

6 of us did this in 2009, went over hartside summit, whinlatter, rookhope on to sunderland etc.. stayed in the bunkhouse which after 6 pints of guinness in the rookhope inn wasnt too bad!

the woman who owns it is definately not all there…

good crack if theres a few of you!

Pull up chair…. :roll:

anyone used the high5 extreme powder?

I know its got caffeine in, so anyone experienced bad guts with it? :?:

i usually stick a full sachet in a 750ml bottle. sometimes i’ll finish it if its a longer ride, if its a relatively shorter ride but loads of hard climbing etc, i’ll not get through a full one.

gonna definately try torq i have heard good reports, maybe the zipvit caffeine gel for racing!

It’s not a picolax thread honest!

I am definately getting some torq instead of sis!

They are cheap, but for what you save you lose outon customer service. They were awful to deal with when trying to sort a corsa out they had sold my dad.. Lost logbook etc… Absolute nightmare to deal with!

I sell minis for a living, have done for 10 years, we get paid on customer satisfaction etc.. But it works cos people always come back if they get looked after IME

I saw ed Oxley on a fat bike but must have missed the guy racing!

Yeah it was!! Nearly ground to a halt on the start/finish stretch… Of all the places!! :roll:

how did everyone do? It was seriously hard in that mud, literally drainig the energy from me poor legs!

probably finished towards the back of my race, but i finished so that’ll do for me!!!!!

Grimy- that’s pretty nice, I’m considering one for next season. Have got a sensa road bike too, awesome VFM!!!!

+1 for the sensa! Saw one in Merlin the other week, the fermo.

Had internal cabling etc… A bit different too!

I don’t work for them honest…..

do they do any rides from ride on? think they used to years ago anyway? might be worth givin em a bell! also check out rossendale road clubs website im not 100 percent if they do anything mtb related, but some RRC lads race xc and cross when i have!!

james

my first time on this one too, cobbles look like theyre gonna be pretty slippy! i usually race senior in the NWCCA races, so going for the full hour! Hoping a mech hanger wont snap on me again though…….

Ahh I had no idea about that!! I could stick a 9sp XTR shadow on now worries Then?????

Cheers, might stick it on tomorrow…

I’m using all 10 speed bits….

FWIW I’m running mk2 with wire beads on both my MTB’s Tubeless with stans fluid and found them very easy to seat and inflate using a compressor, run em at 30psi with plenty of grippage!!

Had this problem on Saturday at the csp cx in clitheroe, got to the top of the hill on lap one, remounted and it snapped, I was fuming!

Im on a run of bad luck at the minute with another one a few weeks ago at Bolton!

Tried spraying silicone dashboard shine all over the drivetrain which worked on wetter courses. However the leaves and grass still get stuck in there, so having a spare bikes the way to go!

I did it yesterday, for the second year. This time I really enjoyed it!
Was talking to some sound people on the way round which helps!

Have the results been put online?!
