I lost a friend to Motor Neurons he had planned his funeral so his Parting song was Always Look on the bright side of life fair lightened the mood

My Mate had a 6 Estate said even tho it was a Diesel it wasn’t good on Fuel

Balbirnie house is really nice & on Itison £99 B&B , Also Dakota at South Queensferry there are nice Pubs & restaurants In South Queensferry as well As looking onto Forth Bridges Queensferry Crossing or Try Booking.com for Perth

IV been Tubeless on the road Bike the last 2 Summers , Carbon Roval Rims With 1 wrap of Tubeless tape with Schwalbe Ones, our roads are pretty poor used to run tubes at 100psi dropped to 80 Tubeless bike much comfier well impressed

I may know someone with Hope Hubs & Pacenti Rims For Sale 😄

Lost a mate to Motor Neurons Disease a few years ago ,He kept his sense of humour till near the end 😢Hence he planned his Service with a Humourist, likewise the Curtain went down to Always Look on the Bright side of life 😂

DId it this year 2 laps without spikes & a few crashes managed to borrow a pair of spikes thankfully

Why not buy a Motorbike instead 🙊

Used Gold car in Venice Last year had to give them 1400euro deposit against Damage ,be very careful have a close look over the car as we had a well used Fiat 500 & it had lots of marks damage they had omitted from there check sheet could’ve lost our deposit very easily also if u book it before you go pay the extra to cover yourself but Goldcar still tried to get us to pay an xs waiver as well

Always thought about going tubeless on the Road bike ,I was needing tyres this year so took the leap, Got Roval CarbonRims & Schwalbe Pro ones the roads I use are S**t but I used to run the tubes at around 100psi I dropped the pro ones to 80 psi bike feels faster & much comfier & touch wood no punctures I always carry a tube pump etc ,

I run a smart trainer with Swift using Apple TV onto an old tv I had. Works perfectly but need to watch as earlier apple Tv didn’t work I think 🤔

Do both at the same time & keep your better tyre incase u ever need it 🤣I recently did my Tarmac Tubeless with the Scwalbe 1 kit dropped 20psi on usual tubed set up bike feels Quicker Much comfier & definitely handles better , I did 1 wrap of stans tape & Scwalbe supply a Bead lubricant weird the tyres never even popped onto rim ( i was kinda worried 1st ride 😢 ) but absolutely chuffed to bits with them

& the Ratchet Ring can be replaced but has to go back to Hope u have to be very unlucky to. Strip one

My mate had a Pro4 fail recently I was really shocked as my Pro2 has done much more running 😅Luckily it happened the Wednesday before we were doing the West Highland Way on the Sunday I phoned Hope when mines went & they sent out new Springs F.O.C. Hopes are great 😘

Did mines online just over a week from start to finish , just make sure the picture meets all the Criteria ,I couldn’t believe how easy it was 😀Later this year the price is going up £3 if you do it online & £12 if you do it postal

Used them twice recently & click & collect has been fantastic. No issues at all

We have aPeugeot partner Van 2012 with 50,000 miles 92bhp touch wood been really good

I use a saris bar in my van you can buy the mounts separately & they come to suit quick release mounts I just put a q/r skewer thou instead of the supplied bolt !! Holds the bikes Solid http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/saris-replacement-track-system-trap/rp-prod39590

My Zaskar LE from year 2000 Xtr Drivetrain was a great bike, so many great times on that bike

I had it done just with throat spray was ok a bit uncomfortable but far better than getting put under

I recently got a set of crest rims built onto pro4 hubs nice light & the free hub isn’t as clicky or loud as the pro2s

I’ve got a new shape Berlingo have a half height bulkhead I get a bike up each side with the front wheels turned into rest on the bulkhead ,I’ve had 5 29ers in with the front wheels removed & in cardboard bike boxes we use it as our car 1.6 hdi ave 45mpg even on short runs

Brilliant

I’ve got a year 2000 Zaskar LE hiding up the attic same as the Blue & yellow Team in the Pics further up but has black SIDS on it all Xtr was £2700 in 2000

Not many of the people I regularly go out with ,another Local group do & have heard reports of them going for segments & yelling at walkers to get out the way

We have 2border Terriers yes they are Headstrong , great dogs around the house have never chewed anything , most people I know who have Labs say they have had various things chewed ,really good with Kids as well & really good running with the Bike

No problem running Shimano Sram Mix i usually buy XT Cassette find they last longer than Sram also KMC chain better & Stronger than Sram IMO

My Mate just got 1 from je james Tiagra Kit £1250 reduced to £800

yes iv had them for ages & have found a set of clamps for one carrier & one clamp for the other so missing 2 clamps plus the 3 bolts 🙁

I’m on my 2nd pair of Northwave got 4 winters out of the 1st pair laces are a nuisance , as MSP says as long as you wear waterproofs over the top of the Cuffs then you’ll have dry feet 😀

I had the same problem with a Rockhopper ,Mech Hanger Bolt was slack cured it right away 😳

Hi Chris not missing the epic on the trail, did 58 miles on it today soaks up the bumps well , iv still got my Epic but not sure if i’ll use it very much, my first run on the Stumpy was thru rooty muddy forest & it felt great straight away well chuffed with it 😆

I’v got a Stumpy Expert lovely bike climbs really well, light & good kit its a medium saw a claimed 23lb for a Large ?? havent weighed mines yet , iv got a 26er Epic but decided to go Hardtail again 😀

i bought a 2010 Epic with Elixirs on it , changed to XT about 18months ago, Far better 😀

i may have enough as do 2 carriers brand new in bags ? How much are they worth ?

Got 2 Hope stainless steel B/B’s never had any problem ,take them apart now & Again & regrease over 2 years on Original Bearings & Lots of miles

I Meant one from Park Tools or Pedro’s etc or this one from Giant http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-GB/partsaccessories/product/tool.shed.torque.wrench/1385/30885/
