glad you enjoyed it you'll have to try some more of Wales soon :wink:

good one welcome to the daddy club.

makes me melt everytime my girls tell me they love me and yes I know they can wrap me round their little fingers, but that's what dad's are for!!

Enjoy

ooo when did you find them???

we were up there the other evening maybe one of the lads I ride with

yes it's great, totally clear blue skies here in Wales, usually scores of vapour trails.

just wish I could get up top of the mountain to see the sunset going to be a cracker I'm thinking

frikken awesome idea I'd buy one if sub £100 for a bit of fun in the snow, be good for dragging the sledge back up the hill for the little ones plus good winter training when weather too bad to go up the mountains for real

found it[/url]

ta Tinners I'll have a look down there next week and see what they've got :wink:

olives, chorizo, black pudding super thinly sliced, jalepenos, few types of cheese – hubba hubba daddy's special pizza :P

mine took about 4 weeks as my work don't like paying anyone :wink:

loving my new C2W bike

Mines Nixon Wormshead honest :wink:

they're trying to get them fired up!!!

your right about 40 mins drive between coed y Brenin and Betws y Coed.

dragons back at Coed y Brenin is great, recommended

here you go

x clamps

bolts

tyre clearance is fine I have a 2.2 conti rubber queen on the back and there's room to spare and the conti seems bigger than a regular 2.2.

as for top tube I'm 6ft 2" and ride a large and it feels fine, my mate who's 6ft 5" rode it and commented how roomy it was, add a layback seatpost and there'll be tons of room fella

Jungle Formula to repel them pesky flying biting wastes of space called Midges – GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I hate them

got a cheap £19.99 trekmates one from TK Max this week for a bothie trip coming up in case it's full.

Guess it's not going to be the best but will get me out of the worst of the weather at a reasonable cost

get Penhydd in as it's closed as of Monday for tree felling!!

Have fun, you'll love it :mrgreen:

guess a good start is to tell us what you have now???

Mavic crossmax??

I like this idea, surely if a window was allowed to take into account mechanicals etc and was maybe text based I think it would work.

usually when you text back you will be home or lower level and have network coverage.

Then using the tracking above if you didn't reply in the given time a call to be made to a nominated number to cover any flat batteries etc and if no response or confirmation of "home safe" a alert to the relevant services would be made.

As was said if it saves one life it must be worth exploring the options,

SUFR

as and when you need some test dummies I'd gladly help you out :mrgreen:

I've used dailies for pasy 10 years, always wear clear lense glasses as my eyes stream with staring at the trails.

carry a couple for emergencies and have a tiny sample size bottle of saline in my first aid kit as an eye wash – belt and braces and all!!!

tesco have a good one for around £35 – has to be worth a punt – duck down

Really good thread, I do like dog pics, they always look happy :D

hoping to get a replacement for my Lab that I had to put down last year with a cocker spaniel in the next couple of weeks :wink:

Also have a Yorkie terrier that thinks it's a lab so hoping they'll get on!!

off to Nant in the morning then based in dogleg for 4 days so hoping for some breaks in the weather!!

maybe see you up there ahwiles :wink:

will be on a Zesty be polite if you see me I'll be at the back blowing out of my arse!!!

Got a 2.2 on the back of my Zesty no problem – it is huge though!!

not sure if a 2.4 would go on

In Brecon tonight was going to go but off to N. Wales in the morning :wink:

it's a all weather type trail however there will be muddy sections but that's part of the fun.

There's been and is a fair bit of trail maintenance going on at Afan maily during the week, they have been smoothing out ruts and stuff for the better.

Also plenty of trees to hide under when the rain hits big styleee!!

If you try any where in S.Wales it will be the same

If it's too much enjoy the cafe :wink:

Wales trail centre info[/url]

Nant yr Arian is worth the trek

check out this website for info

I use them a fair but for bits and bobs, check online price go in store and ask them to match the online price which they do without question, really nice stores and really friendly staff who really know there bikes.

huge range of stuff so I understand if they have some out of stocks as the are a ultimately still a bikeshop not a huge distribution supercentre of bike bits.

Maybe it's our demand for immediate supply nowadays that frustrates us waiting for stock.

I remember ordering a mavic paris-dakar wheelset from Dave Brooks bikes in Abergavenny in 1986 and having to wait 6 weeks for them, but they are brill and still going strong on my retro bike – well worth waiting sometimes :wink:

use joystick on my Giro Xen withno problems, as others say rotate the ball and socket part to get it to angle where you want – simples.

I leave mine on as it's a faff taking them on and off every other day.

i must admit the windnoise and whistling does piss me off

Hello from the valleys

where you from?

what you ride?

welcome to the STW forum

I enjoyed the 2 scoops of Hagen daz :wink:

have you thought of a Spaniel?? Spring/cocker

some say they are nuts but depends on training.

My family have had labs for past 20 years and they're brilliant, why do you think there are so many about?

Look as them as Spesh dogs – good but everyone has one.

Have friends who have German Shepards and they are lovely too, daft as brushes and great with kids – again down to training. Just remember they're big dogs.

Exercise 5 days a week??

What about the other 2??

phone holder

I use this and works well with a camelbak

short but sweet go Miles

lol

j.anstee

if you want to sell the Conti Mountain Kings (Tubeless) let me have first dibs :wink:

Ok Edric 64 like I was going to bite Grrrrrrrrrr

I have never worried about it before but my daughter keeps nagging me to be safe when I ride, so as they're made for a reason might as well use them :wink:

cheers Leku cheapest I'd found so far was £54 :wink:

Edric 64

I have never had them before but as original thread just want some "insurance" for a 4 day trip to N. Wales.

I have recently been scuffing my knees and think it's time to pad up a tad

one question did you ask them to mask it off???

they probably didn't realise.

Just take your time reaming the threads out and your steed will be back as good as new.

Keep the faith

cheers for the link barca2.

really good price for delivered too!!

really tempted
