Strange why Edinburgh never made it on to that list?

Thanks for the replies, I thought it would be ok but just wanted to confirm incase anyone had any issues.

In work just now but that's so I can take tomorrow off and go biking with mates.

they are 2.5" on a 19mm rim, wanna check they dont squirm too much.

I run a Minion 2.5 UST on the front with no issues if that helps.

Chuck some sealant in, I find Caffe Latex really good.

They are pretty much unridden, thinking about it more I've probably damaged something on the downhill track as I was never aware of the fork feeling strange until I had a spin round GT on wednesday and the first thing that happened was when dropping off a log the fork made a horrendous topping out noise when I lifted the front end and the rebound adjuster pinged off the bottom.

I was planning on gettng the mechanic at the LBS to fettle with them anyway.

Cheers IA, I'm a mechanical incompetent so it's LBS time.

I think it may be the oil weight, the guy was a good bit heavier than me so that could explain it. On the fastest setting the fork "tops out"

The first ride I had on it was at the Fort WIlliam DH track and had a couple of offs so there is always the issue that I damaged it..

The Ragley looks great, is that a 16" frame?

Press release about biking[/url] the new owners also have plans to make a red route in a similar idea to the Nevis Range red route.

It's already been asked and the vote was against it

early election on the back of a jingo-istic feegood factor……

The Yanks might invade us for the oil

Here is what happens in Glasgow…

Votes per seat

Conservative – 34,756
Labour – 33,301
LibDem – 124,182

Democracy in action….

In my own constituency Labour got 51.6% of the vote so my vote was utterly worthless.

iain1775 – the op asked for thoughts, not personal insults to be aimed at those people offering advice.

cheers for that, I've got the OS Explorer map of the area and looking at it made me think of doing a similar route as to what you posted.

Thanks – going to give it a go this weekend so hopefully that's not an issue.

are you pumping the tyre up to a high (55psi) pressure first?

You should hear the bead "pop" as you pump it up.

Nice pics, how long to get to the top?

I have the Thule 9503 it's pretty basic but it's good value and does the job well. It fits in the boot no problem when not in use (I have a 2000 mondeo hatch).

fair point, no offense meant!

Of course that is just my opinion.

Formed by what, religion?

+ matt_outandabout – that's impressive!

How much for? I'm looking to go the other way and get the firm spring.

Standard (red) spring is 72-82kg

Soft (yellow) spring is 63-72kg

Extra soft (white) spring <63kg

I've had one for about 6 months now, bomb proof thus far. Also handy that you can store your helmet in the front webbing type pouch if you are about to go on a long climb. Can't say I notice the weight.

new bearings needed?

Just wear some Howies gear and you'll fit right in

You can try a shim , using an old inner tube may not be the best idea..

what is this "purse swinging" you mention?

Oldgit – 100% English pilots also?

i want Nick Griffin's wonky eye staring up my jacksy

Quote of the week!

I like how you use fighter planes as an example of "englishness" – are they not British??

Didn't Brown just say six thousand million? How much?

Yep, that's what 6 billion is.

Clegg still good, Brown a bit better. Cameron still floundering.

I though the title was a reference to Thatcher being rolled out for the election.

Robust?

This one has lived in my backpack for a good few years and still going strong.

Nixon Nissi

Oh, and invade Switzerland

Why not write an article about it for the mag? I bet no one has ever done that before…
