“I wonder how road bike disc brakes would cope with those descents?”

“I was surprised at how many people were using deep section carbon rims fro the event TBH more of a hindrance IMO on this type of terrane”

Very happy I have to say running 80mm carbon rims. Managed 50 mph on kirkstone but then they are laced up to some DT Centerlock hubs and have some BB7s doing the slowing down thing on shimano XT rotors :-)

Soup pan and bean pan never washed just topped up though we did have an policey if you needed a plate you washed it. Came back one day to find the whole wall in the living room covered in pron good for the Mum Ill show you the house i am jointly renting with the lads they are top mates realy….

Dinner, Hestons place in London one of the best meals I have ever had and I do eat out a lot…. Oh my brother was paying so it was even better.

Lent my chain tool to another racer at a Kentmear NEMBA said he would get it back to me at the finish I was dressed in full Orange kit and so was the transport… Yup never got it back. Stopped and given tubes out fixed bikes it will come round one day.

The Lounge Penrith well cheap and good food think Cumbrian Tapas if such a thing exists, never bothered about my kids throwing food everywhere…… ( 3 and 6 years old)

Arragon Cycles Penrith Cumbria are fantastic good shop with lots of positive promotion of the sport in the local area.

At my current rate of spending to mileage about seven million pounds a week, give or take.

Just keep getting them she knew what she was hooking up with at the start……..

Winder Halll or Seatoller house

So so sorry to hear this,thoughts going out to to you. Have two kids myself, hug your family tightly.

Phil Wood’s easy to service and look fab but heavy, love my hope’s but love my DT 240s as well,easy servicing and go forever. Hope Ti Glides from 2002 sill going strong just competed their 4th 3 Peaks.
Kings just look to much hassle to look after but never having owned a set cant comment on real world use.
Bearing change on the Phil Woods is just as easy as a Hope.

Phil Wood lovely……..

Got a Merlin XLM in 96 as a bike for life three years later replaced with a Orange Sub 5 that’s gone to ( Fisher Rosscoe currently no doubt replaced with a 29er full suz)
The only bike I kept hold of is the Dave Yates from 91 in 531c, did 65 miles yesterday on it.
A contender certainly. Salsa Fargo, Steel crosser with disks something like that would be on the list.

Ciclo everytime you don’t need to know any other oh the pool has been upgraded to nice and warm

Can’t say formula 1 and loves coming up on cyclist’s in electric cars and sounding the horn ……

CoOp soap flakes on all my outdoor stuff and in the washing machine its bubble tastic! Then nicwax and a tumble dry,the system has worked perfectly for years, just debating the P.V.A thing going to have to give it a try on a old jacket or something and wait till the wife is out as she will freak out if she sees me tipping P.V.A in the washing machine!!

A mile on Tarmac here and then the whole North Lakes on the door step so I never drive, Ullswater shore is very easy to get to.
