ok, i seem to be on my own here …….

but so was the first guy that said the world was round!

wrong analogy re: cars, yada yada yada. Who cares?

The fantastic thing is we all have our opinions, and in mine, if i won the lottery i wouldnt buy a trek.! 😀

great news that you got them back !

AS a matter of interest what will you do differently now in terms of their security?

discussion of whats happening in the mtb world, with reviews etc.

Therer are a few like that in roadie world, but suprisingly none for mtbers

as a matter of interest were they locked up in the garage?

That's w**k really isn't it. 'Passion and soul' are just qualities you've projected onto a selection of metal tubes and various components. The passion and soul stuff's in you, not your bike.

Some people just dont get it…? 🙄

You telling me that an alfa is the same as a kia, you telling me that the alpha doest have a bit of soul, or take it to the extreme, what about a ferrari and a mondeo, i know which car has more passion. Sure the driver/rider brings his own personality to the ride.

But the bike/car definitely has differing degrees of passion,soul and dare i say it a personality. This trait then brings it out of the driver.

Drive a high end car down a high street or bike down a trail and see how your personality changes, how you feel like a million bucks, and then tell me that a car/bike doesn't engender different emotion in you.

Perhaps you have never ridden said bike, or perhaps you wouldn't know even if you did.

any at all?

got me one of these

Dude you need to set your eyes higher than a trek ! 😯

Admittedly nice bike but there are so many boutique brands out there that have passion and soul are not mass produced

looked at the rules and see nowt about age limits.

My 12 year old wants to do it with me ?

Will he be allowed?

Did someone say Flatcoats?

Heres "Charlie" who loves going biking with me.

can someone direct me to the feature, which issue was it in

Great skills, how old is your boy.

Me and my 12 year old son always go out together, best quality time ever!

just seen it in 3d (also seen it in 2d)

Def see the 3d version, totally immersive

yeah the ground was like concrete, ended up making wooden structures instead

so should i jump with pro pedal on? (ie locked out at the back)

Off to see it again today with the family in 3D

Lets all Laugh at Roadies

Lets not !

Is it easier to do jumps on a FS bike or a HT ?

12a I would take my 12 year old son but think it would be too much for my 10 year old daughter

Feel the need to speak up here.

For the record I believe that the bible IS the word of God.

Yes (sigh) born again christains also ride mountain bikes!

Warehouse express all the way !

Welsh slang?

Junkyard – google can answer all questions on this forum. STW would be defunct.

What it can't do is encourage good old fashioned debate.

I prefer STW for that.

noo they wear down to quickly

I actually like one tacky (usually on the front) 😀

fox 40mm (160) talas??

Yeah, they are brand new, the stanchions are 160mm, with 40 mm travel, they rock!

Ok ok, its late, you know what i mean. 😳

I am going to bed 🙁

ok fair enough, i may have got confused 😳

[quoteso if anybody else fancies spending a few hours messing about in the woods with a bunch of like-minded people off an internet forum, you'd be more than welcome. [/quote]

How do we get involved, would love to help

Gisburn is my "local;" (45 mins away)

so whats the best shifters i can use on a 7 or 8 speed, she really has an issue changing gear, her fingers are not strong enough?

I went for fox 40 160mm talas. Was in the same position and after lots of searching decided on the 160 s

Seems the best option really as they can be dialled down for climbing but used in full 160mm glory for the fun stuff

Looking at you tube it looks like there are a lot of 3 and 4 foot drops at AE

Are there escape routes next to these drop offs ?

They are a bit too big for me and my lad (blushes)

coo,bike dude !

There not what you'd call good looking bikes though.

😯

forks are fine………Where's your pic Mr Yeti Guy
One should not assume that because i have named myself yeti guy, that i have a yeti

I am an aspiring yeti owner.

In fact i am picking it up today,(575) but its a Chrsitmas present so will be locked away until Santa gives it to me on Christmas day.

Pics will be provided before the turkey, i promise

Picked it up today, cant wait to ride i on Christmas day

For now though, been locked away

Go on then.

Might not be as pretty, but 19 and-a-bit pounds.

Are your forks the wrong way round

Hi justme

Would be grateful for the mags. Can't see your email in sig

Can poss pick up today

Kev

To the "tribe members" on here. Who apparently visited the yetifan site once or twice.

Is that like saying "I have done pot, but didn't inhale"

Have any of you got a yetifan sticker on your bikes?

Oh and I think there is a serious opportunity for some IT guy to create an "orangefan site"

Orange owners belong to a cult.

Yeti owners belong to a tribe

Its all just brand loyalty. And no I have not YET been to a tribe gathering

All the best dude !

what will be interesting would be to get everyones salary, and see what the average income is !
