I really enjoyed that, good close racing within a couple of teams. Glad Riccardo is sticking it to the jolly German too.

Keep looking at DH rigs and I've been offered a SantaCruz v10 with 888's for sensible money... Makes me quite glad there's deecent stuff out there at good money still.

Woke up with a rancid cold and sore throat, was gonna go Forest of Dean today too but feel absolute toss

Top stuff julien, I can remember reading your site for hours when I started! A great service still going strong.

Looking foward to the build Matt, there's a guy down the street with one of those and it's always looked good. Doesn't get mucky thou

Cleaning my bike at work and noticed my rear pro2 is actually a 40t! Nice surprise that

From memory the speedo issue can be resolved with a sat nav/gps device. Don't quote me on it thou..

I didn't even get on, just pushed on the saddle!

I've had this 2months now and still not bored of it went to the woods last night and found the shortest but pretty nice mini DH run to play on. I've dropped pressure from 280psi in the rear to 250/60psi and it rides beautifully. Before it felt nice but a tad stiff, now it's really floaty but kicks you along nicely. Oddly the little rubber band on the rear shocks only 2/3rds down the travel, before at a higher pressure I could nearly bottom it! Anyone using high rollers as a trail tyre? I'm reasonablehappy with the nobby nice but they have washed out a couple of times, at a lower pressure they're mega draggy thou. I'm set for a new rear tyre and I've always enjoyed the high rollers as a trials tyre, but never done any trail stuff with them. Open to suggestions too if anyone else is using good gear..

Suppose driveside makes the most sence to run with to reduce flex on the power side? If that makes sence. Looks awful either way. I really really dislike it to look at.

Just use single pack lacquer Duncan, that'll air dry no problem.

Try wearing pads/supports dude, I used to get horrible pains in my knee after a few hours riding but since I've started wearing pads I have no problem at all. Knees feel strong and powerful all day and don't ache at all afterwards.

The worst part is its just aslong to get halfway to work, puncture, then walk the rest then stop and repair it. I know what your getting at thou. Atleast I had a spare dozen tubes at work thou

Spent all weekend in Wales on a faultless bike, ride to work this morning and I get 2 punctures! Ffs.

Jolfa, get some paint on there, primers pourous so it'll just hold moisture. Then again it is a warm part so might not be too bad.

Just got back from doing both sections of the penmachno trail,absolutley epic, if anyone's in north Wales and fancys a good days trail (it's 19mile, but the veiws are epic so take a packed lunch and stop halfway around). Best trail I have ever been on!

At a house party once my mate needed a crap, so for some reason he wandered into the back garden, dropped trou and proceeded to squat. Unfortunately he hovered straight over his trousers and shat straight into them. Much hilarity ensued, then he just collapsed and fell asleep. He was found the next morning on the flower bed, with his trousers down, crap in there and soaking wet through after sleeping in the rain. What a mess.

Coming back from Coed y Brenin today back to the hotel and stumbled across the first leg of the UK DH championship at Antur stiniog ! Stood for an hour watching the Athertons, Peaty and some epic youth talent shredding. Saw some dude pull a f**king HUUUUUGE whip to which gave me a slight nudge on.

Defiantly be another soon, I'm tied up for the next few weekends thou

Defiantly, new helmet+evidence= crash. My missus bought a new helmet 2weeks ago on Saturday, first ride out on Sunday she went over the bars

Depressing what would've happened to your head without it thou.

Orange serviced and setup again, realised at cannock I can't actually manual this thing so I spent an hour in the street just trying and got them pretty set now! Looking forward to Wales this weekend! My hotels 100yards from the Marin Trail, 25 miles from coed y brenin and 10 miles from Gwydyr park, this is gonna be a sick weekend.

How long is that sodding gif?!

It does make them very noisy wears off quickly but equally annoying.

Anybody else use muc off? I started using it about 4-5 months ago given how wet and shitty our winters been and I really really like it. I don't use it after every ride but I use it once a week and I'm really impressed with it! I get some flack from folk for it but I can't see anything wrong with keeping it clean and well oiled. Interested to know if anyone else is using bike huts equivalent or anything else?
