Its FANTASTIC! Sorry just a little excited by it! he he! Went really well today, really pleased with it. You'll have to get out with us all soon
How did climbing go? I was up at leeds wall on wednesday! Way taller than rock city, but absolutely packed full of people. Managed to do a couple of 5's!! Whoop!
Thanks biggus for my debut biking video on f/b!! ha ha!

cheers mate
the first downhill mate is easy to find....when you get near the bottom its a bit boggy,so be carefull,you will see the signs for the bridleway as well,you drop down a field then go back through the wall.... head towards bottom right hand corner of field and you will cross a bridge,then just follow it down to the road......2nd uphill is a killer......the 2nd downhill was hard for us to find,we actually went past it,but it brought a huge grin to our faces as its technical near the top/middle then fast flowing at bottom...and the rest you rode last week through forest and the final 2 ups/downs,then trek across top and final downhill......
giggsmaster is on about doing the ride with me thursday/friday depending on work 0 -

It was good. There are a few new climbs again. They've done a bit of a rotation. I went this afternoon. Some good routes on the self belays on the back wall - tho a killer orange route.
I'll be out in two weeks def. Got poker with the boys this weekend lol0 -

Hey man, finally posted!!!
Looks like my bikes out of it until i can get a new mech hanger, it must have been the last bail on the 2nd to last DH (the one we couldn't find)...
Edit: waiting for an email from evans, bike should be ridable within days 0 -
I am always up for a Dalby night ride. Nearly got my home made 660lumen light system working. Each light is 24mm across and churns out 220lumens. Should get 3 hours of life through the micro pucks I am using....
Might consider making more if people were interested?0 -

I'm still not sure whats happening on Saturday now to be honest, if you guys want to plan something else instead thats fine Otherwise if we get anything sorted i'll let you know.
I'd be up for a night ride one time, only problem I need some decent lights!
Dave > Hope you get your bike sorted! Its so annoying when something needs fixing, you could take my route and just buy a new bike instead!
Gareth > Hello and welcome! As Altern has said, i'm sure Dave has filled you in about us lot and our rides
AJay > I'm hitting RC tonight, can't wait!! he he! I'll have to have a look out for that orange route. What grade was it?delightfully dangerous!0 -

no i did the one i did with you and your kid i didn't have a lot of time so stuck to one i knew
still can't do the incline
my mate went over his bars on the very rocky d/h bit0 -
Haha i don't think that's a viable option Danielle, even though i would like to... should swap mine for a tank 0

Or maybe a couple of Joint strikes haha. shame ive got the big gus isnt it :P (if everything goes to plan obviously :P).
Danniell & Altern_8 -> Yeah, dave has mentioned of your trips up to the moors and stuff and tbh i wouldn't mind going once ive made a few slight mods to the bike cause it is a hardtail and i dont want to break it yet! :P
Thansk for the welcome too btw!0 -
It's on the back wall (left as you walk through the door) with the 3 self belays. There's a green on there too which is a pain. All good fun!0
-
if anyone is interested.....3 choices of rides for saturday>
1st the other ride on moors which will mean a bit of map reading,as we aint dont it....
2nd try to do the ride in peaks that we had to cut short....
and the 3rd one is walna scar road in lakes...this would mean setting off at 6am in the morning and its a 3 and half hour journey.....and prob wouldnt get back to hull till about 7-8pm on the night.........
if i get chance ill post routes of the rides 2mor if i can find time to do them.......0 -
lol Gaz, Tank = hefty bike not a Typhoon or Harrier :P
And if my hanger comes in time and i've managed to sort it all out, count me in...
*cough* still waiting for pics quake :P... My brothers got a diving torch which i think he's forgotten about, tried some new batteries in it but it doesn't work so i'll have a look but if it does work that'll be a bloody good home-made front light, seeing as its designed to penetrate the murky UK waters0 -
Okay, opinions....160MM Forks + 24inch wheel up front. is that a good idea or is it just me?0

Haha i don't think that's a viable option Danielle, even though i would like to... should swap mine for a tank Very Happy
Yea its only the best option if you really want it I suppose!It's on the back wall (left as you walk through the door) with the 3 self belays. There's a green on there too which is a pain. All good fun!
Didn't get chance to have a go at any of the self belays, was working on lead belaying last night - lots of fun!f anyone is interested.....3 choices of rides for saturday>

Sounds good!! Still don't know what i'm doing on Saturday yet!! On Sunday i'm getting a tour of all the DH/trials around Leeds! I'm hoping I come back in one piece! :?delightfully dangerous!0 -
What do you mean "I suppose" haha... its the way forward :P
And Gaz as i say look in the frame manual, i think it would invalidate the warranty on the frame... either way ask on the general forum, you'll get a better response there as more ppl will see it... and 160mm forks with 24" wheels imo will look daft as! lol0 -

Like Biggus says. might be a good idea to ask on the Workshop Forum. I've been toying with the idea of changing my 100mm to 130mm but keep getting different opinions.0 -
