Well Dave... Belive it or no it doesn't say in in manual
witch i think i fucking ridiculous. but i already know it'll run fine on 140s and my thinking behind the 24inch wheel was cause its 2 inches shorted it would lower the angle to something similar to the height or a 110 fork. (160mm - 50mm aka the 2inch in the 24inch wheel = 110mm).
oh and as far as that Bottle rocket.....i didn't check the price. i don't think i want too :P0 -
So, if anyone is up for a nice little trip to the Lakes with me and Altern on Saturday, then here is the route.
Dunnerdale Fells & Walna Scar
It isn't very long but we still think it could take 4hrs plus to do. The only bit we have rode is the last descent from the top of Walna Scar. We have actually rode up it then back down, it took us just under 2hrs to get up then 25mins to descend.
Here are some pics from our last rides on it.

May i take you back to Ajays post... Gee Atherton in Brazil... Theres plenty of steps in London, and you may even find it fun to use commuters and tourists as obstacles and jumps :P... That intense Slopestyle would be ideal

Hi all,
Like our kid said it was a good ride. Some nice rocky descents with a few free flowing ones thrown in. A strainful ride/push up Walna Scar, but then you know there is a great DH on the other side....
There is some good trails out there, shame its a good 3hrs or more drive away.

I think we might be doing a ride on Thursday, either in Peaks, Dales or Moors depending on where the better weather is going to be.
That goes for anyone else who might want to join us.0 -
Great pics there... looks a lot more fun than moving couches haha...
I'm up for thurs if i can scrounge some pet money from mum/gf0 -

Cheeky gits!!!
Looks like you had a great ride out, some super pictures
We finally decided where we were going on Saturday and went for a ride in the Peaks starting from Hope. Quite a lot of it was what we did but backwards! Very good ride, but very hard work, was with Matt his bro and cousin, they're all stupidly fit! Some of the DH's where a little bit technical too! A few hairy moments! Especially for those behind me
Yesterday we stayed locally round Leeds. Plan was to hit Adel Woods, Thackley and Staiburn (sp?), only managed Adel for an hour as I landed a jump my foot slipped off my pedal and gave me a nice deep gash on my shin. So it was off to A&E! Gave up on A&E it was going to be a four hour wait so got some steristrips and patched myself up! :P
I've now, consequently, purchased some knee and shin guards!
Would love to join you guys on Thursday, but i'm at work
delightfully dangerous!0 -
+1 on the shin guards... the first pay from raf = new shin guards!! maybe some mini corks for the pins on the pedals :P0
-
bro has just been round,weve got 2 rides sorted out for thursday....either cut gate in peaks which is suppose to have some good single track.....or tan hill on dales....like our kid said depends where the best weather is going to be
and hopefully if weather is good on sunday,prob look at doing the local ride for those who cant make it out on thursday with us 0 -
I'm at work thursday, I'll join up with you on the sunday for the local ride.

Oh if you haven't heard already Biggus is goning off to basic with the RAF soon so were having a night out Saturday if anyone wants to join?0
