"fair weather rider",you know i love the rain and wind :roll: .......aint got a clue when ill be out again,as i still aint been able to order some pads yet.0
-
I was thinking maybe a local ride on Sunday if the weather is alright our kid, you could use the Foxy if you clean it.....
What do you reckon then Barkey? Local ride, if no rain?0 -

stu, i would look to superstar for pads as all our suppliers have sent fibrax (who make pretty much all pads) packing, due to them selling to customers direct. i have had to order a few from them this week.
i should be out and about in a couple of weeks, the new build is just about ready, just need to build the wheels when the hub arrives and finish the graphics.......0 -
its still in mock up build......

cheers stu,ive had a look at superstar,just aint got any spare cash at mo to buy any....and as for fibrax,i think they are doing a promotion at mo with there pads,as they where giving them away free in last months mbr.
the new build is looking good,think id of gone for red brake/gear cables to match the lock rings tho :roll:0 -
does anyone know of any good rides around north cave ?0
-
The only places I know are around Welton/Brantingham/Raywell area. I posted a link to the route a few pages back I think.
The route ain't so good though. We were up there on Sunday and it was hard going, boggy in sections, not worth it at the mo.
Going to look at further a field at the weekend, hopefully find some trails that are rideable....

Good to see you ain't lost faith in us just yet....
We ain't done much recently, so not missed out on our usual epics of losing the trails through dodgy map reading....bobs bikes wrote:im off for a leg stretcher to hornsea tomorrow if anyone fancies a run out. leaving the shop at 10am ish......
Alright for some with a week day off... By the way, the bike is looking good, what do you reckon with some nice red brake hoses...?0 -
well doesnt look as if im going to be out for a while,went to pick daughter up from school today on my scott.
bike was making loads of noise,so i put it down to the old "BB" ive put back in,anyway.......back of bike felt as tho rear wheel was loose,got home and it looks as tho its my rear hub(and thats where the noise has been coming from,not the " BB").
so not sure at mo till i have a good look if i need a new hub or not

Your bloody joking aren't you, have you seen the weather forecast. Don't fancy another Pateley Bridge, do you....?
Think I have turned into fair weather rider, if it ain't as bad next week I'll be up for ride if you don't mind putting it off till it's bit better?0 -

well we decided on dalby so we didnt get wet with rain on moors,only to get covered in mud instead....started at visitors centre and made up our own route to dixons hollow,then followed red route back to start/fin......plenty of laughs,and falling off bikes,all in all,a fun day out.......0

Aye, I thought I would have been a bit achy this morning since we ain't been out for a while, but I was fine.
So, the weather doesn't look bad for the weekend ahead at the moment. I we going to plan a nice little ride for the Dales or Moors for Saturday?0 -

Hi,
I live in Leeds and all my mates are boring and don't have any desire to get in to mountain biking. Basically i have not been riding properly for over 10 years.
2 days ago i posted on the beginner forum that i have a late 90's hard tail GT Zaskar. In excellent condition. With it being hard tail and dated i was not sure if it is capable of doing any serious riding without being updated or even replaced.
I am a self employed joiner so i don't exactly have money coming out of my ears at the moment but i do know a lot of mtb shops do finance.
I am desperate to get a new hobby, and the gym bores the hell out of me. I'm 29 and need riding buddies especially someone with experience who can advise and point me in the right direction.
It would be great to hear from you both and get riding again.
Thanks0 -

Hi, like our kid says, if you ain't been out off road on your bike for a fair few years, it might be best if you had a couple of rides out to see if you enjoy it.That way, if you don't then you won't waste any money on a new bike.
The routes we do you can easily get round on a HT, just make sure them nuts and bolts are tightened up.... Though, to be fair, I'm sure once you get back into it you will be off to go buy a new bike
