    dude, north shore + snow? hardcore!
  • yeah was a good day out, sorry for the delays with the ghetto spikes dan, i'll have to work on those. my left foot was a lump of ice by the time i got back after it's dunkin in that puddle!
  • No worries, I'll be bedding in my new pikes next time, they are actually mint, never been fitted to a bike or ridden since they were made in 2007!

    Do you think they'll be ok? I know they'll take a bit to start working optimally.

    Were you out today Tom?, I thought I saw you on a Trek going from the A10 to the Stanstead Abbots roundabout, with another guy on a bike too.
  • that was me; well the other guy was on the trek and i was on my marin again (minus spikes today) we were on our way home :)

    the pikes should be fine as long as they have plenty of oil and grease in them. they'll take a few rides to bed in properly, but it shouldn't hold you back much.

    Moodster, those DIY spikes are amazing, why didn't I think of that!
    And Jedi that north shore is incredible, and bloody high in places!
    Hoping to get out on some rides soonish

    sunday hopefully...just got a new rear spring so want try it out
  • I can't go until next Sunday, cause of work
  • How'd the spring go dagzin? What did you get?

    I'm toying with the idea of getting a Cane Creek Double Barrel for mine, but I think it might be a bit overkill!

    te]

    i just got a fox spring a 500 instead of a 550 which came with the bike,havent done anything yet going to chicksands next fri so i find out then :D

    as for the cane creek go for it as it the best out there

    as for friday i aint around but, im about this weekend if anyones around :) [/quote]
  • Anyone been over there, is it really muddy. Need some new tyres before I head back over there.

  • Dagzin,

    I've just checked, and I'm working next friday otherwise I would've come with you.

    I'm looking at going on 04/02/10 to chicksands to see how the 4X handles, get a better idea of what I think is lacking then I'm gonna read more reviews and comments from the internet and decide what Shock is best for me and the bike.

    I'm thinking about getting a Pushed Van R and pushing my RP3 and then swapping the shock over depending on where and what I'm gonna ride.

    I do reeaaaalllllly like the CCDB though and it'd look so cool when I get my frame re-anodised.

    handjobdan,

    no worrys there be another time,the 4x is good, but i like the duel 4x better,but then thats just me...but yr have fun no matter what lol

    the ccdb IS nice but its alot,but thats what you get,would love see ya frame anodised that look cool, or a dhx air?

    i like the dual course too. just fun
  • I prefer the dual cross as well, I just want to see the how my Blur 4X handles on the track, so I can see if I need another shock or not.

    The DHX air is supposed to be a bit of a dog from what I've read, I think I need to try and get a leg over some bikes with VPP suspension with a CCDB on it and a pushed Van R.

    Know anyone?

    :wink:
  • Anyone out this weekend?

    Dagzin how'd the Chicksands trip go? Are the tracks ok after the snow?
