pieman - drop me a PM with your mobile number then I can at least remove the random nature of this forum's private message system. In any case, planning "morning" but flexible as it's a day off

Some guys want to come up from Brighton on Saturday for a SH marathon. Not sure I can make it, but I'm probably the worst person to find my way anyway. Anyone up for a Saturday ride?

Also there's the STW Spring Sexy ride or some such nonsense on Sunday. I think ATZ was planning to come. Anyone else?

Saw the thing from the Brighton guys but not sure I can make it either Saturday. Currently I'm aiming to sleep the whole day the way things are going, but anyway I need to fix the gears on the bike, assuming the BB can still cope in its current state. Though eyeing reviews for a new bike. Almost came back with a bargain Trek from the states until I realised how much it costs to get it back.

Would rather a SH run Sunday. Not sure about a mass Swinley thing. Sounds a bit weird and the place will be packed probably.

Still, will see as usual closer to the weekend.

Might have a friend with a Reign X for sale soon. Big bouncy bike.

Not sure I trust the bike enough for SH, and I'm lucky to be able to go to Swinley, so we're definitely heading there.

I may well be up for a ride Sunday if anyone is up for it. Sat is no good for me as coming off a night,obviously sh not swinley.
Maybe do winterfold and pitch but if weather is still good I may go for a big ride and do ranmore then pitch winterfold and either back or over leith. If anyone wants jumps etc for new skills I certainly know some areas that might help .

What's up with the Enduro?

Forks are at Magura, an o ring or something apparently got lost somewhere inside them , so they weren't working 100%

Arrived back today. Pretty good service from Magura. (As long as they work)

Atz

Any more for Swinley tomorrow morning. Pieman and I on a big bouncy bike slow non-epic ride

Will77

What time you guys heading to Swinley tomorrow? Got a day off as well & slow & non-epic sounds right up my street.

Working tomorrow

Atz

Official meeting time is around 10:30 as pieman needs to pick up his bike. I'll probably be there a bit earlier though

@Cooldad - http://www.bikeradar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12765225 Sounds like what yours are doing.

cooldad

It does except mine aren't dual air. But as it doesn't seem to make any difference when riding I'm not getting too stressed at this point.

thel33ter

Neither are his. They're Toras. All air forks have a positive and negative chamber, or they wouldn't work. Only difference is your forks set it automatically, dual air forks have two valves.

Mine are solo air, but not noticed anything like that.

thel33ter

They only started doing it a while ago, it doesn't really seem to do anything, feels like a tiny little top out.

cooldad

Ah er um oh yeah. I see. Or not.

popstar

Solo air are sh1t, marzochi bombers rc3 ti iz future!

Atz

Someone give grandpa his tablets again and a glass of gin, he's woken up.

So who's where at the weekend, and what times?

Still looking like Sunday for me. Might be able to get out on a test run later Saturday afternoon when I've finished fiddling with the bike, though got other stuff I need to sort out. Assuming I don't sleep through the entire day.

Atz

Not me. Done my riding for the weekend today. Filthy but good fun with will and pieman.

Stan Leigh

Anybody out in SH tomorrow , Saturday ? :P

cooldad

Nope at this point still Swinley Sunday for the mass love in.

Atz

It's going to be a quagmire unless it dries fast. The usual hordes tomorrow will churn the puddles into filth as today it was muddy as hell but watery-muddy if you get what I mean.

Given there's probably 80 people signed up to go, it could be "interesting" with the state of the trails. Have fun tho

cooldad

Just for the hell of it more than a serious ride.

Atz

Fixed my brakes. Looked like the clip holding in the pads had bent as we thought. 10 mins with pliers and snips sorted that. Now need to order some more pads from disco or ssc as that set of pads is almost totally dead already.

Anyone else who has Formula brakes. Do you get some of those lock clips with each new set of pads?
