just been down LBS had damn circlip and washer missing of my sram xo rear mech, new that damn stone hit somit gggrrr. cant get spare parts so need to aort something out as if i loose the pin im screwed thats a new rear mech

Jamie "bicycle doctor" said about going out for a ride with the blackwood lads or somit next week is that this weekend or next?

Squarepants

I'm 'introducing' two of my mates to Cwmcarn this weekend lads. My thoughts are to take them out solo (one has ridden a lot before and has a Stumpjumper; the other has done 0% riding and has no gear/lid - nothing..) so may not be wise to chuck em in with all us lot for starters as they maye feel a little out of their depth.

Will be gutted if I miss the Manmoel ride but hopefully will plan out in the long run as we may have two more tidy boys out with us. I'll prob be up Cwmcarn @ 10 on Sunday, will prob do the natural moors route as i really like that now - assuming it's not too wet.

If anything changes I'll let you know but have a good ride whatever fella's. .

As they say in Llandow..

If the weather is Ok does anyone fancy Manmaoel(near Blackwood). Well tidy natural ride. Nothing silly, just some good natural trails. Climbs are not too bad :roll:

What day are you thinking of riding Ian ?

Prince.... I am sure I have got a sram xo [ old model ] with new jockey wheels hanging about somewhere..

Sambini.... depending on what day Ian's riding I can bring those wheels with me for you to have a look at. They wont be as much as what you got in mind..

Perhaps the Brecon Beacons another day ...

Cheers mate about the wheels, Think theyd be great on my bike. Keep in touch and well tie up on the weekend.
