    Even though everyone knows Marin Quad links are crap, I do like how the bike is so white, that it actually has a white aura around it! :D

    Oh, and if you're planning on upgrading to Goodridge, don't bother, unless you're doing it purely for the cosmetics., in which cae, it's a personal thing.

    Nope, not really. All OEM hoses are braided kevlar already. Goodridge do make good cables, but have made a fortune selling "upgrades" to the easily led.

    I reckon our bikes should get together and form a crime-fighting duo or something. They look a bit good-cop/bad-cop, with the angelic white, and the evil looking black :lol:

    Maybe while we're there we can prevent them locking the freaking carpark at 6pm :roll:

    I thought the carpark closed at 9pm...oh that's in the week init...doh ? been up on a Monday as the centre is closed so you don't have to cough up £3.50...Weds is good as it's a late one...and the shop stays open..six at weekend which is a bit shite

    You mean it's open later on weekdays?
    What the frick is wrong with these people?
    I really can't see why they can't just leave the carpark open all the time anwyay. Everywhere else does.
    They say it's because the neighbours complain. Right.... :roll:

    If Sheeps is riding there when he comes to visit Rhyl, I reckon I should try and convince him to steal the gate as a souvenir.

    There's a void, which you have to ride over like Hans Rey did in the film E.T.

    Apart from that, I don't know. I haven't been there this year.

    Yep...I heard some numbtie on some crappy Apollo cack attacked it...fell off....no protective gear....of course hospitalised....chainsaw out....cut each end off..so to summerise some total f*ckwitt who obviously didn't read the sign ref experience, a quality bike, and protective gear needed has spoilt it for the MTB masses...pi$$es me off these nobs that have a bike and think they can ride like the Athertons bugger it all up...anyway there also doing some work on the black with bigger drops etc..(the large wooden table top jobbie is still on the black though)

    WHOOOOAA there horsey.
    You might be right about that, but the story I'd heard (and the pictures I've seen to back it up) suggest that it has been removed because of forestry work. Not sure if it's temporary or not.
    So either you're right, or I'm right, or neither of us is right.

    Sure, no problem. I live less than 15 minutes away from Bangor.

    Me neither. It doesn't actually occur to me though, because the way it's pronounced locally doesn't sound like it at all!

    So you going to Uni in Bangor I take it then?
    As a mountain biker you're very well catered for :D
    We even have possibly the best bike shop in the world in town, Revolution bikes. :wink:
