    Sorry mate but the SX Trail's not fully built back up yet, still waiting for some chain ring bolts :cry:

    Have fitted everything else, got the chain device on tonight and shelter taped the chainstay.

    Will have to let you down this week, sorry. Perhaps next week? Think I'm around Monday & Tuesday evening.

    No, 5mm for a single-ring set-up.

    Got some E13 ones on order, should be here today/tomorrow (as I ordered them last Thursday!!)

    Hopefully see you on Tuesday, I'll confirm early next week.

    Sometimes depends on rings/cranks though. I originally bought 5mm ones for my single ring, slx cranks and goldtec ring, and they were too short. Had to get 6.5mm.

    Oh b*gger!! Let's hope they fit, it's Truvativ Hussefelt cranks with a blackspire single-ring. No bashguard though, so that might help.

    Fingers crossed, although mine has no bash either. Evans, leisure lakes etc usually sell them, 6.5mm anyways, that's where I get mine from. 5 quid for pack of 5.

    noooooooooooooooo....
    Hi Guys,

    Really sorry to spring this on you, but FC have just informed me there is to be a WDMBA race event at Cwmcarn on the weekend of 8th & 9th September. So this means your uplift bookings for that weekend are cancelled.

    I was only informed of the dates a few days ago, although only actually confirmed to me today. So I'm really sorry but this is totally out of my control.

    With regards to your booking, I can either just refund it in full, or I can move it to another date. If you want to move the booking, I will need an actual date, otherwise it's easier for me to just give you a refund.
    Check http://cwmdown.co.uk/bookings before you get back to me with a date, just to make sure there is a space. If there is only limited space on the date you want, it might be best just to book it yourself and get a refund for this booking as I'm driving all week now, as Kenny is out of action for a while. So I'll only be on the computer in the evenings. Let me know by email, because if you phone me, I will be in the forest and just tell you to email me anyway.

    Can you please let me know you have received this email.

    Sorry for all the hassle,

    Darrell

    Well, I'll be asking for a refund until we sort out whats gonna happen.. I'll rebook if we decide on another day, but i imagine that most are booked for a while :(

    Agreed, that sounds like the best plan. It took so long to agree on the first date, who knows how long it'll take the second time around??

    Fark them and their sh!tty WDMBA race, bet they're slower than us anyway :D

    BTW, still laugh every time I see the picture posted by Squarepants and remember his PM of last night - "unmitigated disaster" :lol:

    ARSE!!!!!

    I'll be asking for the refund, not sure about how much other time I'll have around then what with moving back down to uni etc

    Consequently I'll step back at this point from comitting to any other plansbut if you guys do decide to go somewhere else/try a different day I'll see what I can do.


    Gutted.

    Also I fecking hate cows. Working 16 hour days at the moment, it's not healthy for a student :lol:

    Hmmm, I just got another pass from her indoors for this weekender, and now I find out they've farkin gone and cancelled it. Utter utter bellends!

    Ah well, probably for the best. I'm currently without a DH bike, and it's the same weekend as the end2end anyway, so I might just stick to doing that.

    That drop is on the new black section which was taped off Sunday as it is not completed (hence the digger in that vid) insane drop though huh, 10ft at least I reckon.

    Hmmmph. Just seen that the uplift on the 9th is cancelled - I was actually thinking of seeing if I could be an honorary bloke / crudcatcher person for the day and come and join in.... :oops:
