Yeah been doing the same.....can't seem to find any 30% hills though :? I have managed to get 4 off us all booked up. I have heard Hardknott is a killer can't wait!

Great vid....He was a pretty good climber! Although reading the comments he had a triple, I havent got that luxury im afaraid :roll:

xcMuttley

I dont have a triple either...Oh god. I didnt realize it was going to be that bad!! Thats going to be painful

I've got one going spare... bids start at £100 (or equivalent in beer )

Actually - that might work out. Sit at the start line with a Madone 4.5 Triple and photos of Hardknott next to it

Think i will stick it out with compact haha! Cant afford to change any more parts lol
