fixed hols suck, have a great time

rotor ring for 2 yrs never had a problem ss or alfine

quick blip round the peak district with the wmmtb club, bit damp and a gentle breeze but the fatboy destroyed the climbs, and flew on the downhills love the area

think they come in at about 8lb frame and fork, use mine for ss and alfine 8sp hub, comfortable and reassuring on the downs, quite high front end makes it a bit fiddly to get the bars the right height and distance also may need to use a laid back post

just got 2prs from wych bearings paid a bit dearer buy cheap buy twice, usually grease up the cheapo,s but they seem to die rapid at the moment, so giving the dearer one,s a go paid £5-8 each

can,t remember where someone posted up about plotting routes i want to do a route for the wrt and get it onto my garmin 800 is it possible to do it on the pc without maps to x ref, if it goes tits up may tag along with the lhc, but want to have a good go at it myself,

stu mcgroo mentioned it stu, and johnclimber both got rid but for different reasons

i have a scandal and stooge used both for bikepacking prefer the stooge personally,

on one say you can fit 2.4 but recommend 2.3 max, clogs up quick 2.25 was best

i live in rugeley staffs, cross the main rd fields all the way to cannock chase, lots of bridleways in the area too, 30-45 mins from the peak district, and a couple of hrs from most other areas, only downer it encourages people from brum :lol: no seriously it has took a battering since the man made ...
