Looks amazing. :) And doing a quick google on "Lairig Ghuru" the snow looks like it kindof makes it easier getting over some of the boulders

(that's not a helpful response is it )

over time I know people who have worked in bike shops (evans & specialiszed factory to name a couple of high profile ones). The bikes on the £300-£500 genrally speaking have the highest markup, then as you get more expensive, the markups actually decrease. The brand also makes a difference, spec...

I live in North Essex. And sometimes Essex counts as East, and sometimes South East.

Anyway, if it's not too difficult to get to, I'm listening. Although I'm not really sorted bike packing wise on a MTB yet... but I could get some CX tyres and use my Cx bike if it's not too mental.

I've got a set of XT's on my full susser, and having had a go with a mate's xtr's, they are a far better brake.

I reckon the more sub boards a forum has, the more trouble it is to navigate round. . I agree too. I might maybe say as the occasionaly topic deemed quite useful and maybe reference worthy could be made a sticky or in a special "guides" board which is simply forum threads moved accross. T...
