Sounds like a plan Andy I’ll put it to one side for you. Will be giving you a shout for those wheels once I’ve moved some of this on

fancy trading the rekon for a 27.5 tyre or two?

There’s parking down towards Riders Cycle Centre on Engine Shed Lane. Folk use it when doing the YD300 etc. Other than that there’s on road parking on New Carleton Road but might not be ideal for three days Thanks, thats where i was thinking but only i've been when yd300 is on so unsure if useable ...

I'm planning on touring the YD200 next week. where in skipton would be good to leave the car for 3 days?
thanks.

Definitely, good advice. Lots of climbing warmup routines on youtube if you're unsure of what to do.

I've just started a few months ago, aged 43, with my son (8). My best advice is get advice from the staff. The ones at our place are very helpful. It's mostly technique, not strength and if you keep it up the strength will come. We go twice a week and I'm seeing steady improvement, I'm sure I'll hit...

Thanks. Will look for those too

like this?: https://biketart.com/products/dakine-re ... bite-valve

Looking to replace a source bite valve which I find let's air back in and is generally annoying to use.
What recommendations can you give for a replacement?
Ta.

It works like a carbon fork! I've used it both loaded up for an overnighter and general trail riding. It's been fine for both. I think it is the same as the Selcof fork which Planet X use on some bikes (but don't sell separately)... Nice one - thanks for the suggestions. I went with the Olsen one a...

More to come.

Might be very tempted if it’s a yes.
Why the sale btw?

Already bought one, sans discount?

Nah. I'd been considering one and then when I saw the discount, the Mrs persuaded me to buy one!

Not taking any blame for your weakness
