quotes so...... um ... where do you put your bottle cage...you know like for maybe putting your night riding battery in. sweet bike, only once had a shot on a bike like this and was amazed at the balance and manouverability these things have

quotes cor...... not been here in years....see the jumps still look dodgy as ever

quotes hell yeah to all the above. i run a 1x 9 set up, 36 front 34 rear, never found a hill yet to beat me. i used to race xc about 10 years ago and raced it flat pedals, 130mm manitou sherman, and 38 front cog 32 rear. 1x9. was only guy on hill with a chain device, a few podiums and 4th place overall in series tells me that gears are very overrated.

quotes lol, yes remember that fricken issue very well, as dot 5.1 squirts everywhere and a mass panic to clean it up before it ruined my bikes paint job

quotes sounds like awkward cable routing for tidli, however if you keep the brake lever on when you clamp up it should theoretically couteract the cable postioning problem. thinking more abou this idea from hayes and the one thing it definitely is , is fool proof 100% satisfaction that its gonna work...unless you have a bent rotor

quotes yeah its a pretty neat idea but i have always used the tried and tested method of loosely bolting the caliper on, pressing the brake lever to lock the caliper on to the disc, therefore perfectly aligning it to the disc (and taking into account any issues with siezed/sticky pistons) and then nipping the bolts up whilst the lever is still locked. perfect every time and takes less than a minute to do and only one tool being used as well

aww man one day i will go but for me i think 2k would be better spent on a frame and some bike parts Frown my bike gets it rough as hell i think im jus tgoing to have to stock with our uk uplifts for a while and try and get fast... I think you should do some negotaiting with the wife and ge tout again. until then you should come and do an uplift sometime we could get neally in on it as well he was there last time. see you soon mike!

No been up at all this week mate cause of work. I would imagine its slippy. All the loose should be washed away by now, the first rain fall is always the worse. Weather looking ok for weekend.
