I went there after Kielder as it's fairly close and though it was nice enough it's the worst Stane I've ridden at, there's just not a right lot there (the only one I've not been to is Glentrool)

Just paid for my flights to Whistler this summer 
not sure if poking fun at me or not
Either way, knowing people with good cameras is very cool - though somewhat deflating to see how **** things really look

Now just paid entry for the only race I definitely wanted to do this year which is in August, a 75mile point-to-point. Do the race in Park City, Utah...followed by a week of riding the epics in Colorado and the rest of Utah.Just paid for my flights to Whistler this summer
Hamsterly forest isn't that far, and has some good riding.
The downside with it is that the signposted routes are a bit naff, and it really works best when you know the place pretty well and can ride just the best sections of it.
The black should give you a good run, with the 2nd half being better than the first.
I may well be there on Saturday if that'd be any use to you?
My new frame has arrived which im looking forward to building over the next few months. Having clown wheels might get some hate on here though
Not sure whether im going to keep my enduro or not once this is built.
One question you guys might know?....This is classed as having a PF30 BB. Am i correct in thinking BB30 and PF30 are the same thing? I ask as im using a praxis works adapter on my HT (Cannondale flash) so i can use my XTR cranks which i plan on bringing over to this frame.
The thing is Praxis have 3 adapters listed one PF30 and the other two as BB30 68 and 73

Measure the diameter of the hole and check if it has two slots for circlips within the shell itself.
42mm diameter and circlip grooves means BB30
46mm diameter and no groves will mean it's PF30
The extra space is for the plastic sleeve that the PF30 uses so the adapters will be different sizes.

About 2 hours away from me, but nothing else to do this weekend. So yeah give us a trust if you fancy it dude
Evening Guys,
my fox Flux helmets been used for around 2 years now and the clip that fastens the strap keeps coming loose which is a problem when it's windy! Any recommendations for a new helmet? Don't mind the looks of the bell ones with the large back part to them.
This seems a slightly cheaper alternative, anyone tried it ?

The last bell helmet I bought made my head look like a mushroom, have you looked at the Urge All Mountain? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/urge-all-mountain-helmet-2014/rp-prod109540
Have you emailed Fox? Always worth a go? Don't mention how old it is unless they ask
Transporting bikes in a van?
Right, mate's a landscape gardener and drives a fully panelled Vauxhall Vivaro for work. We use it at weekends for mountain biking, and did have a makeshift wooden contraption setup in the back to transport 3 bikes standing up side by side, but it fell to bits, lol!
He can't put any permanent fittings and fixtures in the back as he's got to carry loads of different things through the week, has anyone got any good suggestions for carrying bikes (preferably upright to minimise the chance of any damage!) in the back of a van? Cheers.

Tubeless - how often do you change the gunk in the tyres? I've been riding for about 14 months with no hassles/leaks etc but thinking of changing the gunk.
But it's a faff taking tyres off, cleaning them out, more gunk and inflating again etc (yeah yeah I should have removeable core valves and I could just pour some more in etc etc but I don't)

I've got these (Stan's) and they're bloody useless

Change the gunk when you can't hear anything sloshing around OR if it sounds like there's a ball rolling around, you'll have a bogie in there then.
