Guys I wonder if you could help we with a problem I have with my GT , in one specific gear when I'm peddling I feel a click constantly through the pedals , if I change to another gear it stops . I'm a real noob when it comes to bikes , is this something serious or easily fixed ?

For some reason I think it stands for 'Haul The **** Up'. Could be completely wrong though.

It stands for, Harden The **** Up.

After the Freeride/DH of yesterday, today was the first race in my local XC series. 3rd place in my age group :cool:

Had the SICKEST weekend away at Aston hill downhill!
Had 3 long sessions over the weekend on my new bike.. and I actually felt my skill level improved so much!

Did the 4x track so many times and just got better at it every go

Gonna give the Road Gap a go in a month of so's time, for anyone who knows the spot

ps: went over the handlebars a few times this weekend, hurt my jaw a tad, but my mate literally fell straight on his face and skidded down a jump on his face - got a concussion to boot

This has brought me to want to buy a fullface, always thought just a dirt jump lid would suffice... but after seeing him after he came down, it even convinced my other half that i need one.

Can you guys reccomend any good, decently priced ones? All the carbon ones are so expensive, been looking at th 661 comp, any good?

I can't jump to save my life. I hope to learn soon though. I was considering buying a FF helmet for this very reason.

6thElement, can I stay at yours for a holiday please?

6thElement · 5 May 2008 at 22:53

I've got a season pass for Diablo so I'll probably try to go there most weeks until it closes at the end of October.

Road riding a couple of nights a week.
SS one night a week.
Downhill on Saturdays.
XC or XC race on Sundays.

Should be a busy summer

Lucky git... Anyways been racing at caersws on the weekend. Hell of a track, hotter it got the faster the track was! Hand been giving me greif after i broke it a few weeks back... (riding two races with a bust hand hurts). Came off a few times but managed a good result!

If your fit enough to ride single speed then you cant go wrong with an inbred!
