If anyone's in the North East and fancies doing a charity ride in aid of the GNAA, a few mates have organised a big event at Hamsterley Forest in May, hopefully it looks good to a few of you - https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/e...-Great-North-Air-Ambulance-Fundraising-Ride--
So new Renthal handle bar and Lizard skin Moab grips fitted as well as the Zee rear mech (just need to sort getting into top and bottom gears - adjusting the hi/low screws maybe?)
Also got my Royal Racing SP24/7 trousers which seem great to me, not owned any before so nothing to judge them against as well as some new Fox gloves.
All this in preparation for BPW next month

Oulton, where's the commy?!
Pics or it didn't happen (bonus forum e-points if you model wearing the gloves and pants only ...short off big boy)

I'm close, but 30KM may be a bit too far for me at the moment - got a few health issues, otherwise normally I'd be well up for it!
Also, Transition Covert 26" - thoughts? Worth getting? (for the wifey)

Piking my meta up tonight, can not wait!

I used to have one, it was great fun, very playful. Similar weight to an Orange Five though so unless you really need the strength and stiffness, I'd go for a Bandit instead.
The TRanny supposedly pedals like a dog though.
schaweet!

Well, mine pedalled like most single pivot bikes if that's worth anything to Matt. With a decent platform shock it was fine. With the CCDB the bike tyre stuck to the trail like **** to a blanket.

Anyone know what the trail conditions are like at Aston hill? Mainly S2A, but also the other DH trails, Thinking about heading over tomorrow, just want to make sure everything is open and rideable.
Everything's open and rideable.
ps: Probably best to ask us here, or follow for updates, in case it hammers down and we need to close the car park.
