I say, that's rather spiffing. What's the spec?
[quote="SDK^]Just waiting for the first service in a couple of weeks.[/quote]Ah, okay. Was going to offer you a spare set of plastic bungs in case you weren't considering it.

Got the new bars on.
Off to Cannock Chase tomorrow to give it a proper run, but loving the carbon bars already just riding around the local area - can really feel the difference when you hit bumps.
A friend re-routed the rear brake cable for me as well, much neater now.

nothing too fancy, most of the bits came off my old avalanche.
It was a bit muddy today, got soaked.
were you on Cannock Chase today?
saw that bike pass me as i was adjusting my bars just before the little board walk section.
Could be a number of things. Check the tightness of the pedal, crank bolt, and BB, any of these could cause a clicking/creaking noise.
Check whether it happens when you're only clipped in on one side, or by standing on one pedal without being clipped into it.
So many things, but by careful elimination you'll be able to work it out.

They are the 2006 < model. The newer model has a silver body and a re-designed lever. Not much difference in the models though.
Sweet bike BTW

The riding in Whistler and on the North Shore is just fantastic. Favourite trails in Whistler were Original Sin, In Deep and Joyride. Can't wait to go back again.

A-Line is just a long jump line, yes it's good but I prefer some variation. Most runs down the mountain tend to end up on the lower section of A-Line finishing with the GLC drop.
Could you please give us your view/info on costs, travel arrangements with bike, accommodation, length of stay required etc?
I'm thinking of arranging a trip next year so would be useful to get your opinions.
Thanks

I'm guessing your plans won't follow mine too closely but here's a rough break down of my costs:
Flight booked late was ~550USD, would have been less than 400USD if I'd booked earlier.
Perimeter Coach from Vancouver airport to Whistler was ~57CAD (should have been another 25CAD for the bike but the woman messed up)
3 bedroom condo for 4 nights was ~1200CAD split between 6 guys.
Lift ticket was ~120CAD for 3 day pass then ~37CAD for each additional day
I met the rest of my group in Whistler as they'd road tripped up from San Francisco. We did 4 days DH riding in Whistler then a day on the North Shore shuttling at CBC before they dropped me at the airport. After 4 days riding DH all day in Whistler I was tired by the 5th day when we shuttled. Anymore time in Whistler and I'd have either had a day off the bike doing other outdoors stuff or ridden the XC trails.
edit: Here's a random Youtube video of CBC where we shuttled on the North Shore http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iYXAaiCMs0
