Is that Westwood I can hear in the background?

Sat here thinking no way can anyone beat Peaty's time, then Aaron Gwin does that

Mental run by Gwin, don't think anyone expected that! Shame about Mick Hannah, he's had a big off :eek:

I couldn't believe it, his 2nd split was nearly 10 sec faster than Peaty's - I think the commentators "surely not!" exclamation summed it up well

Bummed for greg, but super pumped for G-Win!

Hey guys

I've got a pair of Shimano SH-MT21C SPD shoes but the cleat cover has gone missing off of one of them. I haven't fitted SPD pedals to my bike yet but will do soon but in the meantime I was wondering if anyone knows if you can get a replacement cover to screw back into the bottom of them?

Edit: just found some

Hi guys, I'm in need of a front light for my bike. I ride in the dark on rural roads, so it's completely dark. I already have a flashing led light on the front to be seen, but I need something to see with! Can anyone recommend something for around 30-50 notes?

Had my first day out on the big bike this year. Pal had his first go on his RaceBike:

Got girth?

A unique design for sure:

Ha, that's awesome.

Not a fan of the big block of metal in the centre, certainly different though.

I knew you wouldnt like it, if it works though, have to admit though im a bit of a convert of the i want it to work well but also look good.

What the Fck is that thing weescott?

weescott · 24 Apr 2011 at 17:35

The newer version is a beast too:

rhysduck · 24 Apr 2011 at 17:55

That looks like roadkill :eek:

People don't buy them do they ?

Supercow · 24 Apr 2011 at 17:57

You've been drinking haven't you?

Did you go on the Skills park?

No unfortunately not. Was that near the DH sign-in place too?
I also doubt my average hardtail would have coped with that (and my complete lack of skills).

Will have to give it a whirl sometime in the future when I've got a new bike.

It's fairly near the main car park IIRC.

You need to seek out transmission & Section 13 next time you're there, they're great.
