Nice pics

Corrr that looks nice, not sure whats changed, as i didnt see it before, but looks good.

And a question for you guys, got some new pads for my Avids, but what side does the pad with the bend on the grab pin go? right side or left - inside or outside.

The same way they came out?

One will say INSIDE / IN and the other OUTSIDE / OUT. In/Inside being closest to the hub

Is it ok to for some price checks in here? :confused:

Not sure many would look at MTB stuff in the MM.

Cant sell MTB stuff in MM, but cant see any harm in asking for price advice in here.

Some shiny pics here

Very nice

Only got the Paragon at the back end of last year and I'm already considering getting a Morewood Zula frame and swapping the components across.

The Zula is most certainly a looker. If I could havea dedicated XC bike, that would be it

Saturday will be Dalbeattie, Sunday Kirroughtree. Then the rest of the 7 stanes on the west coast. Nevis Red, Laggan, some natural trails around Aviemore, then finishing off at Inners and Glentress.

A couple of people on here were meant to be coming but pulled out last week. Too scared to camp with a Hairy Scotsman I recon!

Do you know what routes your doing? or are you going to wing it when you get there?
I'v heard there are some good unofficial trails in aviemore.

In fact, what day are you going to be in aviemore? I might pop through for a ride if thats ok.

weescott · 8 Jun 2010 at 01:26

A pal of mine is showing us the trail(s). He rides quite a lot so if he says its good then it must be really good. We should be there for 2 days sometime between Wednesday and Friday. Drop me an email or add me to messenger and we could arange something.
