Mountain Biking

[Supernova]

Hehe, cool I've never raced either so I'm definitely nervous about signing up. The entrance fee is steep though for a place that I don't find very interesting. £45 is not far off a day out in Wales.

Yeah it is a bit steep, also a reason I've not done any enduros so far. You could have an uplift day for less money. I have family nearby, otherwise I'd pass on it tbh. It'll be a lot of pedalling, but I don't mind a bit of XC.

The first one was just 30 mins of skids. Wasn't a fan to be honest! Thought it was very boring.

Woke up to a nightmare. Converted both my tyres during the week and checked on them this morning. Rear tyre is perfect and has lost absolutely no air whatsoever. Front wheel however won't hold any air at all so needing to re-do it today and hope it's fine for tomorrow!

one of my HD took ages to seal properly and would go down over the course of a few days.

a couple of rides got it sorted.

this one isnt much better, feels like they recorded about 5 mins of film and looped it for 80% of the hour.

Ordered the mk3 flows on pro4.. Woop!

 

[Superpatsy]

Wolftrax is my new favourite place

 

[Snax]

I'd be happy with that to be honest when looking at 350-400 for a new set of hope pro4 based wheels.

Whereabouts can you get that kind of price? Everywhere I look is about £480 for pro4.

Just speced some on flow mk3 for just over 400 on crc.

The hope enduro are 350 odd.

Got caught a tad short this evening



Good job I was at the top of a hill half a mile from the car No idea why it happened, wasn't even pushing hard!

What chain is it?

 

[Skillmister]

Whatever chain comes on a voodoo bizango!

What should I be looking to replace it with?

KMC X10 (chain that comes with your bike) or Shimano HG95. You'll need a chain tool (like this) to cut the chain. Measure your old one so you know where to cut your new one.

And get some quick links .............

 

[Skillmister]

Was only doing a short dicking about on some hill trails so didn't have any tools etc with me as I knew I wouldn't be far from the car.

Looking at where it broke, it looks like it had a quick link on it already. Guess I can just replace that rather than buy a new chain?

 

[BaJ]

Are you sure it's broke? You might just be able to snap the quick link back together.

If both ends are inner links then yeah you can just get a new quick link

 

[Skillmister]

It looked broke, i'll check over the weekend. Don't remember ever using quick links before!
