Mountain Biking

If it helps I used a 116 link xt chain with a 32t narrow wide, 40t expander and a med cage slx shadowplus mech. Popped a few links out.

Oh, i see. Pretty much any option will be fine for a 1x10. You dont need a very long chain for that.
You wont be able to buy a chain which fits perfectly, you'll need a chain tool and take a few links off it when you fit it.

This is how to do the hardest skinny at Glentress....

.... right?

 

[SpudMaster]

Skinny? it's practically pavement width

Went to Llandegla again at the weekend. Really learning how to be a bit quicker/more fluid now.. Enjoyed it!

Quick snap at the start of the B-Line.

B Lines looks naff now they have got rid of the trees. They made it too easy as well, the drop of the wood is a ramp now.

thing is a lot of the land used for trails (particularly FC land) is all working forest. people moaned about swinley recently when they farmed a load of trees.

Anyone tried riding *up* the drop at the start of B-line?

 

[Phil W]

Nope.

Two blokes sitting half way through the wooded section for a rest was interesting, too!

I tried hitting the double jump rhysduck posted a vid of a few pages ago backwards.. I case it with the chainring!

So I tried pumping my tyres tonight, no chance with a track pump.

I'm right in thinking, smash with track pump to get pressure in them before filling with sealant? Or do I need to fill with sealant and then it's the only way I'll be able to get them to seal on? Most guides say to filll with air first before adding sealant, which doesn't make sense to me. Not sure how they will create a seal?

for my current setup, I inflated with air to seat the bead, let the air out, removed the valve core, added sealant, replaced valve core then inflated.

 

[Begbie]

Yep, can't get the bead to seat at all. Nothing, on both wheels.

Might need to see if I can get a compressor...

Mega avalance carnage. Check out the dude at around 1min40sec on his hands and knees, sounds very unwell if you have speakers!

that looks sketchier and sketchier every year

Just whacked it on the garage compressor, ghetto is too much work

Might invest iin one of those super duper pumps, SC recommended.

 

[Jono]

What about one of those tanks you inflate to 100psi?

 

[MrKnifey]

Done a ride last night from me house over to BPW and back.. A470 line is still sketchy as hell.. They seriously seriously seriously need to sort out the loose gravel on the take off of jumps you need to turn up the lip off... Its just dangerous.

On another note Dai Hard was running sweeeeet!
