Returned from SSEC10 feeling positive but knackered, wont achieve much for a day or two :roll:
Was wavering on SSUK10 and still am but after this last event it'll be hard not to go :?

If you buy only one adjustable spanner today, make sure it is the Bahco Ergo Wide Jaw 90 Series 8 inch model.
Recently got one from Screwfix (at 2 quid dearer than the current price of £15 :cry: ) and what a fine purchase it has been. It opens wide enough to tighten headsets, and have a go at bottom brackets, and is made well enough to work as a tap wrench on fairly small taps, unlike the crappy wrench that came with my cheap ebay set (I've been rethreading a stripped braze on for my rack).
It literally oozes quality, or maybe WD40, and is Highly Recommended.

Big day out at Glentress today had planned to leave a wee bit earlier but any way hit the trails at the back of ten. Rode up to the freeride park for a bit then up to the top of spooky bypassing penals. Rode the red down to the road then back up the blue, hadn't done the bit of blue after the start of the spooky climb so done that(betty blue) made the blue all the way back to the Hub for lunch. Headed back out and climbed the red again, had intended to do the same as the morning but after climbing spooky wood again and riding the red to the fire road called it quits and came back on the blue descent.
Took the Azonic and apart from a squeak which was lubed after lunch it was impeccable. Really impressed, a definite few mph's extra and lots of grins. The slack front and big tyres give oodles of extra confidence. Quite a different riding experience. Not too bad on the climb either, the stiff rear seems to put down a lot of power only after a few hours did the fatigue start with the stiff frame and the seatpost is still a tad short for climbing.
Anyway super day which would have been better with a bit of company but hey ho
Oh and it snowed three times, and no wallet ZZ.

Mean looking machine Kaiser, I do like it.
Question for you- with the seat post so high, do you find it flexing a lot as you ride? I have a similar setup on my Kona, perhaps more extreme still, and it certainly flexes when the power goes down (what power there is).
But this maybe is just God telling me I should lose two stone.
