Re:

I picked up a pair of 1" threaded direct drive forks recently for my Epic, they are out there. Was keeping my eye on a few framesets and complete bikes to potentially rob the forks off and sell the rest on, might be an option for you.

Re:

Built a bike up using the bike stand I recently bought at Lidl, makes everything so much easier, can't believe I've waited this long to get one! :facepalm:

Went to the Square Wheels BBQ for the handover to the new owner. End of an era.

Hopefully the new owner is an old customer and it will continue on as before. WHich these things do happily unless the new chap has his own idea or is young.
Have you met the new owner or any idea what it will become :?

Ive been in once but you know a real bike shop from those fly by night pretenders.


Probably more directed at Klaus but not saying you guys are cheap or nothing Just K seems to know more about the weight weenie side of things

Rotor rex 3.2 cranks in particular How are they rated ?
And are we stuck on rotor rings or will any do :?

Sorry to hear it.....will the Puffer continue?

I've no idea Andy, they are quite new and they are lovely and pretty bloody light. I'm fairly sure they can use regular rings as well.


Rob, I have a nice selection of 1" forks.....No DD'd though. Triple butted spinner though in silver.

Steve is going to concentrate on events I think and the 'Puffer will definitely continue.

But an unknown is the attitude of the major landowner - the old owner has just died and whether his heirs will want the race to continue may be a question. I'll ask Steve if that's going to be a problem next time I see him. It can be re-routed anyway - there's the old Scottish XC course which hasn't been used for a while and that's on forestry land.

Thanks chief I'll bear that in mind

This is why I responded as I did to the idea of common land/forestry land being handed over to private owners. Some suggested it would make no difference to access, but you just never know.
