Re: East Coast Rides Thread
Lesson learned, Blairadam and conventional rigid mtb although doable is not desireable. Either some bounce or a fatbike front tyre will be ridden there next time if ever I get there next time.
Otherwise Fabby Braw time I had and I only crashed once !

Re:
velo, I have an old cr-mo Flex Stem hiding in shed somewhere if you want it. Nearly chucked it away several times as it's worth nothing and I will never use it again but thought it might fit in with your old but still perfectly usable bike philosophy. (I'm no takin the piss.)
When I had it on a bike years ago I thought it did OK taking out the hard edge on the bumps.
Needs a bumper/elastomer and maybe the bolt to hold the bumper/elastomer in place.
Was a good run around yesterday, don't know who fell off the most, me or Rob but I blame him for falling off in front of me for a couple of mine.

Re:
I forgot I'd asked you yesterday why you had the rigid bike. :facepalm:
You can add forgetfulness tae the auld and infirm.
