Rats, just broke my own rule about not talking in the Gallery :roll:

You just cant get the staff these days

That's it, YOUR FIRED

 

[jimihendrix]

Not me in either! You'll get an idea of my ineptitude on a board next sunday if you come...

So it's next Sunday at Broxburn then ?, i'll bring the Klunker along, which is daft but positively sane compared to a Mountain board

Jimi, it might be saner to bring your full bouncer even with a dodgy shock, even I'm raking my parts bin for full sus :roll:

LTS is still in bits, got the shock sorted but the bike has sat around so long the brakes are mince :cry:

The FSR will be nice one day when i have a spare £150 to spend on a shock :roll:

Jimi, what about 10 under the Ben, you up for it?

Hardtail will be fine, its not rocky and the only bumps are crosser-made whoops. Tyres- anything will be good. Brakes- good brakes will help, but not essential. Q/R seatpin recommended to drop the saddle for the steep stuff

Just had a proper look at it, yeah i'm up for that

Sair ribs Got within 2 corners of the very end of GT red/black then completely lost it. Good ride up till then though - caught up with a couple of full sussers at Spooky (don't think they knew their way around very well), and narrowly missed someone's bonnet in the Squirrel car park. Really busy though and cantis are hard bloody work. Felt like I was carrying more speed through the berms though, purely because brakes were shite.

I demand 1 finger braking, would it be wrong to get a disc mount welded on the Stumpy?

Oh aye, how do you stop foam grips from slipping? Tried hair spray, but didn't hold.

Yes, try some maggies

Hmmm, good point, I think it had a pic of Duran Duran on the can...
