Arran - I was told today the roads there are absolutely sh*gged after the winter - better take full bounce

 

[kaiser]

I was there a few weeks ago, they're fine.

I'm taking a road tyred mtb, I plan to ride'The String' thus I'm going equipped for hills

So its a good idea if Kaiser knackered himself a bit in the morning, in the pm I might be able to keep up :roll:

Whats the ferry to Arran cost these days Velo :? if you know that is.

 

[velomaniac]

About £10 per foot passenger return, bikes go free

If you can try to catch a program on sky sports called 'cycle sport' has a nice segment with Danny MacAkaskill, Hans Rey and Steve Peat on Skye and in Torridon.

question learned brethren, I got a xtr m952 chainset today but minus the crank bolts, are you able to get these easily of are they shimano specific and hard to find?

it's the wee bolts top right- the originals seem to be self extracting???/

 

[kaiser]

You can get them anywhere, M15 IIRC CRC has them.

Just putting this post in here so everyone see it...

If the Edinburgh guys could keep an eye out over the next few weeks for this KHS... http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=139376

Nothing worse than buying a bike and then finding out a few days later it was stolen. Well ok there is a lot worse but you know what I mean.
