Dyl, thanks very much for the offer of tyres mate. Do you know what compound the 2.5 High Roller is?

I wouldn't mind trying out the Advantage on the back but really want something nice and sticky on the front. ...

Nope,  can't see it on there,  but it feels sticky rolls like crap and seems to be wearing out very quickly,  so it's soft enough for the rear.

The Advantage will be plenty sticky on the front,  the rubber feels really soft be great on rocks I'm sure.

as my motorcycle instructor once said to me - if you need ABS then youre probably already in trouble, learn to brake better and you shouldnt ever lock up (sounds better if you say it in a deep southern american accent, not that he was)

Re snowdon - have we decided on what order were doing the days? Should we have some kind of vote or sumthing? I dont really have a preference so my vote is NO PREFERENCE.

If you dont already know, its my Birthday on the Sunday so the plan is to get a little merry on Saturday night, those that know me know I like a beer or 3 but getting completley wasted is not in my top 5 things to do so albeit were there to have a good time, for me it would be a shame not to enjoy the Sunday ride plans too etc

My Vote (in simon speaks up in route choice shocker) is,

Friday - Marin

Sat - Snowdon

Sunday - CYB  unless hungover in which case Llandegla as its on the way home

Dave, Were you not wasted that time your ran round endcliffe park chasing squirals at 5:00am in the morning ? 

I dont think I would actually enjoy being stomach pumped in a taff a&e as much as Dan would   

Thanks for your kind words Dave...

Vote:  Sat Snowdon, Sun CYB

voting lines closing soon, get em in chaps!

I really shouldnt sit on the fence so my vote is Snowdon on the Saturday and what ever were capable of on the Sunday

Hi chaps, hope you are all ok .

Re Snowdon weekend, I don't mind which way around we do it, so I'll vote as above. Still not sure if I can stay over though, still working on it. Just spent nearly 400 quid on t'orange and she's got a right face on and I still got to get some pikes

Who's about Sunday then? Clocky can you bring that blue groove on Sunday mate, I've almost worn mine out

hey Den - good to see your around, you cant just say you spent 400 on new bits and leave it there, we want details!!!!!

Im should be ok for sunday riding in the peak, its a bit soon to start believing met check but the weather for sunday is looking ok

It would be good if you can stay over on the Sat, I know its fairly close from home but should be a good night and stuff

Hi Den, good to hear from you mate. What shiny bits have you bought for the Orange then??

twould be good if you could stay over, have a few beers- hotel is about £40 ish for the night.

Not sure yet if I'm riding at the weekend and if so which day..

Ride feckin arrghhh,  no time for me WORK WORK WORK.

I took control of that contract which has got no where for 3 - 4 months,  and in 1 day,  got 476 data files,  remote access to all the PC's and Server required,  I ROCK!!

Got to write it know   I suck

LATERS

I'll do me best to stay over, will keep working on it up to the very end

I've got some new wheels, nukeproof hubs with mavic 521 rims the rear wheel is whisper quiet, cassette, crank set SLX double with bash 22 tooth and 36 thought it might be better than a 3 ring set up, a chain, some new tyres, a new saddle and some grips. Might have to get some new mallets, the spring clip on the right hand pedal is getting stiff and doesn't always engage, that's another 50 ish bucks

Ay yo Den   Bloody ell, thats almost a new bike. I like the Nukeproof hubs mate, I've just got one for the Meta and yeh, there silent... makes such a change !

You could always share with Dylan on the Saturday night  

Im in Shock tonight, I've actually managed to bleed a disc brake without F£)*$"( it up.. thats twice in a row i've manage to bleed Formula brakes...  Just swapped the front (nasty crimped hose) for.. the G word..  (awaits Andy salavating over the G word)...

BTW,  Need another Rotor and my LBS is saying that you should keep ORO rotors with Oro brakes, does that make sense ? Does it make much diff if I use an Avid with an Oro ? Assuming that mounts are designed for 203mm ?

Disks a Disk Si pretty much,  just get something sensible looking not designed to be pretty

Christ... I'm selling stuff on ebay at the moment... when did that place become full of complaining dumb ass £*(&"£$&(  ?   This sums it up,

Like, Im selling some fins.. they are advertised as medium, and I took a photo of the medium sign on the back of the fins.  First person asks what size they are... I post reply, by the time the 5th person asks what size they are I'm looking for Beadle round the back of the sofa...

muppets..
