Hi - I live about 30 mins south in New Quay, Sam Oliver and his brother Tom live about 40 mins north in Towyn and Dave Kerr lives about 70 mins away near Carmarthen. We all ride Aberystwyth periodically so if you move to aber give us a shout and we can meet up.

Hi Kev,
Aaron will not need a BIU license unless you are planning to do one of the BIU international events in Czech, Spain or possibly China. He doesn't need any licence for the British championships but would need a licence from British Cycling if you were planning to do the Youth Games in the summer.

There are classes for 20" and 26" in both Expert and Elite but the 24" wheeled bikes are grouped with the 26's.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Graham Tickner and Helen Smith (and all of the others from Crowthorne club who helped out) for their work in holding the trial at Hook Woods this weekend. The sections were superb and whilst they were tough they were really good fun to ride. There is a British Championship round there in September and if it is anything like yesterday's trial it will be fantastic.
Thanks again.

Me and Dave Kerr will be making the trip down from West Wales. Do we have to enter in advance or just turn up and pay on the day. I have had a look on the club web site but cannot seem to download an entry form. Thanks

Lovely people of TF -
I'm setting about rawing my frame and need a little advice prior to going for it.
I'm around 90% certain but need confirmation, is my frame annodised not painted?
Cheers.
Nitromors and a pressure washer will do the trick. Paint the nitromors on and then leave it for about 10 mins and then blast the frame with a pressure washer. Most of the paint will come off (i found the onza paint to be as soft as !!!!)and with the paint that is left just repeat the process. It took me about 30 mins when I rawed my comp frame - I used wirewool to get any little scratches and traces of paint off and if you scratch the frame again use the wirewool. I found it really easy and the results look great.

I've got a newer Zhi h0le style rim, and its badass...holds grinds really well.
Cheers alex. Is that the new version (2011)??
The ones that are pretty light?
Owz, they are utter shite believe, I had some, still got em kicking about somewhere, they just don't hold a gring.
Ok that sounds a bit crap Matt. Where they 2010? Just thought they where really light, but if the brakings no good then will go for something different.

Thanks.

buses would be your only option but we quite often ride in aber so you shouldn't need to go anywhere else that often
