  1. I built a good relationship with Deng over the five years I was riding for him.

    I had a mixture of bikes in my time riding and none stood upto the abuse anything like ZOO! and ECHO did and ultimately his bikes gave me the confidence to achieve the lines I wanted to ride.

    I'm really sad to hear the news.

    RIP

  2. Ordered a hoody the other day,lovely stuff! Only issue I have is that postage to Ireland is pretty expensive

    And seemingly quite slow

    Sorry for the over charge - we've issued you a refund. It's the little things like this that we're working on so all feedback is appreciated and taken into account.

    We posted the parcel on 9th Feb - two days after we received your order. When did you get it?

    Saw Bessell rocking some Industry stuff on the weekend - looks really good quality! May have to get involved.

    Give me a shout if you've got any ideas you'd like to work on with me.

    Today i got my hoodies, they look really good.

    Just i missed in the site the option to buy stickers, always i ordered in my orders and this time wasn't different :(

    Stickers will be back online with the Spring/ Summer range. If you order again, we'll drop a few extra stickers in ;)

  3. Just a quick post for anyone that might be interested - been working on this for a few years now and it's going well. Just wanted to share it and find out what you guys think…

    Also, just want to say thanks to John Shrewsbury who has given me a lot of support from the start, helping to spread the word.

    More things in the pipeline including beanies, poms and 5 panels...

  4. Coming up on Monday the 18th and leaving that Friday (22nd). Should be staying at Afan itself, and Planning on riding whatever we can (skyline, the wall Ect) and hopefully a bit in the breccons, and possibly cwm carn if it's any good.

    I'm not in work on the Tuesday so if you want me to show you some natural stuff close by, i can. Other than that I usually ride after work.

  5. I'd say it was like anywhere really, got to keep your eyes on them at all times.

    Are you camping at Glyncorrwg? If you want to lock your bikes away then come see me in the shop before 5:00, if you miss me then ask the guys in reception.

  6. That is the exact combo im running! Just rode back from work and seriously felt the benefits on the climbs.

    Craig (Mr Scott) an few of us are heading up to Afan week after next. Will you be around? Be cool to grab some local knowledge, maybe fancy a ride?

    Max

    What days you coming up? I work most weekends. If im not working I'll come along for a ride.

  7. I work at Afan in South Wales - the Glyncorrwg mountain bike centre. If you're ever up for a ride, let me know.

    Arhhh, the Peaks. Definitely use UST. What rims you running? It might be worth just trying the stans rim tape in your current rims, just to see what you think of tubeless before you spend money on some expensive tubeless wheelset.

    Like I said, if the inner wall of the rim is pretty shallow, you can usually get away with it. Just make sure you completely cover the spoke holes and that the tape is stuck down well... and use the sealant.

    Hope that helps man.

  8. Being a mechanic at a trail centre I see and work on a hell of a lot of tubeless wheels and have laced quite a few rims up.

    I personally don't run tubeless, I very, very rarely get punctures and I ain't seriously fussed on the weight of my bike so I spend my money on other things.

    Although the Stan's No Tubes option works well using their own rims. I've seated non tubeless tyres on all three rim options with ease. Mainly Maxxis tyres using sealant.

    Also using the Stan's tubeless rim tape on non Stan's rims works as long as the inner wall of the rim is shallow, and again, using sealant.

    As for valves, Stan's again, work for me every time.

    I work with a few guys that run Flow rims on Maxxis non tubeless tyres front and rear. We do a lot of riding (trail centre stuff, natural stuff and even DH runs) and I can't remember them ever having a problem with this set up.

  9. Decided to start riding to work and back every other day. Petrol prices are insane and the journey is smashing the milage up on my car a treat.

    Rode in and back yesterday. I'm lucky enough to be able to link in some sections of the Skyline singletrack both ways.

    Here's a rough Google Earth Path of the route and the elevation profile. How accurate it is I'm not sure but it gives me a good idea.

    (not including singletrack sections)

    Distance: 21.9kilometres (13.7 miles one way)

    Max elevation: 597metres

    Average elevation: 354metres

    Basically, I have to ride over a Mountain.

    Also decided to enter the Afan round of the Gravity Enduro in September so this should get me fit for that. Anyone else entering any of the other rounds? or even the Afan one? or even done a similar kind of event?

  10. Nice meta, did you build that up from the vip frame?, Llandegla is a bit tame compared to Coed, that bike looks great with Lyriks, how do you like the renthal stem i always thought they look kinda strange?

    Yeh, its VIP. Stem is real nice, soo light.

  11. Been riding the Meta 6 so much these last few months.

    Went up Coed y Brenin and Llandegla afew weeks ago and did three full days of riding. Beast has a lot of good single track. Didnt think too much of Llandegla after riding Coed but was still sweet riding the skills area and pump track. Although the new black section is pretty sweet.

    Got a set of Lyrik coil u-turn insanely cheap, stripped them the other day and gave them new seals, fresh oil and put a light sping in them, well plush.

    Also got a Gravity Dropper. They look pretty shat with the rubber boot but I've had it on over a month now with no problems. For me, it makes riding the trails so much more fun not having to stop every two mins. Just orded the 4" drop inner post for it so i can slam the seat more.
