grantham

Pics are kool nice work. The free for all was just crazy lol, I think the fast music that was playing in the background just made it feel like mayhem lol, there was people all over the place, was great fun

was a great event, so much work went into setting it all up, good to see the motor trials counter parts mucking in as well, from what brian was saying douie, martin etc were down on the saturday helping with the course building to, great to see this. Really glad I travelled all the way up in the snow although I was very tempted not to in the morning as it was really bad down my way and a nearly 3 hour drive to get there, i think if it had been a normal comp I would have wimped out, but it was for such a good cause. What relly struck me was the amount of different riding styles, everyone tackled everything in a different way, was great to see. John P I still remember what you said to me after, that you wouldn't do it again because of how much work it was, I hope thats not the case you did a briliant job and similar events would really do the sport good not to mention the charites that could be supported. Remember it's always easier the second time round i'm sure when you've recovered from all the hard work and look back you'll want to do more Great Event, Great Day

waho managed to get the try-all in there in parts haha. Most of that filming is from the saturday after the guys had been out, I had been out the friday to lol, when we met at the shop in the morning all the guys were late haha so they deffinately had a very heavy night so to get any riding done at all ws a great effort, I didn't think the filming was too bad seeings we had to be quick everywhere due to the police lol. was a good day. haha yer waynes hope gear may look a bit ott for a street ride, but you all noticed it in the video and are talking about it, so basically it's done it's job, any publicity is good publicity.

I've managed to get my zhi freewheel onto my bike now and it's feeling great so far, the engagemets seem much more positive than my previous freewheel, i'll add some pictures when i get chance to but my cmera is back at uni. I also got to have a look at one of the z2 mod spacing 26" frames yesterday, i'm very temted to splasg out and buy one, the build quality of them looks really good and the frame seems stiff to. The silve-white-silver paint job looks awesome to!

I've been using the trident shoes for about 2 weeks now, having used almost all the previous sets of ribos available I can say that these shoes easily match up to if not better the ribos especially on their value for money. The new buckle on these seems to be more reliable than the ones on the ribos due to it being one solid piece as apposed to the two skinny levers used on the ribos. The heel area is particularly stiff no signs what so ever of the heel falling to pieces like they did on the ribos. it also feels more difficult to role your ankle in these shoes. I'm in the biggest size which is a uk size 10.5 but i'm an 11 and I have enough room in these shoes and they offer a great fit. deffinitely top value for money I picked some shorts up yesterday but i'm just waiting for the good weather before trying them out

i've been using some specialisied ones since the summer, really good and last for ages

will it be that warm? i could be interested, how far away is it? will have to double check that tom is going to stay up sunday night to.

beasty that is dan

where are you guys riding monday? me and my friend might stay up depending on the weather

some top teams in there, should be a good laugh

look at the top 8 riders in the last uci final what were they running? surely that many top riders can't be wrong?

really good to see the big companies supporting the event

erm abi oliver, rachel burdett not sure of anymore, its a shame it wasn't last weekend as the abant twins were over here, they could have rode.

give lois a call and make her ride lol!

amen to that! really didnt like that video one bit, thought it was just me

just to let you know me and danny butler are off up to matlock quarry for about 12 today if anyone fancies coming up?

im guessing the higher price is to cover tooling or manufacturing costs? as with normal round rims the holes are just punched out while the rims are still in a long flat srtip, maybe its harder to do circles then a square? I'm probably talking rubbish though lol

sweet just a quickie dave The UCI w/c and BIU round is on this weekend to, not sure if you knew?

heres a video I found of ot pi's final ecer demo in Itadori last summer, was kool to be there and actually watch it, not the best riding ever by a long way but great to see a true legend ride. HERE

hey joe how long until those rims will be available 2 months as well?

i'm up and ready whenever

i know which ones you mean im up some different ones this afternoon in the same wood, but Im up for those ones you said tomorrow morning maybe?

parts are looking great joe, good to see what they look like after seeing the drawings, steerer tube design looks an intresting concept whats the reasoning behind it? a stiffer structure?

ali give me a call when you can

im tempted seems like a good laugh with the people that are going, im just so busy around then, i'll have to see what i can fit in
