Let's offroad / mountain bike / mtb / ride dirt

Ah! couldn't actually remember what forks were on there. I could have added a semi colon and closing bracket but didn't want to sour the message.

That all sounds quite sensible, are you ok? colon closing bracket

I can any may just switch it over, lets see how much energy I have after a week on the snow. Also as the only times it's been offroad propper are that time we went out and exactly one year later i'm tempted to wait until the first bank holiday of the year to launch it as a permanent offroader (dear god tynan please don't let me be that silly)

Do it, that bike deserves to be offroad.
What parts do you need to get the specialised beater back on the road?

Additional thanks for not using the infuriating emoticons.

brakes + grips at a bare minimum. i'm going to replace a few more bits though because it went unchanged/loved/serviced/cleaned for 10 years and it just felt/handled really odd.

I'm going to add a few nice new bits to the on-one once it's retired from commuter duty too.

I've got an LX front Mech and some XT rapidfires (Front and rear 8speed) if you're in need.
May have some LX cranks and isis BB going spare too unless Horatio still wants them.

Cheers for the offer. It's going to be mono geared though.
It really shouldn't take much effort. The hold ups for doing it properly are my laziness and a stubborn BB that I'm going to have to take to matt to get removed.

Makes sense. Matt SBB right?

Yep.
Right, head down for some work now so I can get out early.
Enjoy your ride tomorrow, See you in the new year.

Quite possibly up for the 10th/11th need a diary check. Make sure you bump this thread closer to the date.

count me in. maybe I'll have my new frame by then...

Anyone up for riding on the 17th or 18th as well? Getting a puppy tonight so think I will be too busy this weekend...

hey, you're finally getting your pup!

i might be good for some mtb'ing for that weekend. hope ground stays frozen!

No idea about the 17th/18th but this weekend is definitely happening.
I suspect, diary allowing that I'll want to ride as much as possible this year.

I may be up for this w/e. Sat or sunday?

i think we said sat didn't we objct?

and, object, if jim is up for this too, i reckon we should get the train, fuck driving, then i can't drink.

oh, and where are we going this weekend?

Yeah - Could do with a ride on my mountain bike... 10th or / and 17th... Count me in.

so, object?

This saturday. Jimbilly is up for it.
We need to hit up Prav to see if he still wants to come as he will have more ideas of routes but I quite fancy the south downs way.

Gabes, train it is but is alcohol necessary? Are you bender?

Yes I am!!! I really what to ride my MTB!!!!!!!!!!!

I may have a few friend's intrested as well.

Gabes, train it is but is alcohol necessary? Are you bender?

I just saw this bit. What the fuck???!!! I think you sir, may be a bit of a bender! CUNT!! Lots of love Jimbillyxx.

south downs way sound great to me, what train, to where, and at what time?

Oh, object, you don't have to drink, pansy.

I'm glad I don't have to drink but maybe just to spite you I'll turn up wasted like the last time I went mountain biking.

Prav. You're going to love my take on gears. 18 FTW.
And being my bike it can still do single or fixed with the same wheelset.

Is that a 3 x 6 setup, with a Hope pro 2 trials/single speed hub?

After silly amounts of research, Ive decided to go for that hub for my current build. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it (both with and without gears).

Fixed? is that some cunning disc mount type fixed cog?

In!
Early Saturday please?
...post-ride drinks on the train are mandatory. Re-Hydration innit.
