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

Fair play nhatt - you need to hit those cobbles hard to make up for this!

I have already swapped some bouncy forks onto the polo bike, so will probably go round RP / Wimbledon Common tomorrow to investigate the new A3 crossing I read about in LCC magazine and get stoned some reading done.

Secretly relieved because:
a) my arms are killing me from removing a stuck seatpost yesterday.
b) I hurted my knee trying to emulate my Ukranian classmate's Cossack dance today.

trails are super-buff at the moment :win:

wooo, I just bought one of these

It should be posted on Tuesday so I'll be ready for some offroad action next weekend hopefully and the week after.

Who wants to go to Dorking?

1. moog
   

I'm up for it but most likely during the week as it's hard for me to get weekends off.

Hmmm.
Maybe Monday?

My bike won't be here by then =[

Nice one moog. I'm free most Thursdays, Fridays, Sundays.

OT - Does anyone have a spare front disc wheel to sell?
Just a hub / taco'd wheel would be a great too.

Got a black hope pro 2 front hub at home

Assuming it's the hub you want.

cheers Em, millhouse beat you to it and has offered me a dt Swiss hub.

This place is nuts.

Night riding rocks.

All of the Leg burner (but the opposite way round) plus half of the St Johns route.

Great time, its also Tuesday night riding, which as we all know, is just somehow better.

Don't suppose anyone wanted to go riding this weekend? Need to take the (finally assembled) On One out for a spin.

I do if my bike arrives, it was meant to be posted today but that didn't work out. Should be here by the weekend though.

Are you at Welo tomorrow? I'll talk to you about it then if you are.

Nope I won't be about sorry

Anyone got a top pull mtb dérailleur they want to give away/swap for beer money? 3 speed?

Cheers...

Shoes came today! Can't wait to give them a good run through now!

@Moogs Well, drop me a PM if the bike turns up and you want to go ridin'

Will do Tom, also talk to Prav tomorrow as he should be up for a ride. He's internetless at the moment so can't check on here.

I'll double check. Might have an old LX going spare. Will report back tomorrow.

Thank's Object. I was given a load of stuff by a mate, and I'm making my ss mtb geared, not sure why, other than I got given bits, mix of deore lx and acera. the front mech is bottom pull, and my frame has guides for top pull. Everything else is fine.

Thanks :)

Got some 8speed XT shifters if you want that 90s feel.

FOC of course.

I have shifters, deore (think) rapidfire sorta thingys, came off some specialized otp from about 3 years ago. got them free of the same mate as gave me the rest of the stuff.

Deore xt tripple crankset + rings, acera mech, 8 speed rear.

Thank's for the offer though.

You're all bastards. When I have a MTB back up and running again I'll work out a killer ride for any one interested.
