  • Why me?!

  • You have more bikes than anyone else?

  • Lies. All lies. Tourer, fixed, MTB, Dutch bike, Death trap and, soon, road bike.

  • anyone ever see n the matt berringer s&m snow bmx?

  • You've always got to go one better hey?

    That is more bikes than anyone (I know) else.

    Not that I wouldn't have that many if I had the garage space..

    Would be happy with one bike that could cope with the snow.. Sure the steamroller will be fine with different tyres and a not-fucked front wheel.

  • Try Gav's place... That man has a bike harem.

  • Whatyaneed guys, it's Nitto Moustache bars and 28mm cross tyres. Enjoy while you can :-P

    Yeah!!!!

    Cold face though...

  • I have a 3 year old unused Ktrak kit still in the box and an old hard tail MTB up at the workshop ..... .... I think I'll put it together this afternoon and have a little fun when we go out sledding.

  • Damn, narrow slicks are good in snow because they'll cut through it like a knife and still contact the road, right?

    right?

    :'(

  • You have one of those kits? Amazing.

    I'm going to get some breakfast into me then take the mountain bike to UEA or Mousehold Heath.

    :)

  • I think you're thinking of rain.

  • Lies. All lies. Tourer, fixed, MTB, Dutch bike, Death trap and, soon, road bike.

    That sounds about right, nothing wrong with multiple bikes for different occasions, or that's what I've managed to convince the wife.

  • Sparky,

    I think me, stifler and donny are heading over to mousehold or ringland today, I'll give you a shout when we get there

  • That'd be good - I've just got in and warm, but sod it!

    right?

    Bit of advice on this topic on Big Ring Riding.

  • I looked at some knobbly tyres for my shitty hybrid today (it has slicks at the moment - I fell off as soon as I stood on the pedals) and it will of course cost me £30-£40 for a set. I might as well just get a second-hand mountain bike, do you reckon?

    Any suggestions or offers? If it matters then I'm about 6ft with relatively long legs, proportionally. I have to ride with a high saddle a very long way forward.

    My official budget is £0 but I could be persuaded to up that a bit. Bikes I have bought myself as an "adult" cost me £50, £70, £10 and £40, respectively. Only the £40 one is still running now. But I don't want to spend much more than that anyway.

  • What size wheels are on your hybrid? I've got a set of mtb tires with plenty of life left in them you can have for £5.

    erm, 700 x whatever? I think.

  • Ah, these are 26", sorry.

  • you have failed me for the last time.

  • Not really knobly but Vittoria Randonneur Trails in 700 x 32c+ should be an awesome snow tyre

    Last year i was riding from the hosqpital- dereham rd. on 28c standard Randos int snow with no hassle.
