Was that the black or red run Mike?

My MTB'ing isn't going so well since I posted (a long time ago) in here. Bike is great but I need to get out on it more. Went through a phase of going to Llandegla most weekends but now the weather is better (sort of!) I've slackened off and am spending more time on SV.

Car park open till 9pm Mon-Thurs (it's summer hours). Cafe is 5.30pm except on Wednesdays when it's 8.30pm for the BBQ. May see you there at some point!

Black run Chris, except for that up and down faffy bit near the end.

I really want a downhill bike now...

Looks fun. Of course I know I don't have the skill, conviction and lack of fear to nail those routes. :P

But I bet you can pedal-flip just as well as that guy, that's the first step.

Bike serviced.......fully cleaned and fettled.....next weekend - 35miles of fun. Woop.

Not ridden for 6 or so weeks - so unfit - time to get back on it like a car bonnet.

FFS! Cleaning a full-sus bike is a right pita! 2.5 hours to clean the Trek last night, but it is not pristine by any stretch... All those nooks and crannies on the suspension parts

Luckypants · 27-06-11, 10:34 AM

errr yeah, so bike cleaning gurus, what do you do to clean a suspension bike? Jet Wash the worst off? Sponge? How to clean all the little nooks?

mattSV · 27-06-11, 12:30 PM

Mike - I use this kit - jetwash, spray with muc off, agitate with brushes, rinse off.
