Yeah, went and did the Raven trail a few weeks ago, wasn't very impressed to be honest, seemed to go up more than down and got lost near the end and ended up doing part of the loop again, I don't think it's very well sign posted. I want to go back and do Cwm Rhaedr though as everyone says that's the best trail, even though it is short, only 6km, you can do a couple of loops

Hi all. Quick question on rims and tyres. Can I run tubes and normal tyres on Stans tubeless rims?

Nice one. Cheers Drew. I've just received the final delivery of parts. Should have the bike built up by the weekend.

Just watching the mens mountain biking on the olympics. The Italian guy who is 4th at the mo (40 mins in) has a "single sided fork". Whats that all about? Will it make the bike lighter? Easier to change wheels? Please put a non MTBer out of his misery. I didn't watch the beginning of the race so the commentators may have discussed this already, and I've missed it.

It's a Cannondale 'lefty' fork. Never used one myself but here's some of the benefits it claims.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannond...spension_Forks Emily Batty in the women's race yesterday raced with a broken collarbone and finished 24th out of 30 riders which deserves a lot of praise. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/batt...ked-collarbone |

Anyone on here got any experience of Canyon bikes..? Nerve XC's in particular...?
For the price, the spec (and reviews) look amazing... |
