Nice bike

Mountain bikers I'm not sure of, Swinley Forest is the closest trail area I can think of near the area...

There's load of local org'ers tho, say hi in the Soho or Guildford Massive sections

This month's MBUK just came through the post. On the cover of the 2011's Sexiest Bikes & Kit booklet...

Intense M9 FRO



Looks amazing in Lotus F1 colours. Shame the colour scheme won't be on sale.

Woo! Chainreaction delivery just arrived. New tyres, some spares and new pedals for the hardtail. Was a disappointingly small box for 150 odd quids.

Tonight I will be mainly changing tyres.

Shimano XT & Dura Ace turn up in small boxes that cost a lot of money too

Maxxis Minnion 2.35 front (super tacky) to cling to wet rock/roots on the advice of my daughter's b/f and another cyclist whose opinion I respect.Maxxis Advantage 2.1 rear (standard) as it has great traction I'm told by several folks. Will see how they perform ASAP.

Mmmmm I wish! The SLX on my new bike seems to work very well though.

To be honest, with gear shifter sets I've never really understood spending a excessive amount. The only real advantage seems to be weight, and its a lot of money to lose a few grams. I see it as "if it works who cares"?

Man, im not liking these dark nights... makes actually getting out to use my bike a bitch!
