How about a nice August get away ? .......... I am thinking of doing a North Wales October gathering , had some rather nice info last night . Had to postpone my last one due to Mum having a heart-op , but a good weekender up here is on the cards for October so slam us a nice one in the middle between now and then . I get paid on the 15th of every month , so any jollies planned either have to be known well in advance or the weekend after I get pennies ........ cos I like spending them little bastages

just wondering what your thoughts are on dropper seatpost? Are they worth it..is it one of those essential bits of kit that once you have you cant live without. Being a weight weenie I didnt fancy losing the kcnc post but I see a few manufacturers doing them now..cheers

I have one and think its amazing......I ride with my seat quite high, so as a result, every jump or drop i was going over the front ofthe bike as couldnt get off the back easily........have he reverb and enables me to easily balance my weight etc.

Wouldnt ride without it now.
