Great stuff Thanks for the info guys. The 2.1 crossmark/advantage are bigger than my current michelin 2.1 tyres so I think I will go for those as I want something a little bigger. The small size difference front to back sounds OK as long as the carcus is the same. I have a tubeless setup [...]

Good stuff. Theres great potential for a new section at the end of Brashy track. Sad news about the fungus problem. I hope Penhydd re-opens this year. I’m bustin to ride it.

Roll on the summer & dusty trails. It will be great to ride Penhydd again. I hope they just improve the boggy and boring fire road sections. There’s that really wide long descent after brashy track before a boggy patch and then frog corner. Theres good forest to the side of that descent which would [...]

I always slack off a bit this time of year and then get back into the swing of things in Jan. Just seems to be a cycle I follow every year. The enthusiasm is really coming back now. I rode into work this morning and it felt fantastic. Starting to think a lot about cycling [...]

Hopefully the site will pick up next year when more people are thinking about MTB when warmer, dryer weather is with us. It’s incredible how such a busy site died overnight and i’m sure there are lessons to be learnt from this. The old site did have a certain charm didn’t it?

Cheers guys. Lots of recommendations for the advantage so i’m going to have a look at those as well.

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll check out some reviews. I’ve been using the old type Michellin wildgrippers (now called XC mud but they are not outstanding in mud) in a tubeless which have been a good all round tyre and are great for trail centres. Now im mainly riding muddy stuff and winter is around [...]

Hi There – Yes it’s sold now sorry.

Bought a 2nd hand Sub5 as a bit of fun/project a while back and liked it so much I stopped riding and have sold my other bike. I was planning on spending 2.5K on a bike next year but I wont bother now. Just goes to show you don’t have to spend a lot to [...]

Thanks Mickey i’ll try one of those and let you know how I get on if it happens again which I’m sure it will. I’ve considered weapons or kicking the dogs but as the owner/owners are sometimes present and are moronic enough to let dangerous dogs off the lead in the first place chances are [...]

Hi Steve. I just got your message. Sorry I dont use the mobile much. You can have a look at them evenings or weekends m8. Do you want to come over tonight? Colin – Sorry m8. I did not see Steves message. If Steve does not like them i’ll send you a PM about the [...]

Hi Colin yes still available M8. I can send you a picture when I get home if you PM me your e-mail address.

Difficult and probably not best for non mediacally qualified people to advise you on this one Herrvonsiemens. My personal unqualified view is that if you enjoy and are going to be doing a lot of cycling then why not do some complimentary training too. Have you tried any other forms of exercise m8? I have [...]

It is possible that the bike will be stripped and the parts sold on e-bay. Another thing that you could try Tom is doing a search for various items from your bike within a 20 mile area from a Newport or Cardiff postcode. Hard to identify parts from a new bike I know but if [...]
