I will join you but I will drive there,Last year I rode from Tranmere to LLandegla only did the blue then home,That was a good ride .Post your next date up here please.

Just a thought if you trying to get fit for this big ride,lets ride from here to llandegla one saturday/sunday in the near future,poss do the blue aswell ,We can meet up at the pub just past the 2 mills think its the Yacht ,then go from there.We can have dinner there if needed, a coffe at least.

I'd do that, 1st week in May preferred.

Just been told of this company....

http://www.superstarcomponents.com/

Very tempted to get the discs, stem and bars for the new build.

Bargin prices aswell.

I use superstar all the time there stuff is spot on ,after the sram pg990 for my hard tail but they dont do sram so I will prob have to buy from chain reaction.
Go for May the 5th or 6th then ride to Llandegla and back ,I will put that in my diary.

Sound as.

If you in dire need of a cassette try Snow & Rock on the A41, find the cheapest price and they honour it.

Just buying the bulk components this month for a new build, will be selling old parts off this one (bulk deal if anyone wants it)

Parts which will be getting sold are as follows...

2009 GT XC1 Aggressor frame.
Avid Juicy 3 with Askima pads (half worn) and nearly new Organic Juicy pads, either Avid discs or 203mm Shimano XT discs.
Thompson Elite seat post 27.2 diameter
Marzocchi 120mm forks (usable just need a clean and some new grease) these use a 15mm axle which can be supplied but not hub unless the price is right.

Wyat do you think thats worth?

Phil let me no what you want for brakes forks disc

trek 3500 (2010) ... hopin to get took on permanent where i work now so i can get a decent bike on the cycletowork scheme

I have been round LLandegla sevral times on a fully rigid 1993 Kona Lava Dome and it was ok ,just used my brakes more going down hill.
Llandegla is user friendly to bikes really no big rocks like inners or glentress .

Had a cracking ride to Delamere, racked a fair few miles up!

Met Steve aka flybynight @ The Hooton Arms pub in eastham at around 10am (was a little late from being in work late)

Rode to Delamere via Oil Sites road, nice an safe trip to the forest.

Had a buttie an cuppa then done a couple of the desents, changed alot since I was last there!

Got covered in mud fell off 4 times due to it being a mud slick LOL


Here are the stats for the ride

http://app.strava.com/activities/6718121

Was gutted the app turned off as I carried on round the Wirral back to Parkgate.

All in all it was a cracking ride, if any other wiki wirralers want to join just ask!

Also Steve it was 45 mph down the hill! Far easier riding down it than up haha

Had a delivery this week from the parts I bought from Superstar components.



Not happy with the colour mis match on the rotors, you can't notice it when they are fitted.

Also fitted a Hope V2 rear brake last week...



Awsome stopping power! Well worth the asking price, well made and easy to fix, bleed and adjust.

Llandegla tomorrow morning on me bill, trying to see how quick I can complete the Black run. Hopefully the phone app will record it all without mishap.

That app is amazing Phil,you will prob do Llandegla in around 1hour 20 min.Why do you need brakes anyway you never stop ha ha .

You were bob on m8, good news is I never fell off haha

What's the app Phil ?

Strava, need to make sure if you use it that the phone is in a bag and not pants pocket as the signal can cut off.
