NF is a good ride to begin with. Spruit you have to register on Strava first so you can be timed jumping turds, old ladies and poodles

Execution was fantastic! Scored a 9.4 out of 10 Marks were deducted for not falling into the drink and bending the left elbow

Thanks, now I know to avoid when I see it.

Eager beaver we have here... not even Friday and the first bit of *** has been flung

No issues on either of mine, got both SLX and XT and both stop the same... I have 180mm rotors in the front and 160 on the back. Stopping wasnt as good with a 160mm rotor up front, check what size you have. Rotor size does make a difference in stopping power.

I know how to use a torque wrench, not the first time I've used one either. I've used them for putting motors together so I know my way around tools. The bolt snapped when it shouldn't have. Simple as that. Few other instances of it as well

Santa Cruz torque specs are suspect at best for the rear shock bolt which bolts onto the linkage. They say 160in-lb which is 18nm The oke who put that in there must have been a gorilla of sorts, I snapped the bolt at 12nm so in my rage I got looking on MTBR and see im not the only one its happened to. Its the M8 x 40mm with a 12mm thread length as in the pic. Fortunately I got a steel one as a substitute from a mate, it works perfectly and Ive tightened that to 11nm, it has not budged a bit... not as long as I have a hole in my backside is it gonna come out. 18nm... that guy must have been smoking tik

maybe I should strategically place a mattress in the dark again

Yep Same crowd going as well and some more!

The only thing a Bryton Rider 21 is useful for is if you go fishing and drift downstream, you turn it on and see how fast the flow is taking you and the boat.

I seem to have been pretty lucky in the races Ive done, when Ive shouted STRAVAAAAA!! from the back people tend to make space for me to come past... they clearly know a KOM is first prize. Its like a parting of the ocean.

I wouldnt even hold them for fear of breaking them

I remember the days... almost brought a tear to your eye.

Like this...

Has Darryl not signed up yet to come give his version of events, isnt this how the hub works?

Do you have a camelfront?

We cant take you seriously until you have 1000 posts under your belt

If a goose wants to pass me Ill let her past because have you ever watched dogs racing, greyhounds?.... fokkit, check how they run when that tail takes off in front of them.

I am not gonna bite on this today, Friday is 3 days away.

Ive missed many pages on this thread... has there been a fight?

I think they should put some hot gooses on bicycles in there to get the readership up, like a Pirelli calendar

Let me ride her bike for a weekend and Ill return it with slicks Other than that Im not of much help, sorry

My advice is always best. If you have a problem, get an ice cold beer to drink while thinking about it.

Yours must be moertoe by now pal... you've had a long week
