Yip and it can also get you a swift smack to said fractured skull from your new wife!

I don't need a skills park ......

"Brake pads wear out! Put new ones in before you arrive for the race and for your own sake bring a couple of spare sets particularly if you have weird or unusual (or OLD!) brakes! And use metal pads if possible, they howl like banshees but don?t disintegrate at the first hint of moisture." From the SabieX e-mail received and on their website .......

DB - clearly you know I didn't

I have now done 4 Sabie's and 3 pre rides ( my boet the same) on Crossmarks with no problem ..............

All I see is $$$$$$ in my LBS owner's (son-in-law) eyes ..............

Will do mate. He's gone to ride the TT anyway even though they will be 'non-finishers'! We only riding at 9:30 .......

Yip! The little guy is really disappointed cause his partner bailed yesterday. And he's been riding like a champ ........

Nope on the Epic, man it rained - frikkin heck! Shifters not working properly anymore, broke 2 spokes on the back wheel and wore out the brake pads front and back ........... Even worse it is raining again today but luckily only 26k's of mud today ......

Shoulda taken a video at SabieX yesterday could easily have been titled 'how to ruin a bike in 1 day' ..........

Hey it passes the time .......

Mavics? Maxxis Crossmark, work for me ........

Not me ....... will ride with the CrossMarks whatever happens. Done it a few times before and it was OK!

Hey MTBaaaiiiifing, is Sash OK?

Gonna try to leave early (10am) Friday ........ can't wait!

DD you should be embarrased December huh?

Gotta get LBB one of those ......... he'll look so 'suave' !

Don't be hasty mate, Dirt-Rider will be here any minute to advise taking the Raleigh RDS 9.0 ..

IMHO .... Good - Santa Cruz blur 2006 - mostly XT components Ugly - Giant Anthem 2 2006 - upgraded with mostly XT components Bad - Stevens F9 2006 - mostly XT components Just kidding but if the Stevens is an FS and they have pulled out of the country I would avoid that (purely from a spare parts support point of view!).

ditto. and i have bar ends on my risers? But then again you're ghey

Squirt normally and Finishline WetLube for em real muddy days!
