Daft Vader Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 The problem is most roadies want their MTB expirience to be like road rides but with a bit of dust' date=' hence the bobby socks, booties and water bottles. [/quote'] Yes, and they like to cut corners and widen the trails... Us MTBers like to corner, so please stop cutting the corners and making the trails straight.

Locking your rear wheel and destroying the trail is not concidered good bike control.

Yea, Tokai has been stuffed up because of people, riding around roots, puddles and rocks, for crying out loud if you dont want to ride ON THE TRAIL dont ride on the trail. When will people of mountain bikes realise that it is not "cool" to skid your bike
Spud Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Any good camel pack cleaning tips? The bicarb is not really working for me Have you tried Jik? I find that it works well.......just rinse the bladder REALLY well before using again.

Ooh, and I did another thing that's anti-establishment... I swapped the brakes around, so the right is the front now...

Nah, I needed to make it the same as the motard, I kept getting confused with the mtb being backwards...
Spud Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 i used a camelback yesterday at the crater cruise for the first time in my life i started with the race snakes (some people classify me as one aswell apparently) i hated every minute of it not only is it uncomfortable but a mission to drink out of no matter how hard i sucked on that bite valve after squesing it with my teeth i could only get a little tricle of liquid out everytime so by 50km i decided my bottle was my best friend and started using that again Are you sure the bite valve wasn't closed? They have a small lever which can 'open' or 'close' the flow of liquid..... just a thought What has also caught me in the past was on putting the bladder back after cleaning and filling was twisting or pinching the tube..............learnt very quickly to test as soon as I reassembled.
