My ride today,

[Zed]

I went out today for a mountain bike ride, i went through the local heath land and did a 40 mile ride through sand, stone mud, big puddles        i had a blast, i met my brother over half way and we did the rest of the ride together and i ended up going to my uncles i havnt seen for a while, it was a good day, and yes i took the wave for a little ride  me and my brother and our friend are going to do the lands end to john o groats next year, i better get some miles in 





stopped for a wispa

cheers ryan, now this isnt the most expensive bike ive owned over all these years, but other than a few things i need to change like the forks and a longer seat post im pretty happy with it, i did think the brakes would be a issue but after todays ride they seem more run in, i will strip its paint but the end of this year and go black  another bad colour with mud but i like black and not had many black bikes,

hmm nice, i will see, my friend does powder coating and another does decals so should be able to jazz it up a bit, i was thinking more stealth, black paint satin, and a different black for the decals,

Looks like you had a real fun time there mate! 

  was a very fun time, makes me realize how much fun im missing at not getting out as much as i did, just a shame my brother couldnt take any action pics, sadly the first leg of the ride had all the best stuff and i was alone, ill try and get some action pics on my next ride ,

[Zed]

i think this must be one of my favorite places to stop on my ride

24 to many mate, my light tourer has a nine speed cassette, this has a 8, i generally prefer a single speed SS, but need this too pull the trailer with the girls in it, and im not super fit these days , plus live in a hilly area ,   

[ryan1835]

mines 24 its a bit silly at times i think, i want to get a road/ hybrid bike but i only have room for one bike so ill stick to what ive got till it dies

i would love to try the Rohloff Speedhub gears, but the price  but for off road i bet they would work better overall, i nearly tore my rear derailleur off on a stump a few months back, so hubs woud be better for this,

and your not wrong mike , just me a few dog walkers and nothing for miles

The Rolhoff's only really work out reasonable if you buy them with a bike like a Thorn

Otherwise there just crazy money

I'm really wanting one of there childback tandem's at the moment

I'd love to get one of there fully equipped expedition bikes one day, but at nearly 4k I might just have to pass
