....ahh suspension....your not going soft are you? :-)
Nelly - Yep, it's overlooking Entwistle from near Greens Arms Rd. And yes, the gate is a bit redundant these days!
Sefton - what do you mean 'going' a bit soft?! ;0)
What ever next...(gears)?Quote:

Me, the lad and a mate went to Belgium recently to the Singlespeed European Championship. It was one of the best and maddest weekends of my life!

The big gay pile ons were the aftermath of the Lancashire/Yorkshire drinking competitions!

For a tenner each they were a bargain. Now at all wrong with mine. Paul bought 4 and his were all bob on too. Happy days.

A 14 miler on my SS MTB (converted a couple of months ago from my daughters broken old Saracen 18 speed mtb bike) today with lots of hills to get me out of the saddle. Mostly bridleway/track but a couple of miles of road as well. I think I may have buckled the front wheel though but it will have to wait a bit before I replace it. Chain needs re-tensioning and brakes need adjusting quite a bit as well after 4 outings so I am either working it hard or that is normal wear an tear for a SS MTB ? :D
I think I may well relent and go SS now. The poor old mtb ges a right battering every winter. Be good to have something easier to maintain
18.5 miles and 2200' on the SS today. I mainly followed a MTB route I found on the Rossy Harriers website http://www.rossendaleharriers.co.uk/...20Cragg001.bmp with a few modifications (gained some distance but lost some climb :o) plus I started and finished from home.
Sanderson 69er back to Single-Speed for winter including a tasteful new chain
Nikalas; quite Luuuveeerly!. From a position of complete ignorance: Would it be feasible to fit a rear wheel with a Shimano Alfine 11 hub gear, into that configuration, using the bolt-on chain tensioner?? Just a thought for a (wide ratio) geared on/off road winter bike without a low slung derailleur to pick-up snow then ice up!Quote:
