Went to CYB with Martinw today weather was great ride was brill, even better when Martin dampened my rebound on my fron fork after I complained about it juddering to much, the we had to cut the ride short after Martin was unlucky again to shred his brand new Mountain King Protection rear tyre. Rotten luck as it happened on the Dragons Back and he did the same on his last visit. He also nearly wiped out some silly old Biddy walking along Uncle Fester then her hubby apeared picking mushrooms. Totally creless when we warned her of the dangers.  Martin also didn't get any mushrooms with his Beasty Burger after the ride or cheese. I think she was fibbing Martin. ;D Third time lucky Martin. |

Thanks for a good ride today mate, just a pitty it got cut a little short although we did about 3/4 of it. Apologies for not putting a post up letting you know we were going, I wasnt sure until late last night. The ride for me didnt start too well with my gears jumping due to a stiff chain link, I sorted that and we were off. saw this and thought of the burger i was going to demolish at the trail center at the end ;D  Ady doing something?   In action  And a random pic  After uncle fester we stopped at the top of the hill for a breather and I noticed a gaping hole in my tyre with a big innertube bubble sticking out. Well that was the end of the ride for me, i was just glad i had done some of the best riding. I had to take off the tyre and stick plasters from my 1st aid kit to the inside of the tyre to get me home. It worked thank god. Take a look.   The white underneath is the plaster ;D The tyre is the protection type but i think the protection is only on the side wall. I will take it in to the shop to see if theres a chance of getting it replaced but i reckon it will be chancing it. Yeah my Beast burger was missing the mushrooms, Its ok because she knocked off 40p ;D dont buy one if your down there they are a rip off  |

Ady, I don't know about Catalogue pose, you look like you've just realised you've got a stiffee (and I don't mean a Cove), and your trying to not let it show. ;D

Well Ive got myself a new tyre to replace this one. On the advice of gar who rides on slate in the mines I got a conti Vertical protection. He swears by them and the tread pattern is slightly closer together.
Ive kept the 2.4 mountain king on the front because it digs in well on the trail.

Told Si about your tyre, he says you need to loose weight. |
