yes please.
can anyone bleed a front & rear Hope C2 brakeset in the field?
I have the bike built and running, but the brakes are dry
have the dot 5.1 fluid, but not the knowledge

Why are they dry is the question you need to ask?

They aren’t a hard brake to bleed. But that’s assuming pistons move ok , and seals aren’t gone etc.

Shout out for anyone who's going, do you happen to have one of these you could bring over to the Kona stand?

I've got one on the way but obviously it won't get here in time before I leave on Wednesday.

this is an observation for those judging the show and shine

last year i saw this time and time again, if you don't know what i'm referring to then frankly i'm disapointed in you. if any judge spots this then that bike should not be anywhere near the podium.

You are correct. Stick on XTR decals have no place on a show bike



































And and those chainrings need sorting too

The state of the grass is, well, i’m lost for words. Used a quick link on the chain as well.

Someone asked me earlier if you can pay on the gate to enter?

He doesn’t use the web much and doesn’t buy stuff online etc.

Pretty sure that's a no no.

The website states you can pay on the day. Entry will be a lot slower & more expensive. If you book online before Thursday it,ll be cheaper

How much more can it get

I’ve told him best to book online if he wants to go and offered to do it for him and take the cash if needed.

Made it nice and smooth to Newent for setup tomorrow. So roll call, who else is going, and what do we make of the show n shine news? Is Doddy really gonna take pics of every entrant?



I'll be attempting not to stack it on the enduro on the big bik so I won't be entering anything this year. I will be doing the retro xc on the Saturday. Should I wear the XL 96 lycra bottoms that'll likely slip down and clash with the 97 bike?

I've some decals if you wanna pop around the Kona stand and give me the password. I've also got some duplicate catalogues and promo stuff for swaps too... regardless come say hi
