Re: Thanks guys for a great weekend and you all made me and my daughter very welcome. Loved the course , really nice layout . Well done Nick for all your hard work , nice one.

Gerard I took my Kona with splashbacks on a bit of bikpacking last Sunday. The tyres were fine on the dry bridleways , light gravel and sandy surfaces . Bit sketchy on soft sand. Fast on hard pack and no punctures . So actually fine for most things I do on a retro MTB in this part of the...

Wouldn't use mine seriously off road, but with tan walls and fast rolling on tarmac they do a job on a retro bike that doesn't venture into the dirt .

I really enjoy my Giant Anthem 29er , but there is something special about a steel retro non suspension bike . In fact the 94 Kona lava Dome is heading to Thetford tomorrow (-:

Good call Gerard. Had some on a Santa Cruz I owned , in 2.1 . Great all rounder

splashbacks for me too, in 1.8 , front and rear. . Not used them in wet claggy conditions though. What's a good back up tyre for the wet?

Been to Arnhem a number of times but will definitely check this out next time. If you live in the East of England there's an overnight ferry to the Hoek , then it's a 100 mile ride. Mates have done it on road bikes and they allow an easy 8 hour ride, flat and lots of cycle paths.

Much appreciated , I'll free some memory space on my iPad to receive. Is it cash payments or do you accept clapped out shimano parts?

Sorry hotwheels no one said I had to have a certain post count to attend??

Running position , check Fairy lights , check It's all the other stuff I've got to sort out (-: cheers fellas
