Re: Don't assume it's ever been serviced!

Completely agree, suspension components certainly have a shelf life and sometimes overlooked.
Found that out with my Thunderace "smokey joe"
The linkage was seized solid and was riding a hardtail.
Was not fun on track!

Re: If you're over 45 this will resonate

Well most of them,
And I'm only 36.
Love using cash where I can. (Just the face of young people figuring out change is amusing at times)

But do listen to music alot.

Re: 125cc rider Bristol

Some of the most fun rides are on a 125cc bike
Especially when you learn corner speed is your friend.

It doesn't matter what you ride as long as enjoy yourself, unless going our for a silly speed blatt (not that we do that)

Re: WOW.. Expensive!!!!

Unfortunately it's the way everything is going. I agree that trackdays are fun, but would struggle to spend that sort of money on a day. Euros still seem sensible though at the moment. But when a forest day is £45 and greenlanes are free, That's where I'm going to be. And playing with the electric b...

Re: locks and chains

Almax or Oxford boss chain.
22mm chain links.
But word of warning, the chain is 1kg per link!
