I’ve just put a Schwalbe “Fat Albert” on the front of My mountain bike I got it cheap so thought I’d give it a go after using Maxxis tyres normally, I’m not looking for economy from it though, just to keep Me semi upright in the mud 
Please excuse Me for going off thread…
On a side note I had a blowout on the mountain bike I think it was a combination of broken glass and my fat arse been on the saddle for the first time in a few weeks.

Christ, I’d need a crowbar to prise that saddle from my crack. 
You’d be suprised OAD The SDG Belair is a very comfy saddle indeed…
I had one of these, mind you mine had pedals, it was the last bike I had, it got nicked though 
Had one of these before it
Did a full circuit of the Isle of Wight on the Dawes in about 8hrs, it would take me that long to climb on one nowadays 
I’ve never been in Bullys Bar before
No, me neither, not certain I like being moved on!!! Spoze we had it coming eh?

Now that’s a serious bit of kit, my Boardman is a playbike & no more, I ride with my son when he goes for a run & go on the Cheshire Lines which is the closest I get to trail riding. I do enjoy it though!!
Ross.
Take yourselves over to oneplanetadventure @ Llandegla forest near Ruthin Ross, you will thank me for it, do the blue trail as a starter only take you an hour but you’ll be back for more, I took Joe Screen ex Belle Vue Aces etc He loved it, most blokes who have ridden motorbikes I’ve taken rave about it, if you don’t like it which is doubtfull the cafe is smashing!!!
The Guy who bought it has it for racing in the alps, it was too much for Me really but the downhills where like being in an arm chair, I’ve got a Yeti 575 now which is a nice bike & funnily enough I bought it second hand & its the only one I’ve kept. Off to Cuyuana on My hols next weekend just wish I had lost some pudding before\ I go, got a week there on the trails, probably will have lost some by the time I get home.
I have now got an I-shift in My new truck & think its garbage just to keep the thread on course for the padlock

Automated box’s are the work of the Devil!!!
I’ve got a week off soon so I’ll get there with my 12yr old son & give it a go, funny you should mention Joe Screen cos a good mate of mine also used to ride for Belle Vue (Declan Eccles) & he’s ‘right into’ his ‘downhill’ & has spent thousands on his bike, in fact he paid more for a rear shock than my bike cost!! He’s got a place @ a ski resort in Eastern France & they use a ‘black run’ in the summer for downhill biking.

PS keep up the good ‘padlock’ work eh;)

My mate rang me and told me about a great deal he got this week and he had just picked it up.
He said I have just bought a Giant composite road bike, it was such a good deal & so cheap I just had to have it!
Steve, £1200 quid isn’t cheap when you comer from Yorkshire 
Have any of you got his and hers cycles for the other half?
I find it so difficult choosing the right colour

Hello John, if a balloon flight isn’t already on your bucket list then I think that you really should pencil one in .
