DISCLAIMER. MOUNTAIN BIKING CAN BE DANGEROUS. YOU JOIN US AT YOUR OWN RISK.

SAFETY BRIEFING.

  • Wear a helmet. Despite recent advances in medical science, brains still cannot be mended nor replaced.
  • Wear gloves or mitts. Hands often hit the ground first. Cuts and grazes invite infection and a hospital visit.
  • Wear eye protection, it only takes a twig or thorn to lose an eye. Crud catchers are a good idea in mucky weather.
  • When downhilling, for your own protection, allow plenty of space behind the rider in front.
  • Bring a bare minimum emergency tool kit and a spare inner tube.
  • Breakdowns are a bore. Plan not to have any by ensuring your bike is in perfect working order.
  • Punctures are also tedious. You can minimise them by fitting latex tubes, slime tubes or running tubeless tyres.

Re: FREE FREE Quality shed loads of stuff for sale or FREE FREE

Hey Duncan, Yes possibly still interested in the helmet, sorry to be a pain but any chance I could try it on first? Main problem with my current one apart from being old and fairly disgusting is that I can't get it to fit right!

I do have quite a big head (no jokes, thanks) so it may fit!

Is the trailer thing a tag along or a trailer? If it's a tagalong may also be interested?

Also definitely interested in the Beinn Islabikes.

Re: FREE FREE Quality shed loads of stuff for sale or FREE FREE

Oh also, if you've got any 26" tyres I'd also be interested!

Re: FREE FREE Quality shed loads of stuff for sale or FREE FREE

Hi Duncan,

Interested in some of the clothes, the fox forks and the trailer bike (I own 3 small children)
I'll give you a shout later.

Cheers
Neil

Hi Claire,
It's a tag along trailer bike thing. Older version of this

http://www.bicyclechain.co.uk/productdetails.asp?productid=27325&gclid=CN2juPmO6bkCFXDJtAodWGkA0Q

Needs a service but okay. Neil is also interested in this!!

Yes you may try it on And if the helmet fits......... you'd better be home by midnight.

This weekend would be good as trying to make room for two motor bikes and a moped!

Forgot to mention we also have a trail gator 3-7yr old compatible (as championed with much success by the Lyons and cook families) up for grabs

Re: FREE FREE Quality shed loads of stuff for sale or FREE FREE

Cheers Duncan I am around this weekend and not doing much so hopefully I can arrange to pop round and have a look!

Thinking of getting a tagalong to get the small one to nursery, so might pick your brains on that front even if Neil wants it. Tbh I think she might be a bit titchy for one at the moment.

Re: FREE FREE Quality shed loads of stuff for sale or FREE FREE

X-post on the trailgator, interested in that as well, will definitely pick your brains on what works well at what age!

Can I have dibs on the Islabikes Beinn if no-one else got in before me, happy to pay going price, Eddie is a bit small at the moment, but he is miffed that Clem's Isaac has gears and he doesn't! (Isaac, despite being younger is a giant and Eddie is a midget)

Re: FREE FREE Quality shed loads of stuff for sale or FREE FREE

Clem named his son after a bicycle!?!

Yes, can you come this weekend?
Am keen to shift everything & Fergs is away....please

Re: FREE FREE Quality shed loads of stuff for sale or FREE FREE

26" stans tubeless kit inc. rim tape, sealing rubbers (no latex)

Shimano winter boots size 44 (so could also be used with 43 feet and thick socks)

Re: FREE FREE Quality shed loads of stuff for sale or FREE FREE

Yes will give you a text/ring over the weekend and come round at some point.

Re: FREE FREE Quality shed loads of stuff for sale or FREE FREE

"Shimano winter boots size 44 - could be used with 43 + thick socks"

Still got 'em ? I've been promising myself these for years, but have never managed to justify the spend !

Re: FREE FREE Quality shed loads of stuff for sale or FREE FREE

Re: FREE FREE Quality shed loads of stuff for sale or FREE FREE

seems reasonable - I'd have to try them on first .

My wife is down CVC gym this evengin - OK to pop to yours once she's back ? ~9 ish, I reckon.

Re: FREE FREE Quality shed loads of stuff for sale or FREE FREE
