all the best to all here , hope 09 has been good to you all and 10 brings better waves,wind and trails .
Al be up for some trail bashing/surf in 2010 so get ready .

I'm ready.

We're out for a snowy one today, and hopefully my new wheel will arrive along with some tools so that I can change the chain-rings and get my Commencal back on the trails as well.

See you soon.
Happy New year.

Al.

where u going Al? Ive got all those tools if u need them. Lots of snow here again.

We're just going to Talybont Woods....And then hopefully for a walk up Plynlimon.

The tool I needed was an ISIS compatible crank puller. No one seemed to have one around here so I've bought one, along with a new rear wheel!!

By the time I've got that on there I will almost have rebuilt my bike... New Bottom Bracket, new cassette, new chain, new chainrings, new grips, new rear wheel... It's an expensive sport this MTBing.

Al.

I cant believe youve nackered all that kit Al. Thats bad. Maybe u shud try changing your chain regularily then the other stuff may last longer. Most sprocket sets should see out 3-4 chains before needing changing.

You know me... Al the Destroyer!

Al.

I recn u do it on purpose, just so you can buy more toys
