I have a LI-ION battery and NIMPH battery, which is about 9 hours run time, but it won't be enough run time for the Relentless 24 in October. If anyone else runs these lights it would be a huge help to get my hands on another battery or two.

Thanks..:) ]]> MTB Forum Michaelmcc84 http://www.madmtb.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5230 <![CDATA[Mountain bikers, do you feel your flatmates don't understand you?]]> http://www.madmtb.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5211&goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:38:43 GMT ****

I've been moved home from Scotland for five glorious months now and I'm still crashing with my parents. Do you know how hard it is to find a room to rent if you own a bike or two? Apparently they don't make garages anymore.

"Ah sure just lean your two grand's worth of bike up against the wall in the back garden, it'll be fine."

I can't be the only one having this problem! I hope not anyway.

The solution, I reckon, is to live with other people who like bikes too and would be cool with keeping them securely indoors. I'm not talking about performing open bike surgery on the kitchen table or leaning them against the TV whilst everyone else is trying to watch Mad Men or something. Just y'know, keeping them somewhere out of the way, but safe.

So yeah, if any of you find yourselves in the same situation over the next while and would be up for getting a place together, send me a PM. Don't really mind what area, but within pedalling distance of 3Rock would be nice. I'm no Nigella in the kitchen but I know how to work a dishwasher! :)

The bikes and shed were pretty well locked, well so I thought anyway. The two bikes are as follows:

1. Specialzied Stumpjumper Comp ’08, 19”, black with blue trim. Recently had new wheels added (blue hope pro 2 hubs and Mavic 819 rims on ust Ignitors) and also had the brakes upgraded to Juicy 7s

2. Bianchi Pista 57cm (’06 I think) with yellow Stelle Italia saddle and yellow schwable tyres.

If anyone comes across any information re either bike I would be grateful if you could contact either myself or the gardai.

I’m writing from the base of Nevis Range in Fort William having recently set up a luxury mountain bike chalet holiday company there. As part of our events for female mountain bikers, I am currently organising a Girlie Downhill Camp with Helen Gaskell on the 1st – 4th of October, 2010. I just thought I’d send you an email to let you know about the weekend just in case any of your members might be interested in coming.

I have made a up a flyer on our website: http://trailab.com/welcome/featured_events.htm?e=17. Please feel free to get in touch should you have any questions.

Thank you,

Hi guys!
i am a complete newcomer to the world of mtb-ing, having just purchased a hardtail mountainbike i am quite keen to find off road trails that would ease me into the sport. My fitness levls would be quite high as i also play football. Could anybody tell me where would be the place to find some off road tracks that a beginner could handle?

Cheers! Oisín :D
