how did it go on the wyegate elvis ?

Oh good, I was hoping that this would disappear.

The truth is my attitude was shite! I was unprepared,a as it was only a bit of fun.

Ok ok, the real truth is that before I even got to the off-road, somehow I had a puncture after 2 miles of Tarmac, I knew I hadn't brought a spare tube as I always ride on mooses so said to the boys I was with that I was going back to the start to fix it and would catch them up. The bike went straight back onto the van and I went home sulking like a real big baby. I called myself obscene names all day, but I am feeling ok again now.
To casual and to confident, I never even carry a bum bag when doing enduros. need to make some changes before the corinium (trials tyre again)

So I still ain't been up the pant glas steps, maybe I'll tie in with you guys for a Sunday ride out soon.

paul green told me it was fine to put a mousse in a trials tyre ! any thoughts cos me want no flat on corrinium !

Gar you do what you want, but I recommend you use a tube cos not only did mine come off, but my mates did as well. And if you do run a tube use around 12psi in it. There's not much chance of a puncture at this venue but it can happen.

Fuck me elv I didn't have you down as a pouter    some times you got to ride for fun and just enjoy yourself

squirt expanding foam in your tube gar

Better off squirting it in his lugholes ......lol......

Ive always used tubes for the Corinium as the void in a trials tyre is bigger than a enduro tyre and i have seen other peoples tyres come off the rim. Maybe a brand new moosse will be ok!!

I will be purchasing a new ultra heavy duty tube.
