Evening chaps!!

Weather permitting (i.e. no thunderstorm), I plan on tagging along on the 'Grips' ride tomorrow evening.

Leaves from outside 'Grips' bike shop in Rayleigh at 7 sharp I believe?
Route heads across through grove woods I think and makes it's way to Hockley to tackle various tracks through and around the woods.

From what I hear, and tagging along very briefly before when I bumped into then, it's quite a fast pace ride but should be good

Any takers?

Yes meeting at shop.
2nd meeting point is Hockley woods 19:30.

Ev Second meet Hockley 7:15 Is it. I'll call shop tomorrow.
Bring lights :thumbup:

If anyone driving to Hockley I had my car broken into at woods car park Bull pub better place to park.

I will be there. hopefully with inflated tyres and some grip?

Think the guy also said they arrive at outskirts of Hockley woods (from Rayleigh direction) at 7:15

I'll either ride to Rayleigh for start or meet at one of the stops.. If I'm feeling energetic I'll make it to Rayleigh start but will prob peel off on way back

I had to pump both tyres up before taking VW-Dog out last night, got home, getting stuff ready for tonight and the front goes flat again? the tyre is seated, has sealant in there and still goes flat?
So i'm going to have to put a tube in for tonight :evil:

and that will be my excuse if i am slow or suffer with any grip issues :lolno:

Also While my bike is in my office i will be tinkering with the rear brake and trying to get the damm thing to do what its meant to.!

Is it a sticky piston on the juicy 3's you've got.

Just the opposite, they keep retracting back into the caliper? suggestions might be not enough fluid in there? Seems plausable, its like theres a vacume in there pulling them back in?

Air in the system could cause this.. When did you last bleed them...

All sorted now, topped up fluid and adjusted lever reach, this seems to of sorted it.
Mud guards on and inner tube fitted

That reminds me, I must put something around the dropper post to protect from mud..

Also need to buy myself a crud catcher / guard... But obviously too late for today

Just checked forecast and looks promising for the evening.. Should clear up this afternoon.
