wouldn't make any difference, it's a panel vito with full steel bulkhead: no heating in the back. ICE BOX!!! got an electric blanket now :-)

The reality in the UK: went up North Wales first DH after the snow was clear off the uplift road 2 weeks ago coz I just had to ride, - slept in the van down at cyb and it was -3! I wouldn't really call it sleep :-/

WTF UCI bring on penny farthings and multi coloured lycra, I'm sure Rob Warner could commentate it :-/

I drink loads of black coffee in between race runs, doesn't work! two bottles of red wine the night before? doesn't work either! tbh I can't see doping making up for my (or anyone's) lack of skills! - I just want to ride :-)

Rad, I had a GT BMX back in '82, in black chrome, quality bike, on the other hand I broke two Giant frames clean in half, I still don't trust them, it's hard for some manufacturers to make the transition - just look at Haro! Props to the Athertons, i've been to Revolution and it is a steep mud shoot!..this vid..and these lines, WOW great work, and great for the UK scene :-)

Thinner is the way forward but the bearings are always gonna give trouble, these Tiogas are only 1mm thinner than my Canfield Crampon classics. I bought the Crampons to get more clearance after the V8's I was running on my xc bike nearly sent me off more than once, I have put in about 2000k with the crampons and finally the drive side bearings disintegrated half way around the Llandegla black - replaced the bearings (£4 each form a local supplier) and drilled and tapped them with 12 extra pins per pedal, they've been to the Alps twice on a Blur and now live on an Uzzi I use for DH - amazing grip now i've sorted the convex issue with extra pins and apart from replacing the bearings every year or so - are pretty much indestructible, an expensive pedal when new and with problems - but can be killer :-)
