Very bright cheap spec torch for dogging in the winter! £5.20 from Honk Gong. It's supposedly 1000 Lumens, and runs on a 3.7v 18650 battery

LOL Dogging!! Looks neat though might be handy for some light painting photography you have a link from where you bought it m8?

Been wanting to get on the road with a bike for a while and really like the look of this



Used to pissing about on 06 rm125 and 07 yz250 crossers but not really had much shots of road bikes like the one above so going to have a think about it and if things work out i will consider doing all that's needed next year after winter

If your new to the whole mountain biking thing then a custom build might not suite beacuse to save the money you would have to build it yourself. So thinking back i think Ales_M would be right and just get one from a range .

If your stuck on Norco then the one you have listed or this one here http://www.norco.com/bikes/mountain/bc-trail/wolverine/ would be fine. . With the money you save on the wolverine you could put better wheels/forks and new groupset but i would leave that untill you have worn whats on the bike allready out

Do you have any good bike shops in you area? I would be inclined to head down to one and set yourself a budget and get them to spec you up a Custom built 130mm+ Hardtail that should be under 28LBS in weight . They can also tailor it to your needs and you get to choice which parts you want/dont want .

If i had that sort of money to spend on a bike i would build it myself picking every part mysefl but if your not comfy doing that then pay a little more and get somebody to do it for you

Thank you SOO much guys!

Sorry to say but you really are narrowing your choice down by just sticking with Norco. For that sort of money that you want to spend i would be looking elsewhere as the specs on the Norco's can be bettered from other brands

Quote from Ales_M :Well I missreaded that and yes if he plan to cycle/pedal long distances uphill then that defo is a bad choice. But to pedal to local hill and short distances its more then fine , trust me I can say from my own experience pedaling 20kg bike uphill But yeah as Billeh pointed if you wanna pedal you gotta look for xc/am tree , but then abusing is damn limited , parts brake. Just saying from my experience and to save your money.

Was just pointing out that is all .

My all mountain 07 Teocali super (5.75 inch rear travel about the same front) is a tad over 30lbs and its a bit of a hassle uphills but it can do it awsome fun on the downs though and for trail centers round Scotland its great even done World cup downhill at Fort William.

I would aim for a Hard hitting long travel / freeride hardtail and for that budget you could really build a great bike with far better specced parts than what would be on a full susser of that price


EDIT: Yeah that Fireball looks good but the spec of the components could be better and the front forks also could be better and with a little more travel. I would go no less than 130mm as it tends to give you a slacker head angle and feel better downhill and also give you a bit more to soak up more

Quote from ales_m :
Just make sure you dont buy some xc shit suggested upper , because u gonna brake it on first ride.

lol

Sorry for Edit but that norco shore 3 will weigh more than 30+ lbs and be a nightmare to cycle anything but downhill as its long travel and low cost and probably does not have any lock out on either the front or the back shock i would stay well clear

Quote from Forbin :Put these items on your immediate to-buy list:

leather jacket
leather gloves
leather boots
leather pants

If you have any objection to leather (religious or otherwise), you can easily find the jacket and pants in synthetic material (not mesh, avoid anything that says mesh). That might be a little more difficult for the gloves and boots, though.

Trust me, road rash sucks.

Well said goes without saying really you would have to be daft to go out on a croch rocket without above items

Quote from mrodgers :You guys can have your cars.

I've got one of these....



Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to hold a DX6i radio in my hands, control an airplane in the air, and hold a camera up to my eye all at the same time, so you have to settle with seeing just a stock picture.

Need to get me one of those $15 keychain cameras to record some flight videos. Can't talk my daughter into recording with the camera for me.


I highly recommend. It's a Parkzone Ultra Micro, a mere 16 inch wing span I think. Flies in the backyard. $99 over here both in BNF (Bind and Fly) if you have a Spektrum transmitter or same price for RTF with a cheapie X-Box controller looking 2.4GHz transmitter.

I like the sound of that m8 going to see if i can find one here in the UK . I have a 3 channel micro helli and a 4 channel one like this



cracking fun
