Just give it a bit of elbow grease now and again! I use turtle wax car polish and then give it wipe down with GT85.

Cheers! Go for it, hope it turns out well. I could do with better forks because these ones are a bit unreliable. Apart from that it's an awesome bike. So much fun to ride!

Magnificent! So often in the bike industry we've see good ideas fall by the wayside by being badly made. This was the opposite, a bad idea immaculately executed! The BBC even had this on Tomorrow's World. Someone rode it over ladder on the floor of the studio and nearly fell off!

Cheers, and don't get me wrong, I do like the track I just can't really justify travelling there to sit a field with no facilities and crap lifts when I can get to Fort William in about the same amount of time. I think the problem stems from Health and Safety rearing it's ugly head. (stay with me on this..) You used to be able to stand at the front of the trailer with your front wheel between your legs and this prevented it from getting damaged. But when health and safety dictated that the riders and bike had to be seperated, it all went to shit and resulted a lot of buggered bikes. I ended up pushing my bike up the hill in the end. If I smash something up through my own stupid fault I'm not too bothered, because it was my own stupid fault. I accept the odd scratch here and there from uplifts after all I've been getting them for 17 years and I always tape it where it will get damaged from riding. I just seen this as totally unacceptable. That's why I personally would never go back.

I can't figure out why you'd waste your time and money going there again, especially since you suffered from unnecessary damage as well. For me, it's a long way for below average track just to pay for the privilege of having your bike smashed up. I'll never go back there. It's pointless.

Yeah, that is pretty rubbish. It doesn't make sense on and island that invented trains and railways! Between Glasgow-Edinburgh and Edinburgh-Newcastle I went 1st class. I'd never waste my money on 1st again. It was crap and that made the trip from Fort Bill-Glasgow even more special.

Sapim Superspokes are really thin but also one of the strongest spokes available. The strength has much more to do with the profile and the material used to make them.

Excellent! At last, someone else who's done the same journey! It's impossible to express how amazing it is to anyone who hasn't seen it for themselves. I think I'll go by train both ways next year.
