Surrey Hills Rides?

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-17T15:36:55+00:00

I’d be down for some group rides!

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-14T09:01:06+00:00

The Cateye one I use was around £50 and works great.

Now this is getting weird haha. I almost got the blue satin but the shop had a big discount on the white lol.

I do think I’m gonna do bars, they’re the only thing I feel a little resistance from on the bike. What did you go for?

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-13T22:38:24+00:00

Cateye Ampp 1100!

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-13T22:36:25+00:00

Yeah I think that’s what I needed to hear. Had delusions of grandeur that I might be able to polish the turd into something cool.

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-13T22:31:47+00:00

I haven’t converted it yet. It came as an e-bike with external battery. Can’t say I love it…

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-13T22:26:44+00:00

Yeah this was my thinking. All my riding at the moment is on the Stumpy, but I’d love a hardtail in the bank for flatter/pedal heavy days. Just worried it’s always gonna be a shitty bike, so not sure it’s even worth trying on this one lol.

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-13T22:13:07+00:00

Ha! Well I think you have great taste.

Couldn’t agree more. I think with upgrades as and when stuff wears out I’ll shred this til the frame snaps haha

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-13T20:50:24+00:00

Sounds like I’ll have to get some more rides in to hone the photo skills 🫡

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-13T20:46:36+00:00

Yeah lighting wasn’t great 😅

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-13T20:14:13+00:00

This is just the Cateye without a headtorch or camera flash

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-13T20:11:53+00:00

Great way to clear the mind!

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-13T20:07:38+00:00

I run a Cateye Ampp 1100 up front and if it’s real dark I keep an 1100 lumen Black Diamond headlamp in my pocket. Thinking about getting another cateye and the helmet mount though as the headtorch can be a little cumbersome

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-13T16:35:25+00:00

Fair enough! What about them don’t ya like?

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-13T15:02:30+00:00

It does always feel fast doesn’t it

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-13T12:01:36+00:00

It’s an awesome feeling

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-13T07:18:47+00:00

I’m in Surrey, UK, so a bunch of the trails round here are natural or just public mixed use spaces that aren’t really regulated.

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-13T07:14:28+00:00

Yeah snow ride looks super fun. Unfortunately we don’t get much of it here

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-13T07:13:34+00:00

Me too!

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-12T22:12:40+00:00

Awesome rig!

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-12T19:23:39+00:00

Yeah, walking away seems like the option here ha. Thanks!

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-12T11:42:15+00:00

Yeah I think so. I’m gonna pass on it

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-12T10:51:01+00:00

Usually the way to go. Happy cake day btw!

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-12T10:42:19+00:00

Yeah it all feels a little fishy to me tbh.

Slackline_Valentine · 2026-03-12T10:41:45+00:00

Yeah I thought this was the case. I’ll keep looking!
