ooh triple fail.
you need to press 'paste'
or try editing!
keep trying, why is this bloody site so difficult to link to?
this better be worth it. If I was you I'd take a minute, mow the lawn, take another picture and try again

Bugger beaten to it by fast finger GeeWavetree 😥
how can you not click on the IMG button and paste?? do you need help with pelican crossings?
Too slow 😆
Don't know why, but the IMG function just won't work for me.
Bike now minus reflectors etc.
Only managed one ride and now the bloody g/f has infected me with her tonsilitis so i can't ride 🙁
I never bother with it. Just put the link [img] here [ /img] without spaces. HTH
very orange
'tis a bit - my other 3 bikes are black so thought it was time for a change! 😆
very orange indeed.... nice ! what are they like to ride...are they on the heavier side
nice bike, these ride really well for their weight... make full use of the U-turn - the bike was designed around the versatility of the fork
Only had one ride so far Elaine, but it certainly does ride 'lighter' than i was expecting. I own an '04 Mount Vision as well & that climbs pretty well & the Wolf Ridge isn't that far behind to be honest. I suspect on a long all-dayer i would be slower but not too much i reckon.
Not weighed it yet but supposed to be around the 15Kg mark.
The QUAD 2 suspension works really well, great traction & the fork is ace at the big stuff. With the U-turn & Motion Control it also works well on the climbs. Stands taller than the MV tho, my cods are hard against the top tube but that's to be expected when you're 5'2" with a 27" inside leg!
Muddy, you should have bought a carbon roadie!
Great choice. You're going to have a right laugh on that.
Crikey - you're determined i'll give you that! 😆
Really chuffed with the Wolf Ridge so far, especially with £1000 off the price. Hope i can do it justice now - midlife crisis bike i think!
muddydwarf- i think i may know oyu from years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😯
Lovely! 8)
muddydwarf lol ! i have the same 'short arse' agin scenerio... only bike in the north west to fit me was an orange five frame size 14 inch (short).... god dint hand out long legs for us two then ! lol....
enjoy your new bike.....have the reflectors gone now then..lol
Sonik - where from????
That's true Elaine - unfortunately i have a long torso (comparitively) so the 14" Kona my 5' female friend has feels like it's been squashed lengthwise, the stem feels like it's under my clavicle!
The new bike fits perfectly everywhere apart from standover height. It's something i'm used to, not going to find a 140mm travel bike any lower than that really. Even the Lapierre i tried was tight against the old chestnuts!
Now i just have to ride like Mamadirt!
muddydwarf- rickards
Now i just have to ride like Mamadirt!
Don't wish that upon yourself. No chance of me even getting close to doing my Slopestyle justice especially with a burgered shoulder but hey a bit of skill compensation is always good 😉 . Looking forward to seeing some more pics of the Wolf Ridge once it's filthy - looks a cracking little ride . . . and Im a sucker for orange 😛
MD - Like yer new toy mate !
Indeed, Very Orange 🙂 - Will be able to spot you from the other side of a valley unlike your previous Black Knight look.
Pity about the tonsilitis - That'll soon go so no great problems. - Besides, it's hammering down here at the mo, so much nicer stopping in.
Bestist wishes...& watch them cods ! Hurts like hell when you get the old Cod & Toptube interface wrong 🙂

Ey-up Chris!
Strange thing is, my medieval armour jacket is exactly the same shade of orange, maybe i should combine the two for full effect? 😆
Sonik - Bloomin' eck, where you been hiding?
Drop us a line if you fancy a spin out sometime.
Nice bike Hoy - teach me how to do a bloody pic post will ya? 😳

muddydwarf-kind'a guessed it was you-squirrels sister told me you were MTBing. last time i saw you you were still on a clogg vibe! alot of 'water' has washed under the bridge with me since then. 😕
hows tricks?
Me too fella, me too. 😕 Been a bad couple of yrs but things are getting better now.
I'm doing the C2C with Sarah's husband in July, she thinks we're mad!
Clogs are in the back of the cupboard these days though, kinda replaced with SPD shoes..
You in 'dale then?
chicken and chips-ace!
yesmate-for my sins i am rockin' the dale vibe!
where do you ride locally? i'm usually found pushing up hills and going over the bars of my 456 over milnrow towards tod/hebden!
as for the C2C-i agree. more like F2F for me.
I ride round L'boro quite a lot, also over to Tod/Hebden/Burnley etc.
Live nr Tesco so central for access to the hills really.
if its the attack trail mum then its the one i demo`d that time from blazing saddles, and it was terrible, well i wouldent say terrible because it was amazing on the downhills but the uphills were awefull, i was way behind everyone else getting that up the hill lol and yeh its heavy
I've found it to be suprisingly easy on the uphills actually, can climb stuff in the middle ring that i can do on a Mount Vision in the same ring.
Fitness maybe? 😛
nop not fitness at all for me, went to stanbury 1 day last year i own a cannondale prophet, and there's this huge climb we all go up first and i can make it everytime if not be the first to reach the top... Borrowed this bike 1 day, i was behind everyone and took me alot longer, every hill i struggled on but as i say it was worth all the downhills 🙂
