went for a ride last thursday but forgot to get the pics off my camera. New bike is fun, I’ve since chopped the steerer down, fitted offset bushings and generally fettled it to feel more like my bike. It surprised me how different it felt at first to my spicy but I guess that’s mostly down to the coil versus air shocks.

Got to love those dusty trails!

Where abouts is that?

P.S also loving the dry and dusty trails 🙂

‘action’ shots of me and my old man are win hill area, bike photo was an excuse for a breather on the climb up to winstone lee tor.

Parkin clough

shhhh 🙄

Not another new bike Tom? Can i have your spicy please? 😀

ha! its all coiled and dual plyed up now for mucking about on. this ones a keeper, honest 😐

Cheeky trails?

I’m sure you said that last time! Fancy a ride this weekend or tail end of next week?

Onzadog, yep!

Sambob, daughters 16th this weekend, lakes next weekend. Needs to be soon though!

Definitely! I’m around during the week for a fortnight after next Wednesday if midweek suits 🙂

Quite busy next week and week after. I’m off the week after that though

What is the new head angle with the off set bushes? Looks nice, how does it climb?

how wide are those bars?, there’s a few tree gaps you’d not get through with those round my way

Interested in some info on the shock bushes on the Zesty – i’ve been toying with getting some on mine.

Price/measurements would be great.

Bagstard I’ve not measured it but it’s noticeable, I’d guess a degree, maybe a degree and a half. That pic is with the original bushings. It still climbs well but I’m used to a 35lb bike so it would!

Rocketdog, 780mm a lean or shimmy gets you through any tight bits. So far…

Hob nob, bushings were €20 each, I went for the ‘standard’ zesty/spicy set that reduces the effective eye to eye length by 5mm So it’s like it’s sitting 1/4 sagged to start with but still has 140mm travel. Had to increase the rear shock psi by a tiny bit because it also drops the bb slightly but it feels really good.
