Not having a Mountain Bike anymore.

+1 for onza ibex tyres
and new charger for my magicshine..(the original one melted..)

Not had much chance to ride it in anger but KS Lev is tres awesomeness

Also ESI grips.

Next up will be Shadow+ rear mech.

I’ve just fitted a Singular fork which I picked up from here.. again, not had much chance to ride it in anger, but from a couple of brief spins, it really feels great..

It’s tweaked the geo a tiny bit for the better, but I would also say that the compliance feels much smoother than the carbon fork that it replaces..

I’m looking forward to giving it a more thorough test in some tougher conditions..

Fitting carbon bars, carbon 26″ rigid forks and 29er front wheel to my single speed.

A road bike.

ITO mountain biking, getting descent brakes.

pocketrocket pump on road bike – back up to full pressure after puncture with zero faff – why can’t all pumps do what they are supposed to?

My reverb… and merino socks

Just bought the Planet X Flanders bundle.
Thanks for that.

Castelli espresso jacket – rain and cold aren’t an issue anymore, plus the cut os so comfortable
Sufferfest training program – getting fitter

Lyriks

decide where front wheel needs to be, put front wheel there, front wheel stays there.

niceness

Reverb fitted to my lovely Rocket 😀

Croozer trailer so we/I can get out with the wee man. Priceless!

My <£5 Aldi over shoes – warm dry feet. Lovely.

Just fitted a front mudguard (below fork Bridge) and im amazed at the difference it makes descending, no more squinting through one eye, and the washing machine is happier too..

New 29er too…

Best bit of kit on it without doubt is a clutch mech. Worth the upgrade to 10speed on its own.

Next upgrade I’ve got high hopes for will be carbon rims.

Bontrager Solstice windproof full gloves. Not too hot and not too cold.

My main bike had always felt too small. Changed the stem from 60 to 80mm, bars went to 680 to 720mm. Made the world of different.

And I bought a cheapo pair of winter running tights to wear over the shorts. Now means I can peel them off at the back door and leave the mud there… for later.

Building a mini pump track,

Got any links to any decent sites to help plan a pump track build? I think the garden in my new house is gonna be big enough for a small pump track, or maybe a circle of small hip jumps!

+1 for coaching too

Today, my new Gore Xenon wind stopper jacket. A cold, cloudy ride with long descents (10km) and it saved my skin.

The return of mud and bad weather oddly enough. Kind of reminds me why I love being out on a mountain bike. Rides are a tad shorter, bike needs a bit more tlc but otherwise it is splashy, splashy fun out there.
