Whoa, it’s almost the weekend again. Let’s have some Fresh Goods before we head out to the hills, yeah?
Trek Slash 8
Our Dan’s been saving up his paper round money to buy himself a shiny new bike for enduroing on. Naturally it’s been test product pimped straight out of the box with a pretty sweet SRAM X1 drivetrain and some Fox 36’s on big hit duties up front.
Stopping is taken care of by some SRAM Guide RS brakes and there’s a very personal Renthal cockpit too…
Price: £3500 (before pimping)

No cranks then?
For years I’ve waited for a nice picture of a gimbal in FGF and here it is. What a beauty!
another mucky nutz copy. It’s a good example of how people will jump on someone elses design.
The fix it sticks looms fairly pointless. For who/when would they be useful? On the trail? Nah big, heavy and limited use (plus flimsy site pouch). In a tool box? Nah I already have better suited tools to cover their use (and cheaper).
Above should read:

I’m having problems getting my hope grips to grip the bar. Even tightening them to the point where Allen keys have twisted I still get slippage
Had that trouble with the hope grips too, ended up with a layer of gaffer tape underneath.
But they’re shit anyway so didn’t last long.
Liking the dropper post seatclamp – very neat. May just order me one of those.
