Anyone else having problems with these large vermin? The cobs are all a bit aggressive as it's breeding time and my morning commute is a bit exciting round the old gravel pits.

In the absence of bombers would an old pair of Suntour forks do for protection?

They're a big old bird to hit at speed. Went through a bit earlier today and they were all laying down on the trail!

Speed bumps that "could break your arm" ©STW forum. Makes it much more exciting.

I may get some strange looks carrying a 4 bore through Ipswich on the bike.

Well, dont use the bike then!
Time to up-gun and go stealthy...

There's a bunch of them round the back of old trafford, they're getting bit more aggressive lately. Any that go for a bite I jump off the bike and heard it in the canal with my Recons... so I imagine a set of suntours would work but the damping wouldn't be as good.
