Ok, so it's second hand, but it's new to me! Judging by the condition, I don't think it's ever seen any mud.

What's not to [s]hate[/s] love? 29er, the big S, plastic... Only current issue is I'm not sure the clamp on my thule will fit round the downtube. Although I'm sure I read something on here about not clamping carbon frames.

Time for a quick ride!

If it's a thule 951 then it will fit just fine. I had an enduro which as a similiar down tube profile and fit fine.

Decided I couldn't quite squeeze a ride now in so I'll save it for a longer one tomorrow.

It didn't come with any tools; I assume they only come with the expert range. It did come with two fabric tool rolls in the downtube storage.

Yeah that's the thule I have, thanks!

Nice bike.

If you are unsure, invest in a Thule 598 - it has a redesigned clamp which is kind to carbon, as it has a torque limiter.

Mine didn't either as I bought the comp. I bought the tops though and they're dead handy. Riding without a pack feels great. That's one thing the roadies have got right.

I'll leave the pointing for the next owner.

Cannabis grows wild in all the neglected yards of sheffield. That's why we're all so cheery!

I have to call it a yard since i paved over the lawn. I daren't show stw the paving...

I paid 1500 which i think is good for a 3k bike which appears to have been barely used.

There is air in the forks, they're only 120mm (wuss bike!).

Looking forward to riding tomorrow!
