What about a Calibre Beastnut ?

Bought a calibre beastnut I’ll let you know how I get on very impressed so far

Thanks for your input all

I liked the idea of a jeffsy 29 but I don’t like short too tubes on a bike feel cramped any others

What would you recommend then in its place? £1500 ish

Cdoc- Yes you are right it would not match my Audi in the trail centre car park i would need to look professional

What sort of weight do you think they are ?

I would think they would be ideal for a starter bike

WHyte t129 rs–read the reviews–(not that i have one!)

All thanks for the response i will bear in mind Dave at big on bikes,
Ian1775—Ive got a new bike coming in a couple of weeks so will be struggling on saturday
wrightyson==I might take you up on the guide once the trails dry up
Have a good weekend everyone

Thanks guys will have a look into hicks lodge, wrighty son- I’m based in Duffield but haven’t lived here long. Am I near any good local riding? How does it stand up in the current weather?

That all sounds good has anybody seen any deals on them at the moment?
Was looking at a 2016 rs version

Ok thanks guys

Bump

is an offset mount kit an easy solution to get the head angle slacker?

Tommy19 yup can have my 2011 zesty for 1850-only 4 month old!,,,
Better colours than the 2012!

I got charged £100 by leisure lakes to build up my last bike from scratch

cannock chase monkey trail get down there for 7 start

had a read up on em and they sound ideal cheers for that pal, makes a change from the normal maxxis suggestions

wheres every one else been riding this wkend?

damn was gonna get 1 but none left!

sounds to me like you should buy this months dirt mag they have a section on the best current trail bikes,should help you make a decision. i wouldnt discount bikes from last and cube as well as the usual suspects orange and lapierre.

none of the above cook yourself a bacon and egg sarnie then go ride down the m1 with no lights on your bike!

do you know my mother in law?

miele buy once and buy quality, think it will be cheaper as well in the long run

yeah i couldnt get a copy from the shop.

thanks for that looks like i better get a gaggia classic then. you know you need coffee in the morning now the dirty winter weather is just round the corner!

been to lots of indian restaurants and would reccomend jeera in codnor market place

yeah its an alloy orange 5 frame,sounds a lot of work to keep it looking good.saw a polished 5 and it looked good tho

boo yah !

yeah

ok thanks,im after more of a waterproof than a windproof jacket for riding in so would i be better with the alp x

is the phantom more of a windstopper jacket and the alp x a waterproof?

boardinbob thanks for all the advice think im gonna spend the money on bike bits then. lesson learned though!

forgot to add theres a load of cameras eveywhere as well

yeah thats what ive been told just ignore them and everything they send you. just dont want to end up paying a load of money out in the end. it was a disabled bay on a retail park (ikea) where do i stand legally? is there any risk in not paying? ta

no my daughter needed to use a toilet,although not an excuse,i was in the wrong pulling into the space. ive been told they cant enforce the penalty and the ticket is merely an invoice ? ?

so any real differnce in terms of power etc or is it just looks alone ?

you say use 11/34 cassette but which rear mech sgs gs or long or short ? sorry to be a dumbass ha

excellent thanks for that,was also considering swopping it for a double with bash 36/22, do trail centres etc and reasonably fit, didnt know if id have enough of a range of gears etc does anyone regret going to double rings?
