If dump had even a modicum of statesmanship or decency in him, he would use this to draw a line under the vile polarization that is only going to lead to more deaths.  But he wont, he and his band of idiots will use this as a war cry.

Wife and I tested positive 2 weeks ago.  Thankfully we are both fully vacced. Only lasted a week.

My thoughts exactly 😀

sheesh…. So many batteries and things to go wrong.  Fine for people making a living from racing, but totally unnecessary technofaf.

I recently popped this on my Whyte 905.  Very decent fork for the sale price.  Can always upgrade it to Pike standards as they are both now 35mm.

Just back from a sublime week in Aberdeenshire (Ordie).  Rode Tarland on 3 occasions and did gnar on the other days.  Hid from the gash weather on a couple of days but went for low level walks on those days.  Eastern Cairngorms are mtb heaven.

Sending healing vibes 🙂

Done 🙂

If they keep the line up small and focused (HT, Trail, Enduro maybe Gravel) and bin the mass market stuff at the bottom of their catalogue,  they could really make a comeback.

Get yourself a micro flambé torch and roast those contaminants to hells.

Buying into the mass market ebike  myth I guess.  Can’t be arsed getting fit??  Buy an ebike and motor your way to fun!!  Its what the smart kids is doing!  Or something like that.

Cheers :)….. Wait, you can see that??? ;0

165mm cranks.  Not wacked anything. Yet.

Its always been pretty divisive to be sure.  For me at least, the boardwalk is a real mental challenge which pretty much ruins the rest of the decent stuff on that trail.  Still, when so much of the upper part of the mountain is essentially bog, what else could they do.  I guess there is also the blue…..Oh wait..

Nice build!  Kinda surgical but neat. Like it a lot.  My coil experience was similar 🙂  Could not believe how plush it was.  Wont be going back to air any time soon.  Its probably very similar in terms of ride characteristics to my V2 Clash, i.e. a bit underwhelming on anything that isn’t steep and  gnarly.  Saying that, it performed brilliantly at Tarlands smoothish flowy trails so….

Thanks for the reply!  Yup, thats done now.  Took several attempts to coax it out but its better now.  Surprised at the amount of corrosion on these one year old callipers 🙂

Those GF8 shoes look like a 19th century cure for something. Ugly.  And the water bottle……really, £18.00?  Nah, pass.

Fulfilled a lifelong ambition to ride in the Lake district this year.  Based in Troutbeck, it was every bit as good as I’d hoped it would be 🙂  Need to get back soon.

I recently bought the V2 Carbon to replace its Alu predecessor.  Does seem a bit more comfortable but not hugely so.  worth it though I think so far.

Yup, I have not really seen any Ebike that I would describe as desirable due to its aesthetics alone tbh.  A cheap fork and shock plus other questionable components seem to be the price/compromise you pay for a decent motor and battery.  But in truth, has anyone NOT spent extra beer tokens getting their bike just right????  I know I may have…   

The CRC warranty experience certainly leaves a lot to be desired.  Sorting in their depot can take up to (and did) 2 weeks…… How????  They really were awesome in days gone by but yeah, I try to shop locally first then go to other retailers these days.  Pity.

I used to love Kirri but its been left behind by far better trail centres and the fantastic unofficial stuff being built around the country.  Great for families and tamer rides but seemed to be mostly climbing on fireroad or trails that in essence were inspired by fireroad.  I guess they just don’t have the numbers to justify investing in more aggressive or “funner” trails.
