The usual singletrack forum essential, an On One of some type.

Full squidge

have you put anything on pinkbike/southern downhill yet?

at 6ft2 but all leg i ride a 16″ 456 with a fair bit of seatpost.

Bikes are very personal. Have you consulted her yet?

Yes.. hard earned muscle is turning to fat. and my suits don’t fit properly.

Barsteward!

they’re there to make your ebay ad look pretty when you change frames three months down the line and need a different colour/size layback for the next frame.

speak to a local mobility centre. (main dealer might be able to assist.
Might well be mechanically possible to modify it.

Freeze dried food was a revolution in itself… disagree.?

One person posts.

Nine comment.

Ninety just read.

… the rest look at porn.

Seen them selling for as much as 200 a pair on pink bike classifieds.
Personally however, i’d e-bay them individually.

it would depend on what the tyre needs to do in each environment.
Does it need to be very fast rolling on tarmac exclusively? Does it need to offer good puncture resistance?

Sliding doors equal more fun when you go dogging. Lets face it we all do?
or maybe i should just get my coat..

tetris…
3 bikes.. all the riders.. plus two parents who wished to go “walking” on the same day.
no room for anything else.

Tow bar rack or tailgate racks are a winner really.

I’ve got a single pivot, and when the mounting hardware is torqued there is no movement in the mount holes… so if i read your description correctly you are stating movement occurs even when torqued?

My frames mount holes are not a super tight tolerance with the bolt either. The bolt also rattles a tad inside the shock hardware, again not a tight fit, but, when torqued that goes away.

If it’s not that it could be something in the shock.
My pals fox rp with propedal removed has a brass weight in that rattles slightly.

trawl ebay, or buy the sram pink one which is in the sale at crc.

Your local quick stitch repair type place not able to bodge something for you?

The dry2 tyres caused a flurry of rediculous comedy crashes last summer.
Had sparks fly off a shiny new xtr mech.

Suppose it just depends where you ride.

I’ve had some xcr’s which as mentioned above, made decent mud tyres.

That would be fine if you were my neighbour who is still an enthusiastic rider, but, given he’s cash rich/time poor with kids and a busy work schedule thats pretty good value.

Lad i work with looked suprised when i said i bled my own brakes etc. He just said “sod that, i’ll leave it at a shop”.

We have a new Style berlingo. Comfier ride than the older one, and handles slightly better. Has numb brakes, and numb steering, but, most people don’t buy them for country road hot hatch chasing.

As for load carrying, brill. Size wise, fraction roomier in the back. Three fat adults fit width ways.

I’d stay clear of a doblo. Ours was plagued with niggly faults. The new one has a lot in common with the model it replaces and is made in the same factory.
The new Kangoo failed the elk test.

google search…

For a while someone on ebay was selling custom purple thomson stuff.

Got some forks headed in my direction soon as well.

For starters.

I’m curious.. this 50 50 weight thing.. what if you have stuff in the boot like most people do?
marketing tosh?

Ebay bargain. 60 quid, versus full price of 170. I’m happy.

And a set of these arrive in early jan.

Self timed dodgy pic, but, i think it summed up the jolly mood of a riding holiday back in feb this year.. my first proper week in Scotland with my bike.
Happy times!

nail varnish. Or just leave it.

What pitch fork for unruly mobs?

That’d look lovely. The c5 wheels look tidy new version of c5?
Although, ours looks well on steelies.

Other option is second hand on the bay.

HA

It’s no worse than if you have a bike with a crap shock.

Least they did’nt add insult to financial injury and bend you over the counter

Theres a simple answer.
Were all tossers.. virus with feet.

Coil pikes if you can still buy new from somewhere are great.

I’ve got a set of sektors on order for January. Woo.

It’s a nice bike. As for the size, it’s tough getting stuff to look right when your big.

I thought shock valving had overcome the issues with “bob”

I had an 05 zaskar.. i.e. a maxlight in disguise with a harsher ride.
It’s all kinesis tubing anyway.

Was lush to ride actually.

what rubber bands for my route..

you don’t have to drink it all in one sitting…
