Hi jedi nope, from the top Nickel, Nomad 2 and a Heckler.
Ride wise yes mate it does ride very well like a plusher superlight. stiffer, alot less brake jack in my opinion and with the xtra travel an ideal trail bike for us softy’s down south.

Hay rupert well done on any weight loss achived, ive been following my own form of atkins/lowcarb diet since may now and lost 4.5stone. Having got there am finding it very hard to find good wholesome carbs etc to replace them with but whole oats brown rice, zero white anything and look up low GL stuff like sweet potatoes instead off normal ones etc they release there carbs slower and you don’t get a spike in blood suger etc. Also worth thinking about making sure you eat protein with every meal this will fill you up for longer due to slower digestion. Protein smoothies are good nut butters or nuts for snacks (low/no salt). My own smoothie recipy is.

2/3x tablespoon(30grams) of oats soaked in boiling water for about 10/15 mins.
milks normal, soya and almound milk on there own or paired(your cup beaker full)
1x skoop of whey protein flavour of choice.
1x heaped teaspoon nut butters normal almound hazlenut etc.
100 plus grams blueberrys/strawberry or what ever (good antioxidents)
quarter lemon squeesed in.
And blend till smooth. Im using a magic bullet with it’s own cups perfect start to the day, only takes about 5mins after oats are soaked and keeps me going most of the morning and at least a 3 hour ride (moderate pace). Also if you put in half a lemon squeesed in, it will help keep the berrys fresh for around an hour or so, so you could commute to work whick i do.
Also i know a great lower GL flapjack recipy if anyone is interested?
Anyway good luck with it all mate.

Hi damo congrats on a great frame choice there nothing wrong with your component choices either, but like stooo i would think about a shorter stem i started with a 90mm and ended up at 80mm for everything, mainly because there such a capable frame. You just want to help it pop up and over everything in your path such a shame i sold it on.

Bats.

When i had one i had a lrg long and im 6.3 and it fit great, great bike wish i had kept it now oh well. If you go the short route good luck and i would see if you can try one first.

Bats.

Seriously i will e indeed 1

bats….

Thx but no e for me! Still gotta buy a new headset DAME taper’d set ups lol.

Check out this months MBR there is a neat repair for this in there pg163 i think looks like it will work ok.

Bats.

Yes mate it was called the andy stand and i believe he has now made them slightly taller so good to go. http://www.andystand.co.uk/

Bats.

Other thing worth considering is clearence, the anthems can get very clogged up with mud etc where as the superlight is great for anything spesh if you ride all winter and do any race type activaties. So wish i had'nt sold my frame on earlyer this year.
Bats.

Hi buddy if you wanna stick with maxxis go advantage or ardent's both high vol and great all round tyres.
The advantage gives you 5mm approx more wall hight so i used to ride a 2.1 and that came in way bigger than a high roller, and im now on ardent exo very please'd high sidewall again and the 2.25 comes up large in width but not massive so fit's great in my bfe.
Both grip/stick way more that a high roller but still pick up speed with nbo issue what so ever.
Hope this helps a bit.

As i said 15% off exposure lights let me know ok.

Bats.

1 shout for exposure, personaly i love the cable free look and there a good well thought out product with great back up from a uk based company. Dependant on buget maxx D with a joystick for your noggin retail around £480 all in or around that sort of money anyhoo if not just go for the maxx D £325 i think. I see that most are doing around 11% of retail at the moment.

Hi mate having come from a superlight to a heckler id have to say superlight im kinda the same type of riding as you (southdowns,wales etc) but i found the superlight great for everything wales, gerneral trail and singletrack was brilliant set up with a 120mm fork at the front. Now the heckler to be fair is great but a differnt beast def slower up hills and for me no faster or slower downhill just that you can hit ruffer lines and get away with bigger drops roots etc. to round off im thinking of trying to get a new superlight and 120mm fork and just build one up then see which one i wanna keep heckler or superlight! might add that since getting a new cotic bfe ive only riden the heckler once and that has been 3 months loving that frame/bike and there pretty much the same head angles etc (68deg).

Bats.

Another one here for the combo plus great crank arms to boot, just got another set of here today to build a 1×9 set up on my befe with a E13 xcx chainguide when they come back in stock.
Plus MBR just gave it a 10 score in todays issue.

Bats.

Here is how it's worked out for me purchased £1000 voucher 3 years ago payed of over the 12 month period. Now have a bill for £120 to pay at the end of this month or give it back and still have to pay them £100 to do that. For me that all sucks as the others above have stated at this time of year i could have just bought a old stock bike with 20% of and probably been better off in the long run.
I would certanly check out the figures more closly before doing it again which is a shame as i did want to get a new commuter bike as the original one has seen better days now with 3 winters on the road etc.
Bats.

If it was me C would be the way to go just get out and enjoy it. No need to kill your self first time out in ages do that a few times then add the miles on from there.
Enjoy your ride and family lunch to….
Bats.

Yes mate! Just got to the two stone mark myself with about 1.5/2 stone to go. Makes such a difference to your well being gotta say, and strangly easyer to get up them there hills (go figure).
Keep up the good work buddy.

Bats.

Cotic befe frame pure flat out mental fun frame set! Loving it…..
Bats.

Cynic-al not sure what your 1.5 is measured in inchs or mm but yes it probably works out around 15mm as near as dame it! giving a 23in T/T give ot take 3mm. But i still stand by what i think lrg would be the way to go with a 70mm stem but only my thoughts…..
Bats

Check bike radar. Mbuk did a service guide for these posts about 15/18 months ago so it might be on there.
Bats.

Id say you where on the border line for both, santacruz measure the T/T from the outside to outside un like most companys who measure middle headtube to middle seattube so in effect making the large really more like a 23in T/T. I have one and so doeas one of are group he is around 5,11 and rides with a 80mm srem and layback so i would go large frame inline post and 70mm stem thing should rock.

Bats.

One of the worst mistakes i made was selling my superlight of truly a great singletrack and all round frame set, spec't with a 120mm fork up front took some hard riding in it's stride in wales and im 17 stone.

Bats.

Mosey no mate mine is the same as your's stealth look stickers im thinking
Nothing to peal of.
Bats.

Hi bush only has a small sticker about 50mm long on toptube saying befe main sticker is on the downtube covers about 70% of it.
Hoprfully grtting it swpped/built this week as work has been getting in the way :cry:.
If someone can tell me how you put pictures up will be glad to, frame and near final build etc.

Yes mate got my gritstone sat here in a box looks spanking building it over the weekend. as for othe optionds had a evil sov last year heavy but very nice ride but fanced a change so befe here i come.

bats.

Hahaha tyre valve alignment gotta love that!! But to answer your questions yes they do whire away in both directions. Great piece of kit gotta say be very cool when it can come down in weight even by 30% just to help abit,shame i had to sell mine on when i changed frames earlyer this year.

Hi mate something to do when installing these things is grease all threads and axels inc pedels this might help.
