Can’t comment on the new one,But I’ve got the oldish Exped Down mat and its worth spending the extra as its very noticeable in very cold conditions and the comfort quality is 2nd to none

I’ll just stick with this one

I found these guys really good considering I heard some negative reviews about them.

When my reverb stealth broke I gave it to them to get it replaced through the warranty process and there was a big delay from fishers and gravitate actually went out and bought me a new reverb stealth and just took the replacement reverb when it eventually returned.

So no complaints from me

I’ve gone with braided as I’m not arsed about the weight, but It certainly makes a huge difference

Think I was 75kg last when i was in my teens !! I’ve got E4’s now and they are fantastic

Rock Razor rear :D

I’m 47 and train regularly on the mtb and more so with ‘Ard Rock approaching and I’d say my fitness is still pretty good and getting regular KOM’s and beating the lads on their CX bikes ! on my trusty enduro bike so I must be doing something right.

But I’m finding that my recovery now from any injury is a nightmare, but that’s age for ya ! :?

Drinking my brew and reading this pish 1st thing, is a good way to start the day :lol:

Fantastic … thoroughly enjoyed .. loved the 2nd Bothy by the cliffs

I did look at the Bell 2R but as it wasn’t a solid 1 piece FF it did put me off, I like the idea but went for the MET instead and now can’t decide.

I’ve only used it for Thrunton woods only as I normally ride up there by myself and thinking of the safety aspect of riding alone.

Very true @Simon… There is a lot of hill work but there is the option of carrying 2 helmets which I don’t really want to do.

Rock Razor —- Lightning fast

Met my daughter for the 1st time in 20 years ! and got 7 KOM’s this week… so not all bad !!!

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet :-)

Ive got one ready to stick on the back but I think I’ll leave it for a bit with the wet weather thats coming in ! :roll:

Lucky lad !

Cheers Gents

Wifey has just ordered one from CRC as its my birthday soon so hopefully some dryish weather will stay around :o

Cheers guys

I’ll give it a go and see what what its gonna be like, always change back if we get a long period of many weather, which is the norm.

Thanks Guys

Prorideguides does look spot on and fairly local to me in Hamsterley

I’ve got the Medium Enduro 29er and I’m 5’10 and use the 380mm with 125mm drop and its perfect … well I say perfect as the sodding thing is STILL away being replaced under warranty :cry:

Anyone done this recently ? looking at doing it soon….ish

The MRP Micro is very quiet with plenty of space, I had a period of where the chain would drop off a few times every ride and ever since its been fitted its not dropped once as you’d expect.

Oooooo … figured it out

If I knew how to upload pics I’d show ya 8O

I use the MRP Micro on my Spesh Enduro and its really good

It would be nice to have forum members put their starva names on here so you know who’s local to your area.

And it doesn’t help when Strava app tells you that your ahead or behind in your earpiece on a segment ! :o thats how sodding bad it is :roll:

Ive sadly fallen into the strava crap !! had quite a few KOM’s in my area recently and I’m pushing myself too hard now on every ride which has taken the fun out of riding

Only wanted to use it to monitor my fitness but it’s just got silly now

Same problem here, also bought mine from CRC but gave mine to the LBS and they are sending it to Sram as its also under warranty and told me it would take about 10 days due to bank holidays.

Just done mine yesterday and it’s a doddle WHEN you use a hairdryer !

I bought mine from CRC last November and sent mine through Gravitate Cycles in Newcastle this morning and they are sending it direct to Sram.

I hope this isn’t going to be a regular problem considering everyones having the same problem :x

And mine !! just sent mine back this morning with the same friccin issues !

Sneaky Ard Rock training Niall ? :o

@tftunedshox I think it will be quicker and easier for me to send you my reverb stealth as the seal has gone and is dropping ! emailed CRC and they said it can take up to 2 weeks to sort under warranty !

Can’t wait that long for it to be sorted

Had the iPhones from the start and my last one was the 5S and got tired of all the apple crap and shite battery life and now got the Sony Experia Z3 Compact and its way better.

CRC currently has my size in stock so I hope it will be quick, I’ll ring them in the morning for return and warranty details.

No issues with fitting it as its fairly straight forward.

Thanks Gents

Thought as much well CRC are very good so hopefully be a quick turnaround

I’m using Hope Techs and I’m 14 stones and they take a right spanking and they are spot on :o

Has anyone had any success pairing it with a sunnto ambit2 ???

Some good and bad aye … Yeah I’ll just get in touch with CRC as they are normally very good

Thanks again
