Hi sorry for the blatant advert but I am selling my 18″ plasma blue 160 frame with CCDB shock and Ti spring. Drop me a mail if you are interested.
Cheers

DH, you’re right, i’m in totally the wrong place.

I’m with you BWD, I like mountain bikes and I thought this was a mtb forum, I ain’t interested in fixies, road bikes or 29 ers!

I’m a std 10 and 10’s in these fit me fine, they do give a bit in the first few weeks.

recon I’ll be doing the series on this, NS surge SS.

if you like jumps, get yourself to our playground!

trailblazers

not necessarily stoked for a ride but I just came across this and it amuses me, chap hop!

professor elemental

only for the road riders!

pop, you mean a tioga diskdrive, made a mint noise!

nicked a pic of my mate, a great one I think!

i’d rather go out and get wet-n-muddy, did yesterday and will tomorrow.

the brechfa bus does some top feed!

panaracer sidewall have always been shite.

the beardy dude from the mag does one, great rock.

a mate had a RS monarch on a 5 and he rated it.

superstar are in Lincoln and I suspect have been up to their balls in snow like us, we’ve only got post for the first time in a week on Sat, they prob did send them and they are sat in the sorting office.

Royal DH race pants, tough, warm and not silly expensive.

5 mins into a half hour knee deep slog, the jumps on the sledging hill were pretty good though!

in snow mode

btw there is about 2ft more snow there now!

good idea, but it’s on a buell, ugh!

got my down-o-matic from purebike only a few days del. Fit is spot on (my nut suits giro xen)and is is very light. When riding at speed you can actually feel the air coming through the vents. If the fit of the enduro and dirt are the same I will get the full set.

my mate has a new version of that cristini

works pretty well in the snow but the open bevel gears at both ends are never going to last long.

thats with no shock I think, the black market killswitch is also along the same lines, would quite like one run ss for general woods playing.

a2a4 will have what you are after.

I quite fancied the Dartmoor hornet, went for a steel NS surge and it’s mint.

not many as it is 27.2, pure i7 and gravity dropper

an X type BB is from race face so will fit the Atlas. Shimano use the same BB axle diameter (or rather the shimano is the std). I also use an FSA crank and quite a few others are to this std.

I think it is only the FSA mega exo which is not the std external BB.

got 2 19mm rise V1’s and really like them, I would have got a set of renthals last time but that colour…….

I should imagine BETD make something suitable, I have one of their 12mm axles on my alpine.

looks fine to me, i’m 6’3″ and ride a 18″ alpine 160 and a 17″ NS surge, so long as you knees don’t hit the bars when you are stood up pedalling it’s all good.

gutted I didn’t find those trails when I used to work down there.

deux alpes, easily a weeks worth there, and you can take in alpe d’huez as well.

you don’t need to mail them here’s the std settings:

CC generaly recommend 30% sag, a bit more than normal so you may need a lower rate spring.

well they still break so not a sucessful change!

i tried to remove my lh index finger tip in a rotating disc/caliper interaction

a lovley ride!

I watched the screening last night too, very nice visuals but as steve said lacking in actual riding, the early scene with the dude ripping along a singletrack was mint!

Vast was much more realistic riding(for me!)and as it was in europe seemed attainable.

nope it’s 2010, and the design is the same as 2008. underside of swimgarm.

on an Alpine I’d be more worried about the swingarm……
