i'm off for a family/riding hol in les gets in 2 weeks, i'll let you know how we get on!

that orange pig would go well with my orange mojo hhhhmmmm…

ibis mojo and maxxis high roller rear minion front, does me all year round anywhere, good enough for 7th dh and 13th xc

After 20 odd years of mountain biking only, it’s the only sport I can do!

I’m fairly sure that the Hemlock is 2:1 (trying to remember back a few months)

My Ibis with coil pikes and very heavy D321 wheels is 30lb, a change to some decent wheels and air Lyriks should see 28lb.

RPRT…£4.45 seems like a lot for a pic……if it was £2 I’d buy both pics you have of me.

been to work, been ridin’ been to the pub……and won £53 at the card bingo

yep you defo got me on that one! I managed to take a big flake of paint off the bottom of the swingarm on the mojo…bugger!

I though it was pretty good, yes the timing bit was sketchy but it was a good craic. I was happy to beat Ed-O on the same bike!(pending re-released results)

Kona mash-up and Cwm Carn.

I would say that jacobs and rushup + roych are best done as downhills (defo rushup as I think it’s one of the best in the peak)

hmm well they got me! they do have 0% finance………

steve mcqueen, although he’s more in the planet than on it!

I went to Stif thinking of getting the powder blue one, then I saw the orange one in the flesh and that was that (btw that photo does it no justice it actually looks even better!!)

I’ll be changing to Lyrik solo’s and new wheelset to get it to a 28lb build.

2hats, where did it crack? I’m certain that Scot or Hans at Ibis would be very eager to help your mate out.

edit….alloy+steel frames also break!

The lopes link is supposed to stiffen up the back end, I haven’t got one and don’t notice the back flexing anyway (100kg) going to fit a DT swiss 10mm RWS when I get my new wheels. I had my first proper ride in the biblical rain in the peaks yesterday. I was worried it wouldn’t descend as well as my coil heckler but it is even better, well impressed down the rushup edge steps and rocks

dammit…too slow!

Oh go on then!

awesome, Blues brothers is just starting on ITV4, one of my all time faves!

just had one of the best chilli’s I’ve ever made!
Saint etiene lager from Aldi
TT coverage on ITV4
some peaks action tomorrow

my border

Ron, that’s a really nice staffie!

TJ, was it you two chasing me (on big red heckler) up the first climb at Afan about a month ago??

Anyway here’s mine>>

I’ve got a std spring going spare (think it’s a firm?)

exactly, 3 yrs on the Ibis!

The travel adjuster is like a screw thread plastic part inside the coil spring. I guess you have broken that bit somehow.

I’ve just come from an XL heckler too! I fancied some more sophisticated suspension and found it with the DW link.

I’m not quite as big as you (16st) but just got an Ibis Mojo, and it’s **** wicked! Just need the lyriks to go with it too.

Sombrio Pinner, really well made and mega stretchy

mud maybe but not comfort!!

Theres a couple of sections that are muddy but other than that you should be able to get round the red route ok.

I’ve got Kennedy m5 and m6 helicoli kits from cromwell tools for about £20 each. If you live anywhere near Doncaster/Lincoln I could do it for you. I got mine to do a pinch bolt on my boxxer axle which the previous owner had mangled.

Brechfa aint worth the trip.

well you must have ridden somewhere different to me! defo worth a trip we did the red and black routes toether in one loop and added an 8 mile road loop to the pub just for good measure (the pub in the local village was closed). the middle of the black Raven loop has a brilliant ‘bike park’ bit with some huge table jumps.

they stitched me up when I bought a set of needle bearings for my shock, they were crap (gone back to TF tuned poly bushes) ,sent back and never got a refund despite several calls. set of bearings I put in the heckler swingarm are knacked after 5 months and 20mm front wheel bearings also gone. stick to SKF bearings from your local bearing factor.

Stif have probably got 20 odd Ibis and SC frames in stock! they also have a carbon Blur frame, it’s quite tasty.

I’ve just bought a Mojo from Stif, the DW linkage is very impressive, almost no suspension movement even when out of the saddle sprinting. Can’t wait to get it built up! 😆

right thats it, I’m off to Stif to get one!

can you fit 1.5 steerer forks?

I’m lovin’ the blue frame, what’s the difference on the SL? is it just lighter, bearing in mind I’m a big lad.

Ok, i’ll go for the Ibis, £1350 from Stif.

I’ve demo’d a 1050 tiger and the engine is fantastic.

better than the cack red frame on the R1
