Decided to just go for the flows due to being a bit on the tubby side £268 for the set on wiggle today only plus £5.40 back through quidco

If you use sintered pads you will be ok we used the same pads for 6 days of riding in total about 230km of riding and the pads still going strong now after a few rides back in UK.

If you dont mind me asking how much do yous weigh in full riding kit im about 90kg

I also looked at arches but they aren’t as wide as the crests which didnt really make sense to me

I bought a bottom bracket from fastpartsforbikes last week and turned up 2 days later

si progressivebikes

do you do white rims by any chance

Its easily rideable in a day if you struggling for time make sure you do the morzine-les get-morzine bit last as I remember the pleney lift is open till 1730 where a lot of the other lifts close 1630 or 1700

More rooty than rocky. Some nice flowy sections on the red now section 13, transmission and accelerator. Ripon aint that far from Hamsterley so give it a go. There is a fair bit of hidden stuff if you can get someone to show you.

Yip DOT4 works fine did my elixir R’s on Monday. No need for flushing

Personnally I dont feel the differnce between the two and for the riding your doing I dont think you will either. Looking at test results you only start feeling the difference when hitting stuff at higher speeds in excess of 25mph even then its only when cornering and larger rock gardens. I think a lot of it is mental as I changed to 15mm and thought it was stiffer but then a few weeks later jumper back on a bike with QR and couldnt tell the difference

Very nice but my preference would be white saddle and handlebars

I just got a orange five from alpine bikes at glentress for £1700. They stock trek, santa cruz and orange so a wide range of demos

I use snowcard there meant to be really good luckily I havent had to claim to find out though

Picked my new five up today and rode ti for the 1st time didnt climb as well as my remedy 8 but was so much more fun on the down its great for just flicking the back end around. Test rode a Zesty at the start of the year found it climbed amazing but it didnt seem as chuckable as the five but still descended well. Can’t comment on the specialized. When your looking at that price range would you not be better off considering the stumpy evo

Nobby nics worked well for me in most conditions

Thats what i thought its done 30 rides but still looks new seemingly as it is completely helitaped

Try and get an ex demo five I just managed to get one for 1700 from alpine bikes you can then sell the components and send frame to orange for your custom paint job. That should save you loads.

Tyres generally can save a fair bit of weight and the weight saving is down below where it matter I find Schwalbe tyres to be lighest in general. As previous posted consider dropping 1 or 2 chainrings at the front. I cut my seatpost aswell as I found it way too long few grams saved no cost

Thanks for the advice managed to get one from alpine bikes for £1716 just need to wait till its done all its demo rides now

might get a few trips in then I thought it was in the next couple of month it closed

Hexham common or guisborough

So far I have lapierre zesty 514 at £2519 or orange five pro £2240

Yes its off a trek thanks for the help. I think they only bounced out cos I knocked the bike as I was pulling the top bit out

Beware I bought my wife a Specialized Myka to start off with and she loved it. 2 month later went to a demo day and decided she wanted to demo things aswell ended up costing me over £2k for a lapierre zesty female version because she decided she hated her bike after riding that. So keep her away from the good stuff

Well porte de soleil region is a complete mudfest at the min trails so hope its not the same in les arcs for you

If its anything like the porte de soleil region at min get something thats good in mud cos theres plenty of it

I want one so bad but the mrs says 4 bikes is enough which I cant really argue with maybes next year when they look even sexier

genius

Mainly Dh riding a lapierre froggy and cant be assed pedalling uphill.

All mountain riding not into massive drops and boulder gardens but dont want to do too much pedaling. Ours bikes are a Lapierre froggy and trek remedy

You would probably have a lot of the better riders travelling back from mega avalanche or racing in the mountain of hell race.

Thanks I will try that if I get no luck online as im out the country at moment

Noby nic on front and racing ralph on rear normally what I ride there. depends on the trails there using if they stop to the manmade its a good setup. If there is natural stages it may be a little muddy as the ground holds the water

Wheres a good place to stop if u have to im in the same dilemma about driving or flying but im lone driver

I may be wrong but im sure they do a 30 day no quibble return policy even if it has been ridden. If you search through this forum there was somebody decided they didnt like the bike they ordered and swopped for differnet model and by the sounds of it it was hassle free. Give the Canyon customer service centre a ring they are in the uk and are meant to be very helpful. I would personnaly go for the nerve xc 9 over the xc8 just for the bling factor and you feel like your getting an even bigger bargain.

mix a bit of fairy liquid and water and go round and paint solution on rim it should just slide on then

I got a 53 plate 2.0 diesel and love it. With careful loading you can 3 bikes, 3 people and a weeks camping gear which we have done several times guy in the back does get a bit squashed with all this in mind. Fuel 45mpg. Only downside for me is no air con but otherwise excellent car for purpose

Dales biking centre in reeth is very good nice little bunkhouse and the staff are first class and the riding round there is ideal for hardtails
