I had a 4 week wait for my Sinbad Purple 2012 frame to turn up a few weeks ago. You may have a longer wait if its a full bike build. Well worth the wait though 🙂

Quinny freestyle, great off-road and as a travel system with Maxi Cosi components has been faultless.

I was wondering about this as well, as Im about to purchase a 2012 5 frame. Is the extra £100 for the RP23 worth it over the Evo RL? I wasnt sure if the Evo has a level of Pro-pedal or not. My Old Fox float r on my Heckler has factory pro-pedal set as standard at level 2.
I demo’d a Five a few weeks back with a RP23 fitted and it was very wallowy climbing without PP on. So i’d like to confirm whether the new Evo float RL has PP built in as standard.

Anyone?

Some good pics, Apple green is winning it at moment

Whats the latest Devs?
Alternative frames for your slender build :

Nicolai AM
Alpine 160
Patriot
Transition Covert
Intense Tracer 2

Chainring bolts, like Hadge says. They were the culprips on my creaking Heckler.

Achnashellach Station, you’ve got all the Torridon trails on the doorstep of the station 🙂

Nice Scorpa Godzilla, I miss mine. It was replaced with a Heckler though 😉

That looks lovely that Butcher. Thanks for the input guys

Carn Ban Mor, Glenfeshie is a must do. So much other stuff in the Cairngorm, just search on here.

bump

Anyone?

Just retired my old Mule. Its been replaced with an Osprey Talon 11, great sack and well thought out, the pockets on the hip belt are handy for quick access to camera/phone/gps and it feels a lot better on the back than Mule.

Kbrembo, It was the bike i recognised. Met you a couple of times at Golspie (Black VW golf and SC Heckler) Passed your car the other day at the retail park in Ness.
Some cracking pics here, torridon is a must for me once the snow has buggered off

Kbrembo, cracking pics. I recognise that Nicolai, do you ride Golspie and live in the Inverness area?

Im sure the Highrollers would cope with that ice 😉
Cullen-bay, can you not persued Bert to ride on a team, I hear he’s marshalling now as 2 of his team have dropped out! I would haveridden if i wasn’t stuck in a dusty desert miles away!!
Good luck, hope the snow stays soft for you all like last year.

UKbikestore had them in. Same happened to my k24s. I waited 3 months for them to get them in stock though so had to do a bodge repair. drilled a 2.5mm hole through the rod and put a split pin through it which then pushed the plunger, not pretty bu did the job.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Some cracking pics there. I like yours Swavis, I recognise the lad in that pic 😉 wish I was up the Ben now!

See ya all soon

Chipbutty

Hi guys,

Love the pics, keep em coming.

Miketroid, Im also at KAF. Your right those hills do look interesting. I bet theres some cracking singletrack decsents. Like you say though, a bit more than the trail ahead to worry about ;).
Parkesie, Poo pond is still smelling ripe!
Just keep thinking about my Op allowance when I get back and all the bling I can spend it on.

Puffer, for those hard and stupid enough 😉

Clean it most times on My Heckler, however I find it easier on the HT, more feel for what the rear wheel is doing.

Local today at Golspie

Endura Stealth here too. 1st class

Easyout extractor. I use them everyday at work. great tools, just make sure you use new drill bits.

Thanks foxyrider, I'll try that

So it looks like its worth doing Sligachan out and back on the same track?

My 2007 Heckler

and my On One 456

Ive got the 2007 Heckler with float r standard shock fitted. Got coil 454 Pikes up front. It does everything i want of it, from trail centre stuff to big mountain days out. Ride Golspie and Laggan regulary and it eats up the drops with ease. No quarms about the float r shock. Ive had it since new, and had a pre 07 Heckler with coil fitted before this one. Got to say I like the float.

I bet you rebuild your 456 as well ;), thats what i did. Both great bikes

Any excuse to post a pic

My two. They're both great out with the bike. The collie will run all day. The Lab is happy out for a couple of hours, anything more and she starts flagging. The Lab is no good when its hot either, she really suffers. I always try and finish a ride near a river or stream so they can cool down.

Devs, It was a mid-week blast. Some sweet singletrack on the descent

Cheers anyway coatesy. ssimon ygm

Ive just done what you said with the bleed nipple and letting some fluid out while pushing the pistons in. Worked a treat. cheers guys

Tick, i got same problem

Snap

If your coming this far, then you have to do Golspie. Laggan is worth it too, you could ride the reds and black in a few hours then move on.

My Chocolate brown.
