10 years since I last rode there at the weekends..

The stormtroopers can’t or don’t do weekdays thankfully.

So how often do these torque wrench users get their wrenches calibrated?

Was out there a few weeks back. Awesome trails, lung busting climbs.

cuddle?

Any 29er specific shoes or shorts yet?

They were taught by this guy.

The Ellsworth School of Martketing BS

a teeny tiny bit of wobble is normal

Mine came with a mate visiting from the States.

I like the primer grey 8)

Some added colour….

I want to see Chunky’s helmet

You’ve seen it plenty of times.

😈

The new Rush is just a Rize.

Never had any issues with the stuff I’ve had from Aliexpress

My 26″ Lefty, spaced to 90mm. Or 80 if you wished.

5 minute job.

I escaped NZ eight years ago.

Life is good 😀

Maybe they are just offering their opinion? Like we have to suffer yours?

Did Richmtbguru take your KOM?

Stretched out is good, nice for your core too.

I have a Ribble R872, race geo – so comfortable now for me. I got fitted by a chap at work – he has a very good CV in such things 😀

So you got a bike that fits you? 😀

Yeh, better to buy your bike parts from a company on the other side of the world, who make fishing kit, and don’t supply spare parts for their stuff.

I don’t need spare parts, because my brakes are made by Shimano, not Hope.

+1

Amazing how I’ve not needed any spare parts for my Shimano’s in the last couple of years.

Always had shiny new spare parts arriving for the Hopes though when I ran them….

They work
No constant messing with pad clearance
Cheap
Easy to bleed
Tons of power

I have full Shimano kit on both my full sus mtb and my commuter and unless something seriously goes wrong with the company I shall run Shimano for all eternity.

Even their ‘low end’ road stuff on my commuter rarely misses a beat.

Yup. I got the mega cheap Deore deal from Merlin a while back also. The brakes are fantastic. They replaced M4’s. I won’t quote the performance difference, as not to upset the Hope fanboys.

A Hope fanboy spits his dummy shocker

Shimano on all of my bikes. They make a mockery of my old Hopes.

What he just said

five a side footie

Turner have dropped the 5 Spot. It’s no more.

item is sold slightly soiled…

Most of them are in Richmond Park hiding behind the trees with a radar gun (sitting in their 4×4’s naturally).

Having seen a few of them up close, I think cycling may benefit their health – and the ability to catch a crim on foot.

When you think about how much your $2000 trail-conquering/all-mountain steed costs to run per year it’s probably ok value for money. Compared to the price of the woods behind NatWest in Swindon, less so.

Converting the US dollar, that’s only about £1,200…..

Plus I had no idea horses were that cheap. More expensive to run a year than a bike.

Wearing Rapha.

Need to lose the gopping wheel stickers.

I like your fence

GXP, ugh!

Yep, hacked account

Running 650b on my Rush.

Looks like you need a 29er to me 😀

The Spot is nice, but a bit of a gate in XL.

this one?
