Local farmers market

I was disappointed when I got a text from DPD saying ‘sorry we couldn’t deliver your parcel as nobody was in to sign, we’ve left a card.’…

Well firstly no you didn’t leave a card you lazy gobshite and secondly about 400 people were in my office including the post room… Quick phone call to DPD and the driver sheepishly arrived 45 mins later with my parcel…

However the Ibis warranty is 3 years and the SC is 5 years.

To be honest from my experience and what I’ve read of others, Ibis will always see you right and look after you. Someone on MTBR got a MK1 Mojo HD second hand, well over 3 years old – cracked swingarm… Ibis sent out a new one FOC.

26 miles tonight, trails are empty. Awesome.

I’ve had the grey one on order for a couple of months now. My 6yr Flux has finally given up.

Hmmm, I smell the aroma of male cow excrement.
POSTED 2 HOURS AGO # REPORT-POST

To be fair that aroma is around on many of your posts…

😉

Flash enough cash to the Swiss and they are good at turning a blind eye, whatever the crime… 😆

An Eagle on vermin patrol around our outside office….

XT brakes are ace.

It’s a known issue with some Maxxis tyres.

He’s an utter tool. Cycling will never move on until he goes.

+ 1 for Bicycle in Richmond.

But also a couple of miles down the road from there I’d see the chaps in Pearson’s in Mortlake/Sheen. Lots of CX stuff and the guys know their stuff (plus it has a cafe with coffee and cake 🙂 )

Looks a giggle on a Fatty up there.

Awesome.

Does the guy in the first pic have a false leg then?

A cadence magnet (loads on ebay) stuck to the rotor.

Road yes, mtb NO

And this is exactly what I like about it. The trails lose the fair weather riders who are scared of getting their mtb’s dirty 😆

Lovely quiet trails, the smell of autumn and cool colours.

Just buy better or new tyres..

What a daft thing to say.

Of course new tyres stay new 🙄 And better ones are immune to anything they contact on the road and will never cut or puncture 🙄

yum

Personally I’d put Shimano brakes alongside Tektro.
But comparing Shimano to Hope’s! They’re a totally different class. The Hope’s make a mockery of the Shimano units.

As said before any brake will lock a wheel up but that’s irrelevant it’s about the delivery, adjustability, serviceability, reliability, spares availability……….
And the Hope sets win hands down plain to see.

If your budget doesn’t allow for proper brakes then fine,
Shimano offer a cheap alternative but somehow have managed to take the old adage “buy shite, buy twice” as a positive.

Are the sores near joints?

Sounds like you’re run down to me.

Had Hopes for years, then one day tried some of the new XT’s… now all my bikes are running Shimano. My cheap deore’s even laugh in the face of the Hope’s.

We use these.

Ours are exposed to a fair amount of abuse… Lots of grass and mud.. 😮

Was a 32 miler on the North Downs for me. Dusty and fast as usual.

Off to the Sierra Nevada’s soon, so summer WILL continue.

I have 3 Morvelo tops, love ’em.

Thinking of adding a splash to my Ti HT

Or if it matches the Turquoise on my Crosslight Pro 6 then maybe ……….

On that Ti gopping gate of yours?! What a waste! 😛

JRA for me. A few sets and all have been spot in.

Wolftooth, Zee clutch mech. Not dropped yet. Heading out to the Sierra Nevada’s soon with it 🙂

Most reports seem pretty positive. I’m just waiting for OEM, or second hand hardly used ones to surface 🙂

Which ones look nicer? Go for those 🙂

I fly on the 19th Oct, hope you and your group don’t ruin my holiday – and probably others… Which obviously you haven’t given a thought to 😉

Would look nice in naked UD or matt finish. I think 12K gloss carbon looks gash.

OP, when are you going?

Cool. You’ll have an awesome time.

Oh and I use Snowcard too.

Where you off to fatgit?

Some odd looking carbon on here.

ESI on all my bikes.
