nope, sell them to me for £289

Hasn’t the swift been changed to have a lower front end?

MTFU

paste special lets you choose what to paste

Yamaha everytime

Singular swift ones are £70 and very well thought of. Email Sam

Nope, never had one even though married

I meant size wise question, really like my duffbag for exactly the reasons you mention

Duff bag any good??

FAR too Nice and BIG

FTFY

13 years today for Mrs Clobber & I… Thought I’d have made it onto the New Years Honours List by now…

Congrats Troutie!

For that sort of terrain, what you need is Maxxis Advantages – 2.4 EXO

Like THESE…

Are you sure it’s not just a new chain stretching/bedding in?

Maxxis Advantage? Grippy and roll well

2.4 ardent will definitely foul the front mech, too big if you’re running gears on a swift ime

What size tyre do you have in the back? I found a 2.25 ardent about as big as I could run with a triple mech

spokeshirts

Mine seems ok, reliable, nice operation but the degrees markers are out so you have to set-up each time or make your own marks at 0, 45 etc…

Best bike ever… I’ve got 2 now!

Glad I got to see it though, brightened my morning!

I have some brand new in box 2.0 dirty dans, brilliant tyre in these conditions, email in my profile if anyone wants some

I have some BNIB dirty dans in 26×2.0, email me if interested, great mud tyres!

the hx1 rear end is the most compliant rear end I’ve ever ridden!
Innuendo aside, I think you may well be believing too much of the hype Out of interest, where does comfort/flex in a frame actually come from?

I dunno it’s just the comfiest 26er hardtail I’ve ever ridden. Same seat, same wheels, probably a different post to my other steeds… It just seems to take the stings out the knocks. But really laterally stiff when applying the power…

cheers the Christopher Ward looks the way forward.

You won’t regret it, massively pleased with mine!

the hx1 rear end is the most compliant rear end I’ve ever ridden!

Is this still going?

christopher ward?

I had a black frame with white forks and it looked fantastic with a front white flow rim and black hope hub.

Wheel for sale if interested, my email is in my profile

There is a bit of a knack to it, watch the videos on stans website

Have a beer and contemplate your predicament

I can feel my V1’s flex

(a) Angle the levers up a bit. I dunno when it became fashionable to have them dangling down so far underneath the bars.

(b) Don’t tighten them up too much and they should rotate round the bar in the event of any contact with the top tube.

Agree with a, definitely NOT b

It’s only 6.99 on itunes

Read “dividing the great” by John Metcalfe, thoroughly good read, especially if you watch “ride the divide” first to set the scene…

2.4 Ralph is nice big and fast. 2.4 ardents are huge comfy and good in most conditions except proper mud. Beavers are excellent in mud, better tyre than the mudx as an all rounder. Hearing fantastic things about the ikons though! I think they will be my next purchase. My friend really loves the hans dampf, seems a good all rounder, hence the name I guess.

If it’s of any interest, the Wing Commander of the Red Arrows (Red 11) lives in our village and regularly comes out mountain biking with us on his very nice Anthem….

I find the latest incarnation of Chumba HX1 to be surprisingly compliant, very impressive ride quality.

I find Deore to be a bit too bendy for a singlespeed, really liking middleburns on my swift though.

I have a spare set of isis middleburns and a 32t ring which you can have under your budget if you’re interested. Email in profile if you are.
