Oh, this is good to read! Want to order one and usual land between small or medium. I was going to go medium as my Endura jacket is a medium and fits great.
ceepers – how you find the arms length, so the same height, if a wee bit slimmer, than me.
The Impact shoes soaked up water, this I know. But the VXi Elements are pretty water proof. Had mine about year and half and feet get no where near as wet as with the Impacts. I mean water will alway get in when splashing through huge puddles, but that’s going in via the bit you shove yer foot into.
I’m not much of a rugby fan, but this guy made me watch it when he appeared in the world game. Awesome player, very sad news. No big ego, just seemed a decent bloke.
If you’re naming all these, look at the Pivot Mach 6. Awesome bike. My opinion has nothing do with me having one and thinking it’s an awesome… But it’s an awesome bike.
I like the Black. But nowadays I do some f it and mix in a bunch of the off piste stuff. Can do a good 20 odd miles. Big climbs, but big descents.
Although I prefer Innerleithen, same again, do the main route and the mix it up at the end with the hand cut trails and rattle down some of the DH runs. I like a bit or Cresta Run.
I do them all the time and noticed a big difference in my fitness. I first did them far to hard, learned to back off a bit and fine the settings I could give myself a proper work out on and it’s al been good. The best thing is to get good instructor.
we continued to be taken down trails that were (in my mind) ridable only by very technically able riders (switchbacks that needed endo-ing around, long front-wheel-stopping rock gardens on super steep sections and so on)
Never had that problem when I’ve gone away. The Whiteroom ask before you go what your levels are and it usually falls into a running order and if folk don’t want to do it, they walk it, but always given plenty warning.
I must be the only person who jumped on a 650b and loved it. Never had any issues with tight switch back corners either. I must be the marketing departments dream.
Don’t want to go that big. We have an older Apple one that’s 30″ and everyone hated it. I always wanted to push it back about a foot more, but the desks weren’t deep enough! Have a 27″ iMac at home, and it’s great size. We also use secondary monitors at work too.
Doubt I’ll make it now. Crashed pretty hard at the very end of Stage 4 and thought I’d broke my thumb. One X-Ray later, no breakages, but very sprained and very fat looking. ****. Very difficult to change gears not to mention frickin’ painful. Damn and blast it all.
How the hell does that cost £8.5K? It’s not a crazy spec. I know I spent a spunk of cash on my Pivot Mach 6 but no where near that amount and mine has SRAM X11.
So to follow on
Basically in 2 months in UK conditions the modern multi pivot ilinkage is longer working correctly as the designer intended as the bearings are shagged/ seized!!
Not clever
Deary me, some of the comments on here get better every week.
Remember few years back Sam Hill won Crankworks, top to bottom on mostly black the course I think and got down in 14 minutes or something. I chose my own mix of black and red to come down top to bottom to see how long it would take me. Got down in 25-27 odd minutes I think. I was completely F***ED at the bottom. Thought my thighs were going to explode.
