Hmmm does work, pic didn’t show in preview

a look at the Mondraker Vantage might be worth it

Totaly agree.

In my oppinion they are great and a new lease of life to the injured or older riders that can not ride unassisted anymore. One of my close riding partners is 36 and is having a double hip replacement. The Doc says no more MTB but depending on his recovery a E-MTB may be an option.

thread finished.

i would agree with rickon, another vote for the Pivot Mach 6C. I am a Mach 5.7C rider and have demo’d a 6 and loved it (spread the pivot love!) it goes up as well as it comes down, the DW platform is stable enough that you dont need to piss about with lockouts and CTD etc i just leave my 5.7 in full open all the time.

i would also look at the Knolly warden

got a 5L pump Presure bottle (like used for insectisides in the garden) just give the bike a spray over to get the worst off at the trail then muck off and rince at home if needed

went to my LBS and had a look at a trek farley. with big wheels, dropper post and bluto suss fork it was 28 LBS.

3 LBS lighter than my Carbon Pivot full suss!!

Had a xen smashed it, saved my head!
Had a Hex Smashed it saved my head! (realy good ventalation)
Got a POC Trabec now AMAZING! bit Marmite on looks but comfy in all weathers. new POC helmet out in 2016 so will be upgrading to that.

other than those i think the Bluegrass Goldeneye helmet looks good and a mate has one who thinks its the dogs swingers! oh and another mate has a troy lee A1 but says its hotter than hell

Cool, Thanks for the replies,

Looking at possibly a Sixpack + Joystick combo.

i have a Mazda 6 2.2D TS2 estate. generaly get about 43 ish mpg better on long runs. get roughly 400 – 500 miles to a tank but i do alot of town running about. its AWESOME! got rid of a 2.4 v6 Audi A4 for it and doubled my mileage and halfed my tax. I can fit the bike in the back with seats down without taking any wheels off. boot is huge and it has so many toys, cruise control, blind spot warning and auto lights and wipers to name a few of my favorites. the 2.2 goes like a rocket and will suprise people who aren’t expecting it. be aware it is LOOOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGG as in wont fit fully inside many parking spaces without overhanging a foot usualy. other than that its brill!

If you don’t ” have to” have 650B maybe look at the mach 5.7C. Picked mine up early last year for a very good price off here and it’s been awesome at everything I have thrown at it from xc type rides to bike park Wales. Worth a look

Nixie, it is a Hercules, it’s an AC130 used by the yanks, retro fitted with something like a 30mm minigun, 50mm cannon and a 75mm howitzer!

Yep had some mates on one of them today, one of them filled 4 sick bags lol. I didn’t get to go this time 🙁

On my pivot mach 5.7C I just leave it full open in D for everything including climbing. Love DW link suspension

interested in this too as considering them for a build I am doing

if your looking at those specs at the top, I would definitely cast an eye over the Pivot Mach 6C. amazing in whichever direction you point it

my Orange crush, mmm lovely

I am sat in Kabul right now reading this lol lets just say im not going for a walk outside!

I like my POC VPD2’s

+1 they are brill and very comfortable

+1 again very comfy can pedal all day in them.

Anyone got any pics of them on their bike?

Cool, Not run tubeless myself but think this could be the time to start! They will be going on my pivot mach 5.7. Good to hear you haven’t had any issues with them,

My commuting AS runs a 32/16 at the moment but is a bit too easy to pedal would a 38 be better or even higher on the front?

Well if I can’t choose my ukbikeskills session it would have to be……. My Pivot Mach 5.7 Carbon. 26 isn’t dead!

Cool I was wandering if there would be too much of an capability overlap between a LT hardtail and FS.

Hi there,

I have an 11 plate Mazda 6 TS2 2.2D estate . I came from an v6 A4 estate and honestly it out classes in nearly every way more comfortable, quieter, shed loads more space as in don’t even need to take the wheels off the bike (pivot mach 5.7C in large) to get it in the back. Heap loads of gadgets and it doubled my mileage and halved my tax from the Audi and imo the styling is much nicer. Oh and its quick too, nobody expects it! Only problem that isn’t really a problem is that it’s long as in doesn’t fit entirely in many parking spaces long lol

Because the mudhugger sits close it self clears

Mudhugger. Job done!

Just thinking does the DW link compensate for shock performance?

I don’t know tbh, I just ride and just deal with it

Can’t remember if you said you did or didn’t like these
