mine fell apart after about 15 months 🙁 not bad considering i guess.

MTX are a pain when changing tyres too no?

mine seem to be anyway.

nice.

.5 of a mil is waaay too much for an 8 reamer as well. Theyre not cheap.

sounds like it’d be quicker to make a new one to me 🙂

don’t pass it on to bren though, he’s planning on welding a reamer into it.

reamers are old skool.

The 800 strong dyfi group ride.

should be called the dyfi big loop by rights shouldnt it?

grease will be fine 🙂

BTR all the way for me, i’ve been unfortunate enough to race against one half of the BTR gang this year.

That frame is a great piece of workmanship and also a legitimate downhill frame. He puts lots of people to shame on their 4k full suss bikes. Look out for him in the BDS this year.

To question the quality of that product is completely mad.

it was snow problem for me lad..

there are no ten foot snow drifts are there though.. 1-2 MAX

Ive been riding up there quite a alot recently. it’s fine.

how bad can it get round those parts? I dont understand?

I’d rather pay to get booted in the balls.

That was Crompton moor btw.

I used to ride up Oldham way but stopped after we found pieces of wood with nails driven through concealed on the trail. I’m pretty sure I know who it was, not sure if there might be a connection. It’s not far I guess?

I ride wherever I want.

I’m in love with my iphone5 coming from a htc on windows.

I beat it to death, the most satisfying thing i’ve done all year.

peeled.

ta dave 🙂

triples and big long seat posts 🙁

I’ll post a pic of mine in a second..

yeah there’s no argument here if you’re after value.

Yeah if you’re worrying about weight you dont know what you want.

The bolt is a brilliant frame.. it’s no slouch.

i couldnt live without drops on a commuter.

I’ll keep an eye out.

On the bright side.. at least you dont own a fatbike anymore 😉

big thumbs up for the langster here..

I just checked, 400 grams difference to my 09 surge

As with most things the price increase wont be relative. But I imagine it’ll be plenty nicer.

Not sure on the weight difference but it should make the stanton much easier to ride.

Ive ridden a surge lots for a few years now. I love it. It’s downfall is the 4130 it’s made from. It’s value for money but I really would like to swap it out for a slackline..

DMR Bolt.

I’m off to send a lap around degla shortly..

I think you’ll need a 10 specific mech.. and as the previous poster says you’ll be best off with a short cage.

That’s really disturbing 🙁

no you’re not allowed on the pavement but **** it, I’m on my way to B and I’ll be needing every limb when i get there.

I think alot of road cyclists are really unaware of how to get from A to B without getting knocked off.

I wonder how many have heard of a lifesaver? I rekon a huge number of deaths could be avoided with some sort of awareness campaign on the telly like the ones we have for motorcyclists.

+1 for bewleys.

I’d also add that the increased platform brings more control to your feet. You can use them as you would a set of flats.. ish.

you’ve got air in the system.
