    Theres a new review on wideopenmag.

    Not ridden the evo but my lt 29 stumpy is brilliant. Get yourself out on a test ride if you can.

    Also.. the uci have no credibility whatsoever when it comes to doping.

    Nobody cares about recreational drugs in sport. In competition obviously you cant be high but out of competition nobody gives a bollocks.

    The idea that being more prone to risk bringing a competitive edge is far fetched at best and also youd have to be doing whatever drug that is during competition.

    Id guess somebody has popped for some steroid or something in a teinted supplement.

    Due process.. then bombers. Thats the schedule.

    Could just be some nonsense from a shitty supplement or even recreational drugs.

    Who does the testing anyway??

    Easily the most fragile and costly phone i have ever owned. The screen would crack without any help whatsoever. Probably got about 5 new screens in total. Just the worst.

    Good luck.. but if it goes again my advice would be get rid!

    The content is just too cringeworthy these days.. i just cant be a part of that anymore and it feels good to be out of the loop.

    Ive been riding the standard 29″ stumpy ’19  in alloy and im really really lov8ng it now after sorting out the settings.

    Like andybrad says though.. even my 29″ standard long travel model is low. I get quite alot of pedal strikes compared to what im used to.

    Testosterone classes 🤣

    Or what about wang length and girth classes.. thatd be just as good as testosterone classes.

    I just cant believe how stupid people can be. I cant.

    Its really not that complicated.. certainly not in Rachels case. Its clear cut. Its cheating.

    Life is not fair.. that doesnt mean its okay to cheat.

    Incredible that as a professor on the subject the best reply to that question she could come up with was basically.. ‘no i dont think i have an advantage because sometimes i dont win’.

    I dont really believe she doesnt realise her obvious advantage over the other competitors.

    Sure Mr Tyson… as long as your test levels hit the target on the day we test you youre grand. Box the face off em and we’ll all cheer you on.

    I always pack a machete and a mini shovel in the camel back for this very scenario.

    I feel like a lot of people who commute do a really bad job of managing risk. So many of the roads in the uk are just too dangerous to ride on. Blows my mind sometimes when i see people that are clearly otherwise really sensible riding on them. Often when theres a pavemwnt right next to them!! Yes i know its not really legal to ride on pavements but often its the only aensible choice aside from pushing.

    Op.. i think youve seen the light. Youre route sounds far too dangerous. Youre clearly at risk. Id say either reroute or get on the pavement on the stretches you feel youre most at risk on.

    Life is too short and fragile for that shit.

    Just did 4 days in scotland. Dalbeattie, Ae, Innerleithen twice, Glentress and Kirroughtree. Hard to beat when the weather is good and all within a hundred miles of each other.

    Popping a whitey infront of him is the best suggestion ive seen so far.

    Fingers crossed its the same shit northwind has been smoking.. 🙈

    I love the ‘its gay’ argument.

    Sure theres nothing more masculine than getting ragdolled by a three stripe white belt before the blood that serves your tiny homophobic brain is cut off.

    When im in that situation id be likely to just find a nice little dh trail that i can do a bunch of push up laps on rather than going out on an xc ride.

    Another vote for torx.. ive used it countless times always works although im not sure how badly corroded your grub screw is so id err on the side of caution and smash it with penetrating oil for a few days before going for it. Hammer the torx driver in proper..

    Its only a fad diet if you go through a bunch of different diets. I guess ive been fasting this way for a number of years albeit less frequently.

    Also, for me personally its not for losing weight.. i could lie on the couch all day shovelling in ginsters and fray bentos without my weight changing by more than a kilo or two. The idea that you should eat several meals a day is probably quite a recent one.

    Your body does lots of positive things if you just stop shovelling stuff into it once in a while.

    I fast but i dont do it every day.. maybe 3-4 out of seven. And only for about 16-17 hours. I can train in the morning without food no problem, if i was competing or doing a really big ride i probably wouldnt do it fasted but an average 2 hour is no problem.

    Keeps me lean and feeling good. 3-4 meals a day everyday is bullshit imo. Theres a lot of good evidence for fasting INTERMITTENTLY. no need to go mililtant on it.

    Give withington cycles a bell.. the owner lives round the corner and rides marple regularly year round.

    Agreed.. you sound super bitter dude. Most people in a loving equal relationship would never speak about there oh like that if they cared.

    Im no expert but ime being able to sit in a deep squat with no weights whatsover for a minute or few can decompress your spine and rid you of lower back problems. Its easier to hold onto a table leg or whatever if youre just starting out. We spend most of our time with our spines loaded (standing up or sitting down).

    Its an important part of staying moblie for grapplers who of suffer with back pain/trauma consistently.

    Deadlifts are simple as long as you start clever dont think youre eddie hall.

    Bodybuilding is to lifting as boxcercise is to boxing.

    Thats not the case i dont think? I heard theyre allowed trace amounts and rightly so.

    Everyone loves to hate these days.. if it wasnt for people like elon with a bit of personality and a streak of madness the world would be a very boring backward place.

    There should be a four letter code on your shock somewhere.. you can stick that code into the fox website and thatll tell you which spacers that particular shock takes.

    Yeah cable locks suck.. most oxford stuff sucks too. I used to be a fan of abus but theres a little known company called Pragmasis that have some great products if youre in the market for a new chain.

    Im currently riding the ’19 comp alloy 29er.. i know what you mean about the back end feeling a bit numb. A mate of mine refuses to ride spesh for that very reason… he said its just the way they feel with the linkage design. Coming from a mojo hd its very apparent.

    Ive been getting ontop of the shock settings and that has been having results.

    And like you say the big tires wont help either.

    All told though its a weapon. Eats up the rough and fast.

    I stopped at the start of this year too..

    The Erdinger alcohol free beers are always in the fridge these days. Theyre my favourite 👍
