Industry Nine Enduro S – Hydra hubs on alloy rims come in at around £950 and are cracking wheels.

We Are One rims come in at £1400 on Hope hubs but £1700+ on Hydras

Poppy, nimble and a bit more plush? 140mm travel? 29″? – Evil Offering ticks all those boxes. Lovely bike.

Yes, just unscrewed. There was no barb in the end of the hose, looks like it screws onto one in the lever, so I put one in to make sure nothing leaked as I pulled it through the frame.

Nevermind! sorted it!

Looks class. RM make some fine looking (and riding) bikes

The Kingdom headtube badge looks class :)

Yeah they look great. Nice to see a spread of models hitting different price points too :)

A lot of PNW components sell through Amazon, bars, seatposts etc. With next day Prime too.

I have an EDC and haven’t had any problems, but I only really use it to top up, or in emergencies out on the trails. Mostly I’ll use a floor pump. Of course, the EDC has the added benefit that you can fit pretty much a toolkit inside it too :D

Nice Calling, enjoy!

Deity Copperhead isn’t far off, 30mm stack i think, and is a very nice stem

Looks like a lovely bike, not a fan of the new head tube badge though. Looks a bit clip art.

I’m running a 185 Bike Yoke Divine. Love it. I think it’s slightly cheaper than the Revive, but also benefits from an automatic bleed every time the post goes through its full travel cycle. You can also adjust travel easily.

Crikey, he had the patience of a saint, my blood was boiling just watching. Good job fella.

I love mine. I’m on the Offering and it’s more than capable around Peak District trails. Climbs well, lots of support mid travel but still supple enough to soak up big and small hits. Great fun to ride

No problems so far and they are quick to answer questions. I needed a bearing kit (there are a LOT of bearings and you do need to stay on top of them wearing) contacted them on Friday, emails have had a swift response. Bearings ordered and being delivered by DHL today (Monday). Dylan at Evil is also pretty active on the FB owners group which is a great resource for any questions.

Thoroughly reccomended.

Speccing and building a bike is so much fun. Enjoy!

Love my Vendetta. It feels like the perfect HT to me, and that raw finish <3

I just came here to ask about the same thing. Tried posting a pic (which I’ve never done on this forum), hit “image” entered url for the Flickr image, posted and got a critical error message.

Wasn’t sure what I was doing wrong, if it was the forum or flickr. Or just me ><

Recently built Kingdom Vendetta. So much fun to thrash around on, and <3 Titanium.

*apart from I keep getting errors linking to a flickr image.

I live on a National Trust estate, Saturday was nuts. Crazy busy, sunny bank holiday busy with crowds ignoring distancing and car parks overflowing. Fortunately, Sunday was a lot quieter largely in part to the NT shutting car parks and facilities.

It really doesn’t seem like people are grasping the situation, I wonder if we’ll look back at this weekend and realise all the people getting out in the sun were what finally tipped us over the edge. If only it had stayed pissing down and blowing a gale (never thought I’d say that!)

I went with Yakima Whispbars with the Highroad carrier.

The carrier hold the bike by the front wheel rather than a clamp around the downtube, which wasn’t going to work with the shock placement on my Evil. Also seemed kinder to a carbon frame.

Again, not cheap, but everything has been rock solid.

I’ve got Hydras on the Endura S rim. Only a few months on them (riding Peak District filth) but still running smooth and true, and I’m on the heavy/clumsy side. Instant engagement is wonderful. Distributor is down the road to me in Sheffield, so if there are any issues, shouldn’t be too much of a hassle to sort.

On the flip side, I’ve had 2 Hope hubs that have cracked at the spoke beds.

i emailed them a few weeks ago with a question about fit on my Kingdom. Still waiting for a reply. Yay, customer service.

I’ve found that more and more, CRC never have what I want in stock. I built up a bike recently, pretty much every component I checked for on CRC was out of stock. It’s been the same for helmets, shoes, almost everything I’ve looked for recently.

The last couple of big ticket items I’ve bought – Rock Shox Pike Ultimates and Sram AXS upgrade kit both came mail order from Germany and were significantly cheaper than anything I could find in the UK

Maybe keep an eye out for another Evil? You won’t regret it ;-)

V1 is the earlier model, but not much changed between that and the later model. I’d assumed that pic was the later as it has water bottle mounts.

I ride an Offering and love it. All Evils have a fun vibe to the way they ride by all accounts.

Ugly bike from a boring brand. But, ebike, so I’m sure the trails will be swamped with them soon enough.

Not Stans, but I have a 2.5 Vigilante and 2.4 trail Boss on I9 Enduro rims, and there was much swearing and 2 broken tyre levers.

Thanks chaps!

i rode spd for 20 years or so, until one winter ride when it was so cold the snow and ice turned my pedals into frozen snowballs. Thought it woul dbe a good time to try flats and I’ve been flats ever since. fivetens’s and Deity T-Mac pedals work a treat.

@Shasell I’m 6ft and my Large Offering feels perfect.

A bottle mount is nice, but not a deal breaker.

A couple of hours around the local woods: Water bottle and a One Up pump with tools inside. Anything more and it’s the trusty Camelbak.

Personally I hate luggage strapped all over the frame. Ugly AF.

Currently running Enve M7 bars and a 35mm Industry Nine stem. Feels good to me, plus you don’t see many i9 stems around. And the colour tart in me likes that you can spec a different colour faceplate :)

For pedals I highly recommend Deity T-Mac flat pedals. Amazing levels of grip.
