I’ll be taking my boy there Sunday afternoon and scaring myself trying to learn some new skills. You’ll recognise me, I’ll be the other old bloke.

i950 is the upgraded version of the i900 that is tested in the latest issue of Singletrack magazine.

Tested in the latest issue of the Singletrack magazine….and they are very good.

I too have a beard so you can trust me….

I’ve been riding flats since the summer and really like the feel of the big platform. I found I developed new skills because I had to, like properly unweighting the bike, getting c of g lower and generally being more aware of moving more of my body – the effect of moving my ankles, feet as well as everything else. I seem to feel more of what’s happening with the bike through the bigger platform.

Of course everything can be done spd or flats, we know that, but I know what I like. I also like grippy pedals and sticky 5.10s, why would you not want to have grip on the bumpy stuff?

In an mmm bop they’re gone. In an mmm bop

Until you lose your hair. But you don’t care….

As I said in my review they are RECOMMENDED. Been out in my 3/4s tonight and I am crisp and dry 🙂 Best buy of the lot.

Plus, as a bonus, you would have probably got blown off up at the Puffer last night….

Yes I take Nial (11) out with me especially for downhill and I go Isla biking with Greta (3) and take her on the back of the Ute. It’s great we’re like the Athertons, but shorter.

And I was just thinking that I’d had a bad nights sleep.

Test of these adjustable posts coming in the upcoming issue of the mag. My Superstar one (K900i) has been totally reliable for the last 5 months. It’s excellent.

I’ve got one of those old trackend dropout Inbreds. It’s got a weird blue USE post in a shim!

What size seat clamp is it anyone know? It’s about time I stuck a QR on.

Yes 1.30

Here are the details

Ride there man, that’s what I’m doing 🙂

Oh yes indeed.

I bought the Alpkit bag. It’s a bit heavier but a lot cheaper than the high end alternatives. Oooo I feel a January bivvy with bonfire coming on.

Wingnut Enduro Pack – light, comfy and stable, side pockets = ace
Pure Racing Cobra i900 seat post – reliable and practical
Altura Attack 3/4 waterproof shorts – dry nads
Ibis Mojo – pretty and hardcore
Kona Ute – absolute blast; carry kids, shopping, spare wheels and go fast downhill in comfort

Pure Racing post has been working for me with no problems for going on 5 months.

Nah, no one there. Come home we miss you 🙂

Ride on the Ute with daughter and mince pies on the back.

Worth checking by phone to make sure they have stock.

Bummer…..but if you will go off drops!

Out on the Ute with the family

Well done boys. Happy Christmas to everyone. Drink now.
