may be op was on a cheeky ride,and the owner thought that cyclists wernt allowed to ride on the footpaths

most people who have been once and saying they didnt have a problem navigating the trails usually find when they go back they missed half of the trail and all the best bits

have a ganda on crc,the vitus bikes

nowt wrong with it.makes it different

good tyres with 25psi tubeless. cannock is ace

brought the tyre inflator with 2 16gram co2 refills and 10 spares,turned up within a couple of days.tested inflator (on a schrader valve)and worked fine with no leakeage.cost about £17 with postage.only used once so cant comment on durabilety

only time ive had a problem on the wet pebbles was on some oe nobby nicks ,bloody dreadful tyres.just run my tyres a bit softer at cannock and wet shiney pebbles are never a problem,the loose pebbles on upper and lower cliff in the summer are a different matter.

used to run my 2.2 rubber queen around 25psi.

25 years of knee problems,cruciate ligaments are mush(surgeons words)severe osteo arthritis in both knees and loads of ibuprofen.still manage to get out on the mtb,use the granny rather than stomping on the pedals.mostly ride alone so i can go at my own pace.still get some airtime when having a good day but full sus is a must.defo get a diagnosis though.

did you manage to solve this problem

only happens to me when sealant needs topping up

is the bike in question a full suspension by any chance.try lifting bike up and down by the seatpost.

i would leave the old pads in when levering

2012 vitus escarpe 1 only upgrades are bar and stem,bathroom scales method, weighing in at 34 pounds.stock claimed weight is 27.5 pounds. scales must be wrong,i hope

cyclist comes across as a bit of a dick imo

would a lockout not put undue stress on the frame and linkages
