Mine was about two weeks after i was told it would be arrive.

I’m up in Aberdeen. I’ve had it since July. Done a couple of long days in the hills but mostly local trails. No issues so far other than the tyres. I work 2 weeks on 2 weeks off though so if your looking for long term reliability there are alot of people on here that have used theirs more than me.
Pikes with kirk is a really nice set up (but then in the tradition of single track forum, that is the set up that I have there for it must be the best solution).

Pikes up front and kirk in the Rear works for me!!!! Swapped out most of the running gear off my old bike. I changed the wheels too as i was pretty sure the mavic 819’s are made of cheese.

The Geax tyres are S##TE. Nice easy rolling but really thin alot of granite near us mine are in the bin already with massive tears.

I have used myhermes quite a few times recently to post full sus and HT frames no problems any of the times.
There was a recent thread about them but i’ve never had a problem.

Oh i’ve recently sent two frames with them. Really easy to use and a drop off point just a mile from my house. Got emails from the people i sent frames to saying the frames arrived no problem.

I demoed a load of bikes back in spring when considering a new bike. Certainly out of the bikes that I tested it seamed that its harder to find a really bad bike than it is to find a good one.

Its worth the effort to get out and demo if you can, reviews are too open to bias.

How about 5 pairs of these in different tints?

AWWWWWWWW i thought you were about to tell me about a new wheel size that accelerates better than 27.5″ but rolls better than 26″

Sheet of ply and screws. I’m not cool enough or organised enough to outline the tools

Do i qualify for both??

Some people will be along to tell you all about how rose tints are better for this and blue is better for that. It may be about 3% that but its 97% about looking cool.

Dirty Dans are fantastic in super sloppy conditions tracks so well. Just dont expect to go anywhere fast on landrover tracks etc, bit like pedaling a tractor.

I tested loads of bikes recently. Of everything i tested Banshee spitfire would have been my second choice. My brother who came along to a few of the bike tests with me wasnt even looking for a bike and ended up buying a spitfire because he liked it so much.

Hopefully i should have a pair of hope pro2’s with WTB frequency I25 rims sitting at home when i get back on monday!!!! First time not on mavic rims in about 12 years. Hope their good!

List of things that are not good for dogs
Just before you go filling your dogs bowl with tomatos. I know it says the toxin is metabolized over time so very ripe or rotten tomatos are not much of a risk but is it really a risk you want to take so that you can have nice grass?

2-3 movements in a couple of weeks isnt really enough. Most doctors would recomend 1 good movement a day. This WILL improve your riding and your general feeling of wellbeing.

Get the chilli one!!!!!!

You’ll need to get picks up once it’s built up hora!!!! Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Now its time to admit I’m old and get a steel 29er hard tail.

Emailed you Hora but heres the photos i have for now.

I’ve got a Med which is 16″ i think in Rootbeer that i’m about to sell. Just not got around to getting my ass in gear.

fit and forget, it wont annoy you or feel noticeably draggy

I used to run a stinger on a 2×10 slx groupset was a really good bit of kit for the ££

I’ve got the Normal paper bright (not 3G) its really good. Read loads while offshore(cause i dont watch football).
Cant think the 3G would benifit anyone. As above if you really need to down load something while out you could teather it to a phone. Or nip past a coffee shop wireless.

They are awesome!!!

@Burneep- Yup kirkhill.

Depends on the engine.
The more modern the engine the more fussy they are.

Before going biking a mate of mine filled his tank with petrol from near the red line in his 2005 tdci modeo. He realised just after he’d done it. Phoned a local mechanic mate who didnt seam all that conserned just said go buy some cheap engine oil and fire that in to thicken things up a little and run it and keep topping up with diesel when you get a chance. It will be fine.

It was fine. No issues

Mondeo engines are pretty rough and ready. so as previously stated depends on the engine

Pair of michelin pro 4 endurance course £9.97 SWEET!!!!!!!!

MAY gets you £10 off £99

I’m sitting waiting bouncing off the walls waiting for mine!!!!!
I did only order it a week ago.
I rode Cultsdaves demo X-team when he had it. Really liked it even though it was a little big for me.

I’ve ordered it with BOS kirk rear and fox forks, wanted the deviles but couldnt bring myself to pay £460 to upgrade from the fox floats

These are amazing and also on the grand scale of crisps they’re pretty good for you

Endura MT500 knees are awesome, ride long days in them no problem comfy and machine wasehd all the time. MT500 elbow pads however i dont get on with they are too stiff and restrictive.

Me and mrs BBQ stayed in the park too nice hotel.

Its for a mixture of devices, Ipad, macbook, windows laptop, possibly phones etc.

A FAR better plan is just to eat them. They melt when you dunk them in tea anyway so i dont see any problem

Smartay – It was low. It managed foresty carparks but it had to be slow. Was super stiff so it wasnt plesant but it got there.

Did a trip to fortwilliam for the world cup fully loaded(5people, stuff for a week, bikes and beer). Wore the rear tyres through to the ply. On the way home we were lighter 1 less person and no beer so it was ok.

As standard it would have ridden a little higher and i think it would have been ok.

Miss it soo much.
