36:20 Half fat – hurt a little

Sounds rubbish,will give it a miss 8)

Best way would to be to buy a White Industries Eno eccentric rear hub, does away with the need for chain tensioners and gives the cleanest lines. Have converted a couple of bikes this way and works very well.

Sounds cr*p to me! I’m in.

Belgium ;-)

I have Mission Workshop one, bombproof and waterproof, comfortable even on 30k rides

Trail 42 Bamboo tech Tshirt , great fit, wicks well and looks great

Had a diamond,got a SF- use it for everything , even used on 4X circuit and DH, maybe not as quick or as comfortable in these situations as a full susser, but very capable. Handling is great and with a 29 up front feels quick. can’t comment on using gears though on a jones though..

Yes it’s still open, the new extension does not currently effect the existing trail,staged openings are planned , have fun.

I’ve ridden one and infact ordered one. I agree the colour of the RS isn’t as good as it could have been, but was impressed with the ride enough to buy comparing it to my 2012 Five which Is. Great bike in its self.

Ride one

Yes the 2012 was a Pro

I borrowed one and was surprised how much better it was compared to my 2012 five, so much so I’ve ordered one.

It’s 3lbs lighter, climbs better and still felt nimble. I tested a few bike and the RS was my favourite

@roverpig not sure it would makes that much difference as mine is 1×10!

I have ridden the 650b and compared to my five I found :

When you first get on feels very much like a normal five.
Climbs better, it is 3lbs lighter then my 2012 model.
Rolling speed is quicker ( slightly)
As with the five, when this go downhill or technical it comes alive.
Loved the 1×11 setup
Hated the avids
Stealth dropper is a nice touch

Dry out , trails dry though a few muddy patches in the usual areas, forecast looking good for the weekend

It’s all lies, these trails don’t exist ;-)

Quit your jibba jabber 8)

36:20

Yesterday was mainly dry with a few puddles about , pretty quick drying but will depend on how much rain we get between now and then

Have fun out there

If anyone can get me a pair or twoI would be most grateful

Bugger need two pairs, out of stock

Please delete,wrong section sorry !

There’s so much more to do other than the Verderers too, the DTV are currently extending the Freeminers trail plus the miles and miles of natural single track.

Are you sure it’s the fork? I’ve had occasional judder on my truss and my jones uncrown – common parts: brakes and wheels, I would put money on the brakes over the fork

I love my five, but love my single speed more, it’s the only reason I’m selling mine,simply not using it enough in the Mountains.

in all my years of riding, I have only seen one rear mech damaged

Mayhem last year I was surprised just how many mechs had been ripped off , I saw maybe 15, which is the most I had ever seen – mental.

Just seen the local weather , gail force winds and heavy rain 8O

Conditions better today than the last week, Verderers is all rideable, though a few puddles about the place, ice now gone. Sunny today and forecast for tomorrow to.

Conditions today better than yesterday, exposed sections are icy, muds not to bad as frozen. Snow is minimum and again less around than yesterday.

Yeah, bring it on………(but only if there’s stickers lol!)

nice to hear the wonky ring has found another convert

:wink:

That tensioner looks awesome.

*t’was a joke 8)

Angry? Who’s f**king angry?

Went out yesterday and was surprised just how slippery it was, after the dry spell a bit of rain and everything’s greasy. Fair few puddles already, so FoDs in summer conditions :roll:

I posted a set of wheels out last week by the post office-£8 8)

Tazzy, I’ve had a couple of pairs of Luv Handles, great bars and a nice quality feel about them. Different angles to H bars but same principle.

Also the Luv Handles are on a 3 month waiting list :(

Yes.
