Bucko – I don’t choose it over Smallacombe but strickly Smallacombe descent isn’t a bridle way. Also in the winter Smallacombe approach is v boggy and gets cut up so I try and avoid calving up foot paths. From me I can get in a quick blast withoug having to cyle right up to Haytor (I dont use the car at all for riding locally) :) Hope Mini Bucko is doing OK?

W1zard really don’t know – look stupid and is worse to ride down as its soo loose and gravely! Grrrr

All done mate :) There is a fair amount of roady stuff on there so you’ll have to sift through that ;)

If you have fork oil for servicing then just use that – tiz whats inside?

I got a 2 year old Spesh S-Works SL2 Tarmac frame and fork – pretty cheap a few years ago in a sale if that helps

Ignore the road rides ;) – if you you got back a few months should be a few on there :)

bqd – Plenty of routes on my strava profile (Live in Bovey)

http://app.strava.com/athletes/208771 – if you wanna follow :)

W1zard – They have ruined the Leighon Descent with hardcore :( So so annoyed!

I’d go with stiff but soft too ;)

I sold my 26er HT and then waited a few weeks for the SYNC so I couldn’t neglect it LOL ;)

@_Tom – thx mate – she’s such a good all-rounder – I cycle to work on her, great winter bike and unless I’m going balls out fab for riding around Dartmoor hills with the Apex groupset :)

Yeah DPD pretty quick usually about 2 days in transit after order shipped :)

In my experience, steel bikes need repainting after about 15 years. I can live with that.

That’s fine – I like Ti but it’s not for everyone – what ever works for you mate :)

I got 2 Ti bikes now and love them – similar ride to HQ Steel but without the paint/rust issues :)

My new Kinesis SYNC

Did JOGLE on the GF Ti last year and was perfect :)

Cheers Dez :)

I’ll mention it to Mrs Fox Little Miss Panda :) Thanks snakebite – Mrs Fox is going to look at them tonight :)

Went there 3 weeks ago – Fab! http://mydogtagadventures.com/les-arcs-mountain-biking-trip-summer-2013

LOL – not looking to swap :)

Cheers both – yeah I have offered the hybrid upgrade to her current bike but I think she wan’t the retail therapy :) Thx Zilog will have a look :)

Hmm – Usually cope with stuff fairly well but have done a lot recently (biking and photography) in the last year – it’s odd as it only lasts about 2-3 days and I am back to normal – Thx anyway – goinf to Docs on Friday now.

Nope – no probs with the GXP Hope convertor spacers to date :)

I got these ones if that’s any help – all good :)

Thanks Timc – No a very kind friend who is a great graphic designer, Simon Bradley (also a MTB nutt) did it for me @_Si_Bradley for some landscape prints :)

I used to live near Lewes as a kid :)

No I got the Bronsons – very easy to mount tubless tbh – seem pretty good alrounder atm – used to a Kenda Nevegal Tubless Fr and Crossmark rear combon on my 26er HT and the Bronsons seem OK ATMN but not pushed them yet :) I guess the Slant’s are a little lower profile?

I have been into landscape photography for the last year (hence my absence on STW) so thought I’d apply it to some bike porn too ;)

Modified from the FF29 build pack :)

Nice build rewski (Is that the downs in the background? – Yeah I went for the std build so SRAM X9 so no direct mount available that I know of but I may change groupset in time when bits wear out ;) although SRAM may go DM?

She’s a beaut for sure – fell in love after seeing the proto :) hopefully the weather will hold tomoz :)

TBH not ridden it enough so far. The recommend weight:psi is a little high so just set it to 25% sag. Reviews suggest the slider SL2 take a little time to bed the seals (like I used to have to do with Fox forks) so early days yet but I have yet to drop the saddle for a slow droppy descent yet – Day off tomoz so will go for a decent ride :) Prob get myself a dropper soon as well to make the most of the potential :)

An old one of my dads I inherited – about 15 years old – It’s similar to this one: Pipe Cutter

Chrs Mrblobby – Yeah me too – bit more effort but nice to have a record :)

A bit more riding today – she flies and carries speed well – let a bit more pressure our of the Slider Forks and tyres down to 35psi and feels much better.

Just got mine today – it’s very nice – build pics will be posted :)

Thx Dom for designing a super looking frame – can’t wait to get it built up this weekend!

It’s a gorgeous looking bike – I’ve got the kit and building it myself for my blog #extatic :)

Just ordered my Kinesis SYNC full build – can’t wait!

3 1/2 MTB ride Friday night with a new riding buddy. Went out walking with Mrs Fox and camera to Venford Falls:

Went for a 40km hilly road ride then went out with Mrs Fox at sundown and shot the Supermoon and the wonderful sunset :)

29er – I join the herd of sheep LOL – but my other 2 are 26 so I am crosser ;)

Just back-ordered myself a kinesis SYNC full build – exciting – End of June hopefully :)

Nice lid lank45

Yum :) (sorry about the anal watermark – automatic) ;)

Fantastic!

yeah I was very open about the link but there you go :)
