Deda.

Kids loved it I fell asleep! Not great.

ta!

6’3″ with 34″ inside leg here on a large Nerve Al 29er, fit is great with a 90mm stem(size that came on it), I think the Spectral has a longer top tube though.

I like Bc Trail kings , Hans Dampfs and at the moment High Roller 11’s all great tyres.

150mm pikes on mine and a great match, had 140 floats on briefly and not as good.Mk 10 and 11 are 650b compatable only differences are stealth routing and adjustable headset on mk11. Ace bike’s

6’2″ here and rode a 20″ with a 50mm stem, about to advertise a really clean chrome grey 20″ for sale :oops:

Just buy the bike or bikes you want and like then ride them.
Why should anybody else give a sht what bike your on!

Have had a Nerve 29er for just over a month and think its great, the ride is fantastic and build quality is outstanding!

Trout ygm.

Rik in not understanding faceitious comment post!

Trout yeah that was the first and main mail, I will email you later on and arrange sending it.

Trout is your email still the same? mailed you re my mini a few times recently.

Douche!

My 26″ Five with Hans Dampf measures a perfect 27.5, I’m so lucky :)

Poc trails gone ,plenty more in Cademuir though.

Got a Poc and a Giro Feature both comfy and wouldn’t say one was hotter than the other, also got a Uvex Xp cc which is super comfy and better vented/cooler than the others.

He is just a local lad who rides around wearing all his Monster gear on his Stinky!

Conti sidewalls are definitely fragile one weekend in Dumfries had a Black Chilli Mountain King TR unable to stay inflated tubeless as the sidewalls were shot then the replacement Rubber Queen BC lasted about four weeks of local riding before it was the same! The Baron on the front lasted about three months which although better is still not good, shame as they are all great treads :( Hans Dampf snakeskin back on now. MK and RQ were both protection BC and not the lightweight RS type which must be like silkwalls!

Gav from Soul Cycles here bike and owner have/will be reunited shortly:) it was actually The Edinburgh Cycle Co. who had it offered and recovered the bike we only had it on our Fb page, this does seem to work well as we’ve recovered a fair few bikes recently.

Conti and Stans both work well, Conti seemingly far more environmentally friendly if that kind of thing matters!

All good for me!

Just used the black xt torx one’s that were on the chainset and worked fine.

Wurth ultra 2040 is the biz!

geared 1 x 10 32 front 11 – 36 rear.
ss 32 x 19.

Uvex xp cc is a really nice helmet with plenty coverage plus its light and well vented so all good!

tiktox are good.

It’s a Reynolds 525 frame with Campag throughout and is lovely !
Pricey though!!!

As someone who has been riding 29er for a good few years, IMO 26 are the ones to go for in the long travel variety, much better on the technical stuff. Agreed again big wheels suit my local stuff and trail centres but much prefer 26,s on tech steep stuff!

Polton Road and The Cast between Loanhead and Bonnyrigg are always good for hill training.

Just had a quick look and my exact steerer length is 217mm and there is about 1.5mm below the stem top, so removing spacers i would still need 202mm for current setup.

Don’t think so,reckon you would still be about 10mm short!

I have same frame and my steerer is 215mm, hope headset renthal stem with 5mm spacer below and 10mm above.

So when your charging through the woods at night you can blast your mates and imagine your Luke Skywalker obviously :)

Motorex is great.

Any old cycle computer will do! picked one up earlier and seems good,like the any bike no fork sender simplicity.

It’s not just the outer sleeve on a HV shock is it?

Two fractured here two and a half weeks ago, couple of commutes this week has improved my mood and hope a couple of weeks more and will see me back to almost normal! Sleep is a nightmare though.

Some great riding around Bonnyrigg and all over Midlothian, get in touch when settled and i can show you around.

Ace!
