Take Ethan(6 years) down about once a month,been doing this since just after his third birthday and he has progressed from green through to doing the full red,he absolutely loves the place!
Bought a bmx in Jan and tried getting on with it for 6 months,but after twenty years of not riding one just wasn’t getting it back! anyway love chucking small bikes with bigger wheels about. Penicuik and Transgression
parks.
built it up with black bars but went with blue to tie in the blue
dmr logos on the forks and bars, never normally do colours but this
is a “fun” bike so a splash of colour does it for me!
My brother had his Hope 2 done and having done a few night rides recently can confirm Wow! outshines my Trout mini on all levels(marginally :D ) Seventy beer tokens well spent!
Set up a Minion dhf 60a folder on a friends xt rim recently, went up with a track pump no probs,he runs it just below 30psi and hasn’t had any burps. Use the recommended amount of sealant.
As deanfbm less grippy than 5.10’s but still plenty of grip
and although not welly boot like they stand up to a good bit wet
riding! dry very quickly as well. Sizewise im an 11 in each so similiar
sizing(10 in ordinary shoes/trainers).
I got a pair of the Teva’s today,seem really well made and after a short wet ride they definitely seem waterproof. Grip is good but not as grippy as 5 tens more like Shimano am40’s.
I had a problem with an 2010 St4 and went straight to Orange’s
own warranty dept rather than the shop(who were crap!)outcome
was i got a 2011 Five frame and a good deal on a Thomson post and
Hope headset, this was all dealt with in good time scale and great
communication from them throughout so my exprience of them is very
positive! Didn’t really want a Five but now i have one its a great
incredibly versatile bike.
