Through the mill is a good one too, love that trail.

Cheers Poah, a couple of short mechs on the way!, Jenson are saying 20th for 11-42 cassettes, I’m cutting it fine getting this build sorted for the Alps

Sadly no 11-42 and medium mech yet :(

Ive run the combo in the Lakes dales ect on my trail bike, even uplift days without issue and that was tubed, I’m just being a bit paranoid about being under tyre’d, i may take a grid as a spare.

The perils of being thick and posting from a Smartphone lol, anyway if you’ve Finnished taking the pee can we move on from this Scandil.

I’ve seen worse described as “NEW” on eBay to be fair.

I love Streling silver.

Sorry I’m a d!ck.

I’ve a Genesis latitude 650B, it’s a good bit of kit, the frames are sensible money.

^ what Hora said

Butchers?

Wrong thread

My fave Alps bike was my 2011 Orange Patriot, 180mm, so much fun!, 160mm Enduro bike is a better all rounder.

Make sure you get over the Swiss side.

A sliver ov slash?

We stayed at the F1, there’s a place over the road that sell good beer, Its on a retail park but cheap and you can take your bike into the room.

I vaguely remember admiring that bike or one similar at the Ardrock last year, love the green!

Just deciding what crank length to order (170-175) and can’t find the BB height, what crank length are you guys running, and do you find the BB low/ pedal strike on tech stuff?

Sweet! Cheers guys, any tips for installation on new rims, key surface wipe with ipa stretch 3 laps?

Spent a fair bit of time in Thailand none of this surprises me.
Was only there yesterday and i miss the crazy place :(

Looking forward to hearing how these go, i should have a set waiting when I get back for my hols, I ordered black 8)

Rutland had some Hope Arch ex, I got some Flows from them last week got Topcashback £30 worth of reward vouchers too!

Not the HI, but I’ve got the 650b 20 so I believe most of the spec and tubeset is the same, it’s a great bike ans ride lovely.
Great bike for a grand.

Found some in Germany for £29.75 posted so it’s all good, strange they aren’t out here.

The concept store hasn’t got 27.5, plenty about in 26-29

They also have a long’ish wheelbase, so super slack and short’ist toptube is the compromise?
Long toptube super slack = Barge?

No swaledale ride is complete without doing fremington edge

Climbing that is! You gotta start with the Edge.

Quick update, I decided to go with the DVO, i was very close to ordering the Mattoc or Pike, but just fancied something different.
I look forward to posting my new Nicolai build soon!

They look bad, got pics?

forgot I also saw Vic Reeves, I use to own a house in Darlington ten doors up for where vic grew up, one morning I looked out of the window and he was sat on the pavement outside, they where doing a documentary.
Was a zero DERV scenario.

Peaty was also on the Diesel.
I met Bob Mortimer in the Boro Empire, I was on E and tried to get him to summon the Dove from above.

Cool story’s Bro’s

Normal pads for me, check more often, I run a set to 75-80% then pop them in my pack.
Ran sintered last year for two day’s (the second set hope give you with a V4) and they sounded like a wounded pig.

Good call wasaswas.

Young ‘un!
Genuinely flattered, not as good as getting id’d but close.
Now go feed t’whippet lad.

Charlie kelly, but probably not since the 70’s

Start a Charity.
Train to be an airplane driver.
Gender reassignment.
Cannabis farm.

Get a later one without rust and all the other issues corrosion brings.

Operation wolf
Time crisis

Thomas but in team James, gotta love that naughty red train.

I’ll be lucky to mine to 32, I dread to think what alpine worthy 27.5 tyres add.
