Greeble – re. photoshoppery

Did you scale the “26” wheels down based on the numbers 26 and 27.5? If so I think your images will have overestimated the difference as 650b is not actually 27.5 in real life. In your images the difference in wheel size looks a lot bigger than other 26,27.5,29 comparison images I’ve seen. I’m probably over analysing your bit of fun to be honest!

@timmys

no, no scaling involved. overlayed the 26″ nomad over the bronson and made sure the components such as seatpost, saddle, cranks etc were all the same size which they were. I just used the nomad’s wheels and fork. and moved the frame relative to how the wheels sit

Sold!

Bronson 26″ it is then. *saves pennies*

and you get mud clearance for free!

Bronson 26’er

Is that a photoshop job?

yes. I had a spare 5 minutes.

sounds like over tightening causing the bearings to wear then once they have worn the headset goes loose

just wait n see sat all of what is on the map will be there

on another note

Bronson

Bronson 26’er

Bronson comp

are the cups pressed in square? the cups may not be sitting flat with the headtube. this will cause premature bearing wear

all these will be open

wont be a night out in town without a visit to Koolers

lBike Park Wales might boost the local economy in more ways than one…

There’ll be alot more high spec bikes being sold at local boots sales on weekends thats for sure!

look at surrounding towns like pontypridd,blackwood

Seriously! if you think Merthyr is bad, Merthyr has nothing on those two!
Aberdare country park is nice but that means staying in Aberdare! 8O

Personally: go to Bikepark Wales and get the **** out of dodge!

staying next to the mainline east/west trainline in flagstaf isn’t the best idea I’ve done the same.
Zion is amazing

I spent last september touring utah. There are some fantastic places to ride. Salt lake city has some good spots i.e. park city.
Virgin near Zion national park is the site for the red bull rampage.
vitalmtb have a good article here regarding southwest utah for riding

If you’re in Moah visit Arches national park some totally amazing stuff there! not for riding also head south and visit natural bridges national park and Page. all depends if you have the time ofcourse. I got in 2400miles in a week touring Utah

Mojo IIRC set me straight on my RP23 tweak so I’ll be going to them for a Push.

get the shock custom tuned and it’ll have nothing on the PUSH. people think their shock feels rubbish so use the magic placebo PUSH upgrade without considering what a custom shimstack tune could do.

you’re own fault for not assessing the trail ahead

Seatpost

bikepark wales in the mix too

or spend two days at bpw. it has nothing on cwmcarn

XL Santa Cruz Bullit?

I Strava’d my way to 3rd overall on the first black descent and 6th overall on the newer black B-Line section near the end so wasn’t hanging around either.

yeaaaaaaahhh Bro! go you

I like my gears for Wales thanks. 1X is ok for small hills

chappy doing the overtake was on a DH bike, others were on hardtails.

That was obviously a section of the course which favoured the DH bike!

urrm should have gone to spec savers

Go 1 x 9 / 10 / 11 & mount a RH lever upside down on the LH side.

yes I found that is the best way. its neat and tidy out of the way under the bar. your thumb is naturally under the bar so all you need to do is extend your thumb and press the button.
