Hit up Merge decals.

Didn’t think I was in the minority…

I pressure wash both of mine. Use muc off too.
No bearing life issues (Run all Chrisking/Banta Cruz/Shimano/ Sram high end chains)
Nomad hasn’t even done a set yet and it gets rode everyday and washed a few times a week.

Burgtec MK2 Enduro stem?

Yeah Kev is the man.

I’ll happily show him round congleton way too.
I’m 18 and live in Alsager.

Schleyer, dirt merchant or Fade to Black

I wouldn’t go for a tues. Me and my mate have both broke the 2015 carbon ones.

I have a set for sale if they’re any good to you.

Oh yeah, forgot 6 shock bushings across 2 bikes.

Ha, nope. Always looked after with no expense spared.

Whistler and basque country had a lot to do with the above as did some crashes.

I ride hard and regularly.

And also break most of the items I run in some fashion

Mine does that, Pretty sick.

Until it tells me to go to random rural addresses late at night… which it does a lot.

I know a sponsered shwalbe DH rider that does over winter.

I’ll be there again next year.

It’s true, out of bike park is amazing

Anything trail wise over crankworx is rough as ken

You don’t need a DH bike but it helps slightly.

My favorite bits were Dirt Merchant, Original Sin, In Deep and BC Trail.

I Like my lb 35mm dh rims.

Done a lot on them and they’re sound.

Will be buying a second set soon I reckon.

I’m light and ride very aggressively, coming off a flow ex that I cracked in 3 places and was flat spotted everywhere.

Think I’m gonna run flows in whistler next year though.

Bikes and doing rad shit

Some crazy low pressures.

I Weigh a little over 150lbs and run 26 front 30 back in wet and more in dry.
Casing roll is grim.

I ride smooth and aggressively.

Revs is fine on my nomad.

Farr side you take a bit of a beating in the steep but otherwise fine.

Bust my ankle ligaments by gapping into braking bumps flat out of the bottom woods though last time haha.

Shortys are very good

Yes, a few weeks ago.
Did it on the nomad and then the dh bike.

DH bike was better, I think I did it in just under 14 mins top to bridge.

I use lucas red and tacky with a small different grease gun with a very thin end.

Works a charm and has done for the last 6 months/ 2000 miles.

Cheers for the input chaps.

Which version is everyone running?
The sapphire?

Yes, It’s very very good.
Mines fairly pimp however it started basic.

Easily 29lbs with a fairly poverty spec I found.
They seem to work better the more aggressive and faster you go.

It climbs very well for it’s size but you do get some front end lift if giving it the beans on the steeper bits. I raced DH on mine for a while and did just fine.

My thoughts exactly.
Same issue as you describe and I weigh 10 stone 8.

I’ll be watching this.

Like my DHR2’s too. They’re yet to make a 60a one though. 3C only.

BETD Goldtec have most of the maxxis range in stock.

BETD Goldtec have all maxxisin stock in stoke on trent.

All maxxis tyres in stock at BETD Goldtec.

I’m a santa cruz fanboi and dislike the new nomad colours.
I’m on the magenta this year and will be sourcing a stealth one next year and putting white graphics(syndicate style) on.

25-200 on all the local cheeky stuff.

48MPH on a NS Suburban down the killer mile.
35MPH down Charity lane… Loose rock.

I’m running DHR2’s. Mint tyres, BETD in Newcastle have the full range in.

My E4’s were good for about 8 months and then lost all performance.

I now run XTR Trail levers on Saint Callipers.

Will be there from 4th to the 19th of August on the Nomad. Cannot wait!

Wouldn’t change mine for anything

Got mine from TF,they set it up perfect first time.

Very helpful

I’ll be trying to enter

Bikes bikes and more bikes

Cheers chaps

Currently on Flow Ex’s which are looking tatty but serve a good purpose.

I’ve been told by a few people that there’s a new bronson coming out this year.
