Small block 8's all the way 🙂

lol yeah, compared to the decent down to the reservoir.
Coming the other way would be more difficult imo.

To rephrase, the seat tube looks incredibly slack.

You’re coming down from Brevent aren’t you? Good?

To the OP – me and my riding partner, gave two of our tubes away for people with tubeless. More hassle than there worth in my opinion.

My mate has a full sus, me with a hard tail. Overtook everyone on the gap run down with no problems. I saw a torque rider with Rocket Rons 😀

No wonder people were getting pinch flats. Although I was on Maxxis small block 8's – no problems.

running 40psi front and rear.

MidlandTrailquestsGraham – You were just behind me, 2 minutes. it’s a shame that I had Sporty pal on my phone, but battery ran out at 4 hours 22 minutes. On the short steep climb to the gap.

I’m going to input your GPX file to my sporty pal. Thanks dude.

You did the Temptwr trail – the purple apple one. ffs no wonder you didnt like it. Thats an easy family ride with 1 downhill section.

should of done the Beast or MBR imho.

Morzine, 1st time DH, loved it.

LoCo thanks, the lower legs have been off, they seemed alright for a few weeks and now this has only started to happen.

Im going to take the lowers off, check and put some 15wt oil in and see what they feel like. If its stiff fubared then off I go to TF tuned.

Thanks for all suggestions. been very helpfull.

speshstumpyworks – 🙂 because Alu is not real?

Ive had bad service from CRC and very good service! refunded £188…
Although my stiffee at xmas had 2x bent hangers one after the other.

I will still buy as they are cheap! YOU get what you pay for.

Why would you go for a 456 0n-one anything, get a stiffee! 😉

trust me, its worth ther extra cash.

Just placed an order for 15wt oil and will do this in the weekend. Ive done it before. Purhaps the bumpers are in the way…

Nicolaisam, I Dont.

Im interseted in this thread. See post:

http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/revelation-2010-150mm-help

Im only getting 110mm out of 150mm. I also took the lowers off and cleaned. A tiny bit of suspensin oil. worked for several rides, 2 weeks later and this:

I have a 09 19.5inch Stiffee, Took it too Morzine 6 weeks ago and loved it. As Disco808 said, the harder you ride it the more rewarding it is. I have mine with 150mm Revs and race it, lol its ace.

Jim Kirk – I 'raced' a Stiffee at the weekend, I think I saw your bike, was it a creamy yellow?

I also had an S works Enduro mentioned in this thread. Suffered from lower back pain with that. Moved to the stiffee, realised that it’s a fit issue not the bike as much as you'd think.

I now do not suffer from back pain with the HT. maybe it’s the way you ride, no disrespect! On full sus bikes people sometimes get lazy when riding eg. Sitting down.

On my Stiffee whenever it gets rough I’m on my legs – only sitting down get rid of lactic acid etc. although got a little painful in Morzine.

Any other opinions?

How did you get the lowers off? I have unscrewed the bolts then 'tapped' the schrader valve. that has come dislodged but the lowers wont slide off.

Do I need to do anything on the compression side?

Just close one eye as it will not help. I used to do this alot…
Now I just stand over the top tube and 'keeping both eyes open' and messure it from there.
Works fine.

Bike shop put mine on backwards just befoer my Alps trip. not happy as they probably made a mistake.

Bazzer – Flowmtb for me also. going with a bunch I guys I dont realy know, but do dh. i'll be there on the 10th.

Well im in the same boat as you, Im off to Morzine in 4 weeks and have no DH experiance. Although I did go to Chamonix last year on my Enduro and loved every second.
like you Ive done the Cwmcarn XC route 100 times + and I realy do 'go for it' on the decent. Now you've got me thinking… 🙁

Ah fair enough. Blue combo was on my other bike and obviosly got handed down down to this one. The stem is 90mm 10% rise. Fits 'me' perfectly.

mk1fan – I live 10 minutes from westbury where TF tuned are. WIll call them tmorrow.

The Forks are the Rock Shox Revelation Race Dual Air Forks 2010 .

How do you make a Cove stiffee look wrong? 140mm Travel Hope thoughout.
Just because I have the saddle high. Im 6ft not a dwarf. Could you explain 'why' it looks wrong. I may agree :/

Problem is with you winning, Is that I cant use my tyre choice as an excuss. 🙂 need to tell my self to ride more…

robdeanhove – Im sure if not you then somone else on small block 8's was chatting to me just after the section we (Spam) call the Rollercoaster. I was on a cove stiffee running 2.0's small block 8s. not the best tyre for the nights riding although did get ridable by 3am. Good crack, well done guys.

I need to go to bed and get some sleep for the onslaught!
on the red cove stiffe, got some DH tyres on as it may be muddy. LOL but probably put my Small blocks eights back on…

See you there.

Well if it get 'that' wet then I'll be bring my High rolers and minion that I brought for the Morzine trip in a month. will proably be better than my SB8's.
Course holds up quite well though.

Still looking forward to it even if its a mud fest.

Sleeping Monday, As im doing the Set 2 Rise SPAM event.
good stuff.

tbh they did give me the shits… I'll admit not a good enough reason not to go.

Yep certianly is. Top course and ive just signed up for the SOLO.

Try these, Its where im staying in July also.

stiffee all the way!
Cant stand the gas pipes.

Think it took 3 mins to sink. My grandad was Jack Morris on that crew list.

Just found this, Obviosly wasnt on the Hood when it sank.

My Grandfather was on the HMS Hood 4 weeks before the battle. I believe he was reassigned to another ship.

Lucky i'd say.

You mean take the spacer out!? any guides?
