had a nice relaxing ride and a chill in the sun.

resolved.

RIDE TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

having fun

no grumpies :D

lol. :-)

Brighton sounds cool. I wish i could dj be cannot.. so Cd’s sound good :D

good grief. Know i know why i love ht’s :-)

oh dear i think i have listened to the bs. :oops:

top marks kaesae. liking that.

i think Jambo’s point possibly was that single pivot suit some folk. 4 bar others. Or maybe that learning adapt to whatever you have is the key.

I think this makes sense as I like single pivot because i like hardtails at heart. Having said that maybe a nice plush 4 bar would be a massive constrast too.

imho of course. Apologies for the self assured opinion.

Although in fairness i doubt stinkys were really designed for pedalling much

I have only used an air float.. so others may be better. I run air pikes upfront…is fine

Picture this…

A ride….A chill somewhere outside..Then a djing session, with peoples.. old vinyl…

brilliant idea. Where are you guys all based :D

Best advice I read was on a 1990’s acid house 12 Inch…

Something like get addicted to the music…( only!!!)

love single pivots! Love the taught feel when pedalling and the ease of living with them.Not really ever used much else tho. One thing i do know is i don’t like pedalling a kona stinky.

now that’s how to run a bikeshop.I if am in the area i will pop in.

seriously if you go for the coil. Keep it. Even if you don;t use it straight away. The DHX 5 transforms the older heckler. Even the DHX air appraently isn’t ideal for the older heckler compared to a coil. If you want light weight then you wouldn’t have chosen a heckler really. They are not heavy it’s just imho opinion to get the best out of them strong kit is better.Also make sure you protect the reat trianle well from cable rub. And make sure you run fulllength cables. Had all sorts of problems for normal non full length cbales. Also make sure the mech cable has lots of length. Had all sorts of ghost shifting occur initally although the cable looked fine in length – although basically it was too short

HAVE FUN and post a pic when finished ( unlike me haha)

little bunny girl. I have mamadirts old one. It’s a small. I run it for ages witrh an air shock and was ok. Fine for Xc stuff and a bit more. For Play riding stuff the dhx5 i have has made a massive difference. Coil is way better, The older heckler blows through it’s travel a little too easily with an air. Could never get it set up right for the tougher stuff. HAving said that i did consider getting the air pushed at tft.

However theya re brillient bikes, fun, tough. flickable, stable, reactive, fun, realiable, cheap to run, Look good and inspire you to ride harder. Tbh ypu’ll LOVE it whatever shock you have. 9 a coil judgin the the pic) Keep the coil if thats yours.

They been ridding on northshore, can be build up light for xc, pedal incredible well,build up tough for fr and feel great.

What type of build are you going for???

flatland was very emotional. Danny is just brill.

enjoyed that very much.

BANKSY is the superrrrrb!!!

i’d go for high rollers. Although i’ve never been to morzine. go for what the clearance is like.

i’d just stronger

i often wear a large bag, as it fits more securely than a smaller one for knarr stuff!

also my large dakine has straps for spare shin guards if i lend them out.
i can also take my helmet off and secure it on the backpack for a push up.

so basically apart from xc my small endura has little use.

bottle holder for lumis so yes.

live and let live

my 1st bmx – circa 1980’s

local singletrack in warm rain ;), mojo’s version of sgt pepper, guinness

fsa headset for cheap and great.

superdrug own brand childrens stuff. spf 50 and water resistant and very cheap. only used it once so far but it was good.

thanks all. your all brilliant!

seriously – look into aromatherapy for your dog.

Lavender oil applied in a solution or bath is very relaxing for humans.

Sure it would be ok for a dog in smaller quantities – check with a vet or specialist though.

standover isn’t essential but nice to have imo
sounds like you need something long and low.
have a look for something with a non straight top tube.

well done. pics??

i often repositon my feet for some types of riding. fr riding stuff

For pure xc stuff though, hardly ever do.

thing is spds are going to keep the movement within a range. flats don’t.

However i do not mean to offend, but i’ll never ride with spds.

ok thanks ton.
thanks all.

thanks. Thing is if i ride duckfooted then my knees are straight.
If i don’t so my foot is straight then my knees are pointing inwards.

ok cool. How do i change my duckfootness – any ideas? Just reposition my foot little by little over the period.
