Lord stones loop was a route in mbr a few years ago, A real good route.i was planning to start from lord stones cafe.

I’ve just emailed schwalbe, see what they say and go from there.

Thanks for all the help

Age wise there less than 12 months old, always ran them between 80-90psi
Stored in my integral garage
Could It be a quality issue?

Bikescene have one on the shop floor, priced at £1450, revs upfront mix of race face and slx from what I saw.
it’s pretty damn nice. Shame I’ve just bought a crush otherwise I’d have got one

Yeah I stayed away from nomad, gonna wait till it drys out.

Ah ok thanks

Very nice, love niners

Yeah I need to fine tune it to my needs.

Purgatory no good?
I’ve only been out on it once and it felt grippy, seemed to roll fine. I had nobby nics in my last bike which were skittish as hell. Fast though

Any recommendations for front tyre?

The bike came like that, things need changing but over time

Endura single track trousers here to, had them quite a few years now and there still going strong.
Really good buy and look decent to

I have a halfords one, pretty decent.

I’m also a roadie, but I might try flats for a while and see how I get on

I know it’s a very personal thing. Just getting a general sensus of majority really. I have spd’s and the new bike comes with flats, I’ll try both and see how I get on

What’s the difference between the 2015 and 16 model??

The crush I’m riding tomo is a pre owned 2015 in excellent condition, dropper post and race face atlas bars, priced at £800,for sale in a bike shop to so should be mechanically sound(decent rep bike shop at that)

Unfortunately tubeless is not an option yet, think I’ll go with schwalbe for now and see how I get on,
I wa stinking of buying a seat pack but now not sure, bottle spares are good way forward I think

Thanks for the replies. I also read the 2016 review. I’ve seen the 2015 review to which seem very positive
I’ve got the chance to test ride it on proper trails tomo afternoon so I’ll see what it’s like.
Weather looks awful though, would of been nice to test ride it on dry fast trails but hey ho

I chuck my gore bike wear jerseys in the dryer, never had any problems.

Cheers op, just ordered one

There better than the 200, Bluetooth ant+,
Reviews are excellent

I’ve been looking for new lights recently, exposure traceR looks pretty cool. Great reviews to

I live in eaglescliffe/Yarm.
I’m only 40 mins drive from hamsterly which is awesome, heading south I’d say 20 mins drive to the north York moors where there’s some really good natural trails, guisborough trails within 15 mins to.
Plenty of country road rides on the door step.
It’s a decent place to live if you bike

Which Castillo jacket have you got op?
I’ve been looking at the squadra long, but if this is the one you have then I may look elsewhere.

This is a n+1 thread. The road bike is only 6 ish months old and is here to stay, I meant that I want one mtb for all duties, family, trail centres etc etc
Sorry to confuse people.

I dropped into Westbrook cycles yesterday, the new cannondale range looks ace, the beast from the east with the 27.5+ wheels and the habit look awesome. The + wheels maybe overkill for me though

The road bike is definitely staying. Some decent shouts there, def gonna look at the bird. Still like the crush.

Thanks all

I been using endura mt500 overshoes for a few years now, they are good, a lot better than just socks.
But they do wear quicker on the mtb than my roadie ones, but that goes without saying

I have been carrying a waterproof with me, but when I’ve had to put it on, within 5 mins I’m red hot, I have a fairly good jacket. I think I’m gonna go down the gilet route and see how that is

Some good shouts, thanks
Castelli at discounted price is favourable

What about a cannondale supersix??
I’ve got a 2015 supersix evo 105 and its immense, i replaced a defy with it,it’s much nicer to ride,
2015 supersix also heavily discounted at certain bike shops/websites.

+1 for the Orange crush, it’s a riot

Yep 2pm-10pm, chemical plants never close :(

Thanks op, just reserved a couple to, make daft presents for Friends

Forgot to say that this will be in my road bike, still ok?

It sounds like it’s ideal for me. I don’t mind checking my data at the end with a cup of coffee, so I can download onto garmin connect then see the data all at once, I only need speed,distance,time etc whilst I’m out on the bike, it’s a bonus that it’s ant+ to as I like the idea of having a cadence sensor

Orange crush is pretty nice, looks fun to

I’ve been watching preview of it.
I’ve just watched a program about fat bikes on it

I’ve just bought a pair of the roubaix winter tights, I’ve wore them twice and they are amazing, comfy,warm without sweating. Really good product

Gp 4 seasons are the winter tyre to go for, Excellent tyre

Unpadded tights for me which I wear over my bib shorts, really comfy and keeps the knads toasty to
