    Just Allen key off/on when I’m used to maxles. Doesn’t fit on my bike rack either

    Sent lads. Must say I’m loving it at the moment. Only issue for me is that the lefty is a bit of a faff

    I’ll get some later stu. I’m running 3.0inch Nobby nics front and rear

    Yep I’ve got one mate. Complete impulse buy but absolutely love it. I’ve got the teal version with the lefty. Loads of grip and seems to roll over everything. Seemed to me to be a decent buy for the spec. The red model looks cool as well!

    Slightly OT but I Impulse bought a 27.5+ Hardtail yesterday. Took it for a quick spin today and loving it. Only problem is in the current conditions the spray from the front wheel. The issue is it’s got a lefty- anyone got any ideas of any mudguards that will fit? Also how are people finding the nobby nics. I’ve got WTB bridgers on i45 rims. The grip seemed pretty good when I dropped the pressure to around 10 psi but the nics look like they’ve got a pretty aggressive tread. Thanks

    @benpinnick what sort of cost for that yellow one in the pic? Been looking at building up a trail hardtail but buying a Bird complete May be cheaper

    I test rode one and didn’t feel like it was any better than my blur TRC at the time. Then tested the nomad- and bought one. So much more confident descending than the bronson. Some would say completely overbiked but I’m no slower climbing on it and way quicker downhill! I’d definitely say try one before ordering the bronson

    Pretty sure I didn’t jambo? It’s a section within a descent so I’m pedalling into and out of it. It is half covered by trees though so I’m thinking interrupted signal

    Anyone else get a bit frustrated with it. Ride tonight with a mate and we were both using it, 2 and a half minute descent and I’m in front all the way down and getting away. My mate ends up being a minute faster than me? How does that work? Same phone and same version of strava?

    Yeh definitely a new tallboy LT coming- too popular for them to drop! New tallboy in red looks awesome

    Yeh I was having a nightmare. Only in stock in size 6 or 13. You reckon they’re as grippy as 5-10s ?

    I wanted some of the adidas shoes but I couldn’t find them in stock anywhere. Where did you get urs from big bloke?

    First time this year. My mate has dropped out with work so looks like I’ll be doing it solo!

    Tom I’ve just done exactly the same. The A1 is definitely a little cooler but doesn’t soak up sweat anywhere near as well as the urge. It’s a comfy lid but I’m undecided if I’m 100% sold on it tbh

    Sounds good, couldn’t make it today but will hopefully get up there for the next one. Can you ride any of the trail in that wood now?

    Pretty sure I saw you in the shop today mate- I’ve got a blue one. Like the black and purple though. Love the chameleon too!

    mildly steep bank then stu?

    luke1688
    Full Member

    Very interesting to see what they do then! That steep bank drop isn’t too bad, the steps onto the bridge I’d say are worse. Also some little log jumps at the top. Best to ride it at night or non-peak times

    yeh RD is right no need to use the style. I fear for that trail soon though- people are building little features which will always draw attention. Best off keeping it natural

    luke1688

    Issue 82 is the NWalps feature- just checked

    luke1688
    Full Member

    I wouldn’t say Clent and the Lickeys are limited. Think the Lickeys are RocketDogs area- pretty sure they did a feature on them in the mag not too long ago. Never ridden in chaddesley despite it being very close- I’m not sure if they’ve got a ‘no cycling’ policy over there though

    luke1688

    Ah I know where you mean- think thats the one Stu! it is a bit cheeky that run. Over a style at the top? Its a good one though!

    luke1688
    Full Member

    Interesting rocketdog- where were you? Clent is like my back garden and I’ve never been told off. Only the occasional walker jumping out in front !

    Have to agree with northwind. I wanted a mary but couldn’t get one anywhere so went for a shorty. Just lean on it in wet/loose turns and the grip is amazing

    luke1688

    I’ve got a montane featherlight down and I’ve been nothing but impressed so far. Really warm and packs down very small. I carry it in my riding pack for cafe stops and post ride faffing, but also use it like I would have done a fleece. Great jacket- had mine from go outdoors but I think they are on offer at outdoorgb at the moment

    I’ve got them on my nomad. No problems so far. Light and stiff. I ditched the tyres straight away. Have run them with maxxis and schwalbe tubeless without issues

    luke1688

    Cheers guys- you just confirmed what I thought

    luke1688
    Full Member

    Transition smuggler might be an idea? Similar to a banshee phantom I think. Not the lightest but looks a fun bike! You’ll be surprised at what the shorter travel 29ers are capable of. I’ve spent a lot of time on a tallboy and sometimes it makes me question why I’ve got a Nomad!

    luke1688

    Tried to get a magic mary trailstar but can’t get them anywhere! Have a look at the maxxis shorty I’ve just put one on the front of my nomad

    Damn I’ve got a highball on order and I didn’t really like either colour- gutted! Yeh definitely a slacker 1x specific tallboy ltc on the way

    luke1688

    Any idea on the tallboy ltc and highball rick?

    Anyone have clearance issues whilst in the 10t? Chain is really rubbing the frame with my setup

    luke1688

    Recently had XO1 put on my TRc-anyone find that when on the 10t cog the chain is very close to where the chainstay meets the seatstay?
