    The black section bends were a PITA in the beginning…but aren’t something’s supposed to be challenging and there to develop skills? Had a couple OTBs on those sections…but you dust yourself down and try again until you nail it.

    As for evil slab…that is an evil barsteward.

    If you tab on brocton and stile cop you can have a good 5 hour bit of fun…just do the chase at 7am and all you’ll see are squirells and jays…and clear trails. :)

    I think supporting docs are sent separate and not necessarily by courier (at least in the UK)…so may take a while?

    Try refurbished laptops on Curry’s website etc. Some great deals can be found and they’re usual in great working order. My Asus i5, 500gb 2gb RAM should have been £600 got it for £329.

    I did the dyfi enduro on mine with a 50mm stem without any issue (bar fork problems of my own making and complete lack of fitness!).

    My SLX were silent all the way around a dryish Dyfi last weekend…screeching like buggery this morning around a very wet and gritty Cannock.

    Sometimes its just down to the conditions and pad compound IMO.

    The fact haribo type sweets are made pretty much from pig fat puts me off.

    Chocolate and cake on the other hand…

    30 games for less than £30!

    Knew I should have sold them before the ps4 was released.

    Check out refurbished laptops. Got an Asus i5 500gb for £329 from Curry’s a couple of years ago…should have been £600+ new. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it when I got it.

    Quite a few on their website that meet your price and below.

    To escape the wife and kids and have a bit of me time in the great outdoors. Fitness is never contemplated…or wasn’t until after dyfi!!

    Sent my LEV back under warranty with zero issues and there and back within a week.

    Also respond really quickly to emails to, letting me know the new ks southpaw had came in 5mins after they received them and to order one through stif cycles.

    +1 Stevied and add a ks southpaw

    Mortop stem maybe or syntace (depending on funds and angle required)

    New hope rims or light bicycle carbon

    New ks carbon bars look pretty good and wide in stealth black too

    If you get your forks from j tech they will tune and lower them if require at no extra cost. They are also the cheapest I could find if purchased from new.

    I’ve been advised my slants will take a wee while to bed in and they have no adjustable compression…but less faff unless you like tuneable compression.

    So far so good…but not had them very long.

    CYB enduro are splitting the 30k and 60k into 2 with a 5 min gap.

    Might be worth it for dyfi…the first decent had a queue like a next sale like you see on the tele.

    Pretty sure 26″ Stanton is 68 HA with 140 sagged except ti which is 67.5. 650b Stanton is 66.5 but £500ish

    I’m using thick 3m (genuine stuff) helitape on everything. £14 off eBay for 3metres x 100mm. Sure it discolours…but at that price I can re-cover it several times over a couple of years.

    The lad on the jump bike was awesome on the downs…no fear!!

    I wondered how the tandem did on the downs?!

    Defo up for CYB enduro…with huge fitness increase tho.

    First time…and had a shocker. Had no idea just how much elevation there was at the beginning and hadn’t been doing much fitness. Somehow pulled my calf muscle at the top getting off my bike?! Did the first decent and something came loose with either the fork or hub…loads of play and came a right cropper…and after taking my knee pads off cos they were itchy!! Wasn’t able to find or fix what it was and nursed it back to the 45km. Currently sat in a vat of savlon…bloody chaffing. Pissed off…but will be back next year with a working bike and legs like mo farah…just not skinny or black.

    If funds allow…I’d recommend an uberbike bb. Find them to be just as good as hope and half the price.

    Dirty front wheel detracts from an otherwise good pic

    Does remind me of a badger though.

    Running mine on the middle and was able to use the same XT bolts on the Works Components ring.

    Also able to use the SLX bolts (double) on my other set up with a RF.

    One thing I have noticed with a rear 42 is some chainslap even with a clutch. If you can get away with a 40t rear it’s much quieter.

    Like my scoop…but not ideal for anything over 2-3 hours on a HT. My fizik aliante gamma xm is the most comfy I’ve owned…but saddles are a very personal affair.

    Have you tried to match the colours on the bike to the stripes on the forks…or get the forks stickers to match the bike?

    It looks quality…as in street ;)

    Had a talas at 140…but ended up at 120 most of the time. Just seemed a bit better all round.
