I was up at glentress for specialized trail days recently and went to the cafe at the trail centre and the food was excellent.had the ultimate veggie chili bowl really tasty and a nice size portion.

A few pairs in Newcastle today half rim pro size s 29.99 for some reason the l where 39.99 but still a bargain I picked up some evil eye. Pro with vario lenses size l for 29.99 down from 249.99 they had size small and large left ,I even managed to get a cleaning cloth and a hard case from behind the counter.

I’m there now for the 2nd day.fantastic weekend.wanting an e-bike now though.did cafe to spooky and back down in under an hour with a couple of stop(and one crash☺️)

On sundays at fort bill I usually get gondola to the top grab some food in the cafe at the top then walk down the hill slowly stopping every now and then.have a last look around the pits then stand near the grandstand so I have a view of the last descent and the big screens.

Cheers for all the replies.wont be getting the bike for a few weeks can’t decide between a levo or a powerfly lt🤯,but looks like I can get a decent days riding on one battery😀

Cheers doomanic

There available to buy on the website.dont think they’re in store yet.

Cheers scotroutes just re-read your post.a new xt microspline hub is under £80 so think I’ll get a wheel made up using that until hope bring one out.

How good/bad are the new xt hubs likely to be?.will they be usable for an average rider or are they a total no no. Mainly bothered about reliability will they need constant care or are they fit and forget.seem fairly good price so might build a wheel using xt hub until more options become available.

I think canyon use them to get c2w bikes through them.looks interesting.

That was ace 👍🏻

Whyte S-150 or start are doing a Hightower for £2600.

Is the start code off everything or just certain items

Contact wheelbase in Darlington they where offering some good offers a couple of weeks ago.

No this isn’t unusual for them at the minute.see the rock shox Yari psa from a couple of weeks ago where most people ordered 29er forks and received 650b instead.contacted them about the pair I ordered and there response was to offer me a gift voucher if I kept them,the forks don’t fit what good is a gift voucher

They sound like normal alloy cranks if you tap them.

Do these cranks have carbon arms? Some descriptions say they do but mine arrived today and are scratched on the nds arm and it’s silver underneath.

Thick cut yes,block of wood optional😀

Cheers muz.we’ll be in over the Easter weekend.

Can you get to bonys from the glentress car park or do you have to drive round.

Always liked the mahoosive slab of carrot cake the used to serve at the hub.

Think I might try bonys the food looks excellent and proper chunky chips 😍

Cheers hodgynd forgot about no1 always looks really popular when we drive past.

Hi muz.i know it’s a steakhouse but do you do a veggie option.best of luck with everything it looks great.

Probably June/July last year.food was pretty grim.does anybody over 5 years old actually like skinny fries.if it’s changed hands I might give it another go.

Yaris arrived this afternoon they’re 27.5,luckily I ordered the 29er revalations at the same time to see which I preferred. looks like the decisions been made for me.

Ordered both revs came today 29er debonair.

Ordered.cheers mate.

Only got mine this week.im using strava routes from Garmin connect it seems to work well.

Bikescene have last years fsr comp carbon levo for £3800 down from £5000.it’s a fantastic bike great spec and specialized aftercare for e-bikes is great.

I’m just under 5’7″ and have just bought a 54 and it’s great.got the e5 comp from evans for £980 down from £1500 and got it on 0% too.I had a 52cm specialized secteur a couple of years ago which felt a touch small.i thought the 54 might be more stable if I take it off-road because of the longer wheelbase.

There’s a carbon scott 29er on evans for a bit over £1100 and they’ll give you another 100 quid off if you trade in any old bike even a kids bike.

I’ve been to fort Bill most years but fancy going to les gets next year.how easy is travelling there?i assume Geneva is the best place to fly to but how is les gets for hotels or camping etc.how expensive is food and beer.

Whyte t130 rs

The bossnut evo is available in a 15.5 inch small as well as the medium might be worth a try.

Edit.didnt read that you thought the medium was too short.ive a medium santa cruz and the medium evo feels similar if not a bit longer.my mates 5’10 and loves his medium bossnut.ask your local go outdoors if you can try it with a seat post with a bit of layback off another one of there bikes most of the bikes they sell are 30.9 seat post so something will fit this may make it feel more roomy.

I’m demoing the levo again on Thursday I’ve ridden one at my local trails in guisborough and  at grizedale and I’m hooked.really good fun I’m 48 now and the improved fitness I’ve been hoping for is probably never gonna happen but on the levo I can ride longer and harder than on my normal bike and still feel less tired.

Is there a way of avoiding the pointless fireroad of pointlessness ? It just seems like extra miles added in for no good reason.

Anything else I should look at nearby that is a must do.

Travelling up Friday can’t wait.
