Cheers Tracey.picked mine up this morning bargain at £130.

Do the loops return to a car park so I can leave food and water in the car and return to it if needed or just to a staging area ?

Went back to grizedale today to try another couple of bikes after taking a kenevo and a stumpy 29er out on Saturday,tried a levo and a stumpy 650b the levo was brilliant my favourite of the weekend and i was faster than on the kenevo.

I think evens where doing 2 day demos for £50.hope e-bikes work for you ton be a shame to have to stop doing something you enjoy.

I’m going back up to grizedale tomorrow to demo a couple more at the specialized trail days event.really enjoyed the couple of times I’ve ridden them and am looking forward to taking a couple more out tomorrow to see if the novelty wears off😀

Cheers tom I’ll wait for more info.

Think the last one I saw was 10% off using deal10 a few days ago.they do offer 10% off quite often.

Canyon spectral

The rsp post that go outdoors sell fits in a medium v2

Yeti 575 from about 8 years ago great bike always felt special riding it.people would stop me just to look at it.wish I could afford another yeti now but sadly out of my league.

A little bit looks great,hubs and headset maybe. too much and it starts to look naff.

They come up a bit small loads of padding around the ankle.im size 8 bought size 9 and are spot on

Yeah £500 off 2018 model it’s a spend and save type offer the more you spend the more you save.

Wheelbase have £500 off the t130 till the end of january.not on there website but in-store.

Very tempted.got a Santa Cruz at the minute and like vpp system.

Cheers Andy that was great.does anyone have any strava links

I’ve got a nearly new set of mavic cross Max’s for sale that might do if your anywhere near Stockton.they have adapters for bolt thru and q/r and tyres really nice wheels just a bit skinny for me.

Think they are a different mount to normal shocks so you may struggle to find replacements.

Got a set of boost 2018 pikes for under £400 and and a arc 30 boost front wheel for £50 there was some great buys.tempted by a 2017 Tallboy frame for under a grand but decided to stick with 650b because I’m a shortarse.

The five tens come up a bit small,I wear size 8 free riders but bought a size 9 in the impacts.

Calibre dark peak 40mm tyres available in 58cm £549 only mechanical disc though

Large especially if you want to fit a dropper the xls are very tall.

Definitely going to do frazers looks fun on the pics I’ve seen then probably carry on doing the black as I would in the daytime then. Thanks for the replies

Small group 2 or 3 is there access to the grove car park or do the gates get locked at all?

Was there a couple of weeks ago it’s great but allow yourself a full day to do everything. It’s split over a couple of sites and the bus tours take up a lot of time.really enjoyed seeing space shuttle Atlantis. Well worth a trip.

Kona jake £699 from go outdoors

A mates four failed recently cracked weld in the swing arm they sorted him out so all good.also heard of other failures recently.not a deal breaker as these things happen and he still loves his four.

Was thinking of an orange,I’ve had a couple of fives and the stage four looks interesting but there seems to be more failing recently than a few years ago so that’s putting me off.

1/2″X1/2″ bushings and 8mmx22mm shock mount hardware I think.

Go outdoors sell the rsp plummet so if you have one of there discount cards you can price match against tredz who are selling it for £85 and they’ll give you another 10%off so you’ll pay about £77

Cheers for all the suggestions I’ll check them out after work.

Anybody have any info on the alloy version.

Nukeproof electron great pedals and only £23 at go outdoors.

There’s definitely an element of wanting a new bike rather than needing one I’ve had this one for 2 years and fancy a change. Might try and borrow a dropper though and see how that feels. Thanks for all the advice everyone lots of things to think about

Climbing is definitely a factor don’t want the climbs to be a slog and not enjoy them. Never thought of the nomad always thought it was way too much bike for me but I’ll check them out.

Think the nomad would be too much bike for what I need don’t really fancy anything more than 150 mm travel. leaning toward the trek mainly because it seems better value for money I’d get a whole bike with a dropper post (which I don’t have now) for not much more than the Bronson frame only.

Love the 5010 it’s a great bike just fancy trying to push myself next year and try some harder more tech trails and maybe the odd jump or drop off. Borrowed a mates zesty and the extra travel felt good I could probably do everything I wanted to do on the 5010 but think the extra travel might give me a bit more confidence on the rougher stuff

One in Stockton think it’s a large.

I’ve been looking at the Saxon cross for adventure cross events and winter commutes hydraulic discs and 1 x 11 gears bikescene have the 2016 model down from £1500 to £1000

Give Andy at bike scene a ring normally have good specialized deals in there.
