Had my Ribbon coils for 10 days. Had about 5 rides on them. Are super smooth.No stiction. Adjusters do as they say.. Ramp up is amazing

Fitted onto my new Rallon 29

Just went out, Smashed my boys into the saddle, Broken saddle rails and now walking like John Wayne..

Whats your saddle height??
is easy to work out
150mm dropper (Fox and rockshox) are need 210mm and a saddle at 50mm.
add that to 483mm seat tube
743mm from middle of crank axle to top of saddle

i am 6ft 1.5
XL with 150mm reverb
Wouldnt fit a 170mm in mine as only have 14mm gap
Is a sunset Red. So orangey/red
Now running a 35mm stem as found reach long when stood up, but might try 50mm again after some more rides

@nicolaisam – give me a shout when you’ve got it built up and we can hook up for a ride. Not that I’m itching to see it or owt

P.S. you’re gonna have to change your name on here now ha!

Yes mate.
Old fat slow bloke on nice bike.

Yari 150mm up front

Will get GX Eagle for drivetrain

My Frame should be arriving in the next few weeks.
Good write up

Cant wait for my Longer in Pink.. Going to be a sweet bike.

Got a frame on order, Geo seems to be perefect for me

NS Eccentric cromo 29 or 650b plus is all that

Have a Huck Norris in the back of my plus bike for a while.
Seems to help has a few marks in it from impacts

Went from welder/fabricator to bike mechanic and paid a nice lump of Mortgage and brought a new bike..

I used a Racewear one.
Been ok for a few years now

Garmin Tab Repair

Have done about 1000 miles on my xx1 eagle,No problems yet, But did notice you have to grease the jockey wheel bearings regularly or they start to wobble a lot.
Not had any problems with few other sets i have fitted.

Upper picture is how it should be fitted

Dosent look like the mech is fitted correctly.
That small link is in the wrong place

You got a better picture as the link looks like its in the wrong place.
Missed the stop as is usually parallel to the ground

I buy flapjacks from Home Bargains
29p each, usually buy 20 at a time

As above.. Damper now has a void, Needs to have correct amount.
You could also use a slightly thinner oil in it as well, will also be good for a lighter weight rider

I run a 34t on my 12sp and 29″ wheels.
Seems really good

Yes, Is a few different lengths.. Used to be some Carbon ones from China on ebay as well

Heard that the Top of the range TR is about 26lbs

Have an Occam TR 2018 on order.. Looking forward to it.
Nice looking bike that
I looked at one but wanted slacker HA and more trail/xc for me

Can meet you at Bissoe Cafe and do a guided tour of Poldice Valley.. Will have to be a Monday
Message me if any use

not used a recent one then, my wee boy had no issue using the grip shift on his riprock 20.

More than most people to be honest

NuTrack stuff i think is OKO

The other thing i liked with the Orbea was the trigger shifter, rather than a crappy twistgrip that no kid can use..

Orbea do really nice kids bikes.

Had a 5010 for about 12 months, Built up as a lightish trail bike (27lbs) Is a fun bike, fast and corners well, You can notice the shorter rear travel sometimes but only on very rough and rocky ground.
In my opinion most people should be riding one of them instead of a 160mm bike.
I now have a Hightower with Ohlins suspension. Its 3 lbs heavier than the 5010 but is a very good bike, Fast and fun,not quite as poppy as the 5010 more of a flat out trail bike.Just point it in the right direction nd let the brakes go.

Boost is 3mm offset

Sounds like its the jockey wheel.
Check how much wobble is on the upper one

Order the Matte kit

Using Tifosi for last few years..

Yep, have then same look
And added some big scratches above my hip from a silly crash to add to the look
