    Thank you all for your replies.
    The main reason for wanting to move to Dorking is the riding.
    It being a decent town is a bonus.

    The only thing I’m blaming crc for is not turning up twice.

    I don’t get **** about by anyone.
    Same as a supplier at work. If they failed to turn up twice and cost two days money they wouldn’t be used again.
    I don’t think it’s reasonable to wait around twice for nine hours, loose two days money and be asked to do it a third time because crc can’t use a courier that turns up when they say they will.

    Yes it’s a principal thing. They could of sent it later or cancelled.
    Was just trying to give the full story.
    Unfortunately bike is sent in a massive box, not a normal bike box. Otherwise I’d of sent it myself.
    As soon as I get my money back from crc I’ll be buying another bike.
    Thanks for your opinions

    Did you check if there was any oil in them? Chances are there won’t be enough from the factory.

    Ive seen some production drawings of a 120 rear 140 front. that with a change of shock and hardware can be run 145 rear 160 front.
    If it ever makes it to production it would be my perfect uk/alps bike

    Just to add.

    Modern 4x bike are a little slacker than the older ones.
    (4x track have gotten faster) At least that’s the case with my fs and ht.

    This seems a bit of a mine field.
    4x bikes really aren’t great at the pedally bits due to size, suspension design, weight etc and almost all of them have 1-1/8 head tubes which rules out the possibility of putting a good recent modern fork on there as they’ve all gone tapered.

    M4X is great on the pedally bits, Good seat angle, good suspension design and is light as ****.
    I’m 510 a 400mm seat post is only just long enough if you wanna keep the bottom below the top tube.

    Well considering the new XTR is still isn’t supposed to be public

    Here’s what TFL have to say about ASLs.

    ASLs are primarily a measure designed to increase cyclists’ safety by allowing cycle users to move away from traffic signals slightly in advance of motorised traffic. ASL facilities provide a second stop line in advance of the regular line. Between the two lines is an area (ASL reservoir) which is reserved for cyclists.
    Can someone (anyone!) please explain to me what the cyclist in that video did wrong?

    A 100mmish “5” with a slack head angle and steep seat angle would rock!

    Dropper seat post, maxles, big tyres, big bars and a 1 by. Perfect!

    this works for me, pivot m4x
    very low, very slack. r 100 f 120, 12.7/66 ish longish front/short rear

    i guess he’s getting enough work threw word of mouth. i think he’s still a one man band and does a lot of custom work. maybe a working website would overwhelm him?

    i agree it would be nice to see pics of some of his work.

    How it was? its always been like this really – the land reform act codified existing practice in large part. Some more populated areas some marginal bits are now clearly open to bikes where it wasn’t clear before

    so pretty much the same as england is now. guessing? 90% of riders will ride footpaths, legal or not.

    how many fp in scotland have been resurfaced ?

    The classic Carn Mor Ban descent has been resurfaced at least in part because of damage from bikes caused by its popularity

    Just pointing out that its not all perfect here either and some issues would arise in england given the same access rights

    nothings perfect, but would you want scotland to go back to how it was?
