ZESTY 314 – standardish
now specced with uprated seatpost and saddle sdg ibeam carbon
xt tubeless wheels about to lose the nobby nics – theyre rubbish
bigger rotors – they are fast bikes and I am heavy :)

But will I just swap to a Spicy????

Decisions decisions

and that is a BIG drop. matti minced his knee last year at fort bill and prior to that broke his neck! now thats hardcore.eurosport commentary – that was awful that’s what you get for using a road commentator! I would expect he was sitting in front of a tv monitor down south somewhere . I think I will apply. it was just really poor coverage all round.

That made me laugh, can you imagine coming down through the woods trying to nail that elusive and tricky little line – when BARP!!! straight over the bars :)

aha! I see them on the site, they look a bit more hi tec! And probably pricey.
Ta though

I had an 08 Sx Trail with 2.35 Hi Rollers Soft Compound, VAn 36s and a twin ring, had to up the chainring as was spinning pout too much otherwise. Changed forks to 66s and that was that. Thought it was great till i tried a 140mm Lapierre, I always wondered why I was soo slow on the SX, get a Heckler, or Intense SS, or Lapierre Spicy? Orange Alpine 160?

is it merlin or wiggle that had them cheap? shop around i think most retailers are off loading them.

I meant I couldn’t find any comments from saturday practice. I knew where it was from all the sites you mentioned.

i was hoping to see who was going quick and if the track is as brutal as was warnbed on nps site

never been and havent found anything anywhere on it so far on dw or sdh

WAS THIS THE ROUND THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE A MINI CHAMPEREY – STEEP!!

sorry about the caps

what will do push do for them, how will the ride improve?
I hear forks certainly rebound slower but are sensitive to speed so will speed up depending on the speed your going?

What about the l;apierres?
I have a zesty which is a great pedal, even better on the downs when it gets a bit “interesting”!

is that a air dhx? why not rp23?

haribo
the sunn doesnt have disc mounts and i dont have a spare brake, so all sounds like too much hassle to buy yours i think, would ahve been ideal too as I am in EK!

thanks, its very intresting that GT run them as hire fleets, I had no idea they did. I guess I will be booking a ride! I have a Sunn Tonic (from way back) that has slicks on it at the moment with deore drivetrain, probably cheaper to buy another alfine specced bike than buy alfine hub/wheel and shifter to convert the sunn. Haribo what is it yyour maybe sellin???
