i would definitely hire one for a weekend, but why would you buy one as a private user?
Surely after one use, you know your perfect settings, so write them down, job done.

Pigyn if you do decide to hire them out, let me know and I’ll demo it for a week for you, happily pay £20

ouch, hope he has a speedy recovery

barring any incidents, yes

Definitely on a cotic this week.

you only own a cotic 😉

see you there

yeah will do.

Moved from Windows to Mac just over a year ago, no complaints, would never go back.
Disclaimer – I own no other apple products and would never have am iPhone over android.
Mac plays brilliantly with everything on house, sonos and Android and chromecast, better than my windows laptop ever did.
Other than the price there is no reason not too.

So cool, lobe box, and that was amazing, pov footage of backflip was brilliant

weird and wonderful bike designs & suspension layouts, made out of odd materials, like the kirks, trimbles, whyte prst1, slingshots, softrides etc.

used to love opening up MBUK to see what random new, expensive designs were upcoming, flexible plastic, magnesium frames, wire for downtubes, ll with mental paint jobs.
None of them worked particularly well, they all cost a small fortune, but it was amazing times.

now everything just works and looks the same, it’s kind of taken the fun out of it.
*not the riding mind, stuff that works is cool, just not as much fun to see what people are coming up with.

met him twice, when I was about 14, once at a Race, once at a bike show, where I got the poster, was really nice, had loads of time for the kids, was living the dream. I was gutted when he died, a real inspiration

like a 456 but so much nicer to look at 🙂

Canfield EPO

yes

Been running superstar tesla evos on pacenti rims, been faultless for almost 2 years.

Great wheels. Have hope pro 2s on arch as well for comparison, they are also just as good, would say the pick up on the Ss is a bit quicker and they are lighter than the hopes as well.

Wouldn’t go far wrong with either set in my experience, ymmv of course.

yup.

your riding a bird in Lordswood….. 😕
well, wont be the first time it’s happenned i guess 😆

should be

cheers Stu, as you have access to a N9, can you get the B+ wheels you have with those tyres in there?
Also, how does the B+ size compare to a wide set of 29ers?
interested to here.
cheers

Nice, waiting for my nimble to turn up, great bikes. Enjoy

nope

That looks awesome, for that money may have a look, great post, off to check them out. Enjoy

Breaking frome genteel, sky to regroup on the flat, but think they’ll go again on alpes and will hope to break them early, froome looking pretty handy on the descent

hopefully Valverde and Quintana will attack all afternoon with Sky crumbling.
Bertie to sneak a cheeky win with a do or die break from the lower part of the Alpe

+1

Bandit 650b here, I put a large volume reducer in mine and now leave it in descend all the time, bar fireroad or road climbs, seems fine, I honestly can’t tell the difference between descend and trail, so leave it there.
Before the volume spacer went in, the descend was really mushy and no amount of fiddling made any difference (for me) so would leave it in trail, but never felt right right.
Happier with the spacer in, I’ll probably have it tuned when I put it on for a service.

having seen it first hand in the light this evening, bloody good effort sir.
when mine is finished, if it looks half as good, i’ll be well happy.

looks good,nice alternative to Surley, i like the drop outs and the curved seattube, a nice unique arrangement.
Also seems Manitou are all over the + sizing, what with this and the Rocky Mountain.
seems the low pressure shocks and bikepacking + sizes go together quite well.
Will have a look when they get over here.
