ski for a week every year for the last nine years,only wish I’d started earlier. it is like bike tricks the more you practice gives more confidence with that comes more speed.It’s all hand in hand,speed(within your capability)really is your friend.after the first week I went I thought I’m never goin to get this but you do and you love it.strong legs are a bonus,take energy bars as snacks don’t go too long without eating it’s not good.when do get tired don’t be temted for that one last run because that’s when you’ll get hurt do a bit apres ski rest ready for another day and ENJOY !!!!!!!!!!!!! 8)

1) you really don’t need 140 for “normal trail riding” a well fettled 120 will do you better.if you like a bit of jumping or heavy rocky decents maybe.
2)there’s nothing quite like a VPP bike so try and get a demo bike it’s a good idea before splashing tha much cash,

you’ll not get anything decent self build at that price,I’d agree 2nd hand route as well.My mate started not long ago and managed to find a as new carrera fury (great value starter bike,read the reviews)for £250 they are out there youv’e just got to look hard.

NC-17 10mm q/r. I’ve got one from crc superb german quality dispatched next day think it was around £25 quid but worth it.Take a look on crc.

buy tiwanese they ride better ! (just havin a jest about the cost)we all love our own bikes that’s why wev’e got em.what one loves, someone else hates! ride em and enjoy them. btw just realised I’ve bought a santacruz bacon lettuce tomato 2 😯

not so mate it’s just they can’t afford a blur?

just sold my 2010 meta 55 frame to buy this one.and it’s brill !!!!!

maybe its the other way round then? but its what I was told by a vehicle technician. one way to be sure,get an old seal kit from car shop put some of seal in both fluids and see what happens.

Mineral oil will make the seals swell up like a balloon…..havn’t you got that the wrong why round,dots will ruin seals made for mineral oil but mineral shouldn’t affect seals made to take dot fluid.as long as you can mate up hoses and fittings,and anything that has used dot fluid has been immaculately cleaned of any residue(ideally a full strip and clean)there’s no reason why it shouldn’t work.

have you checked to see the cage/mech/mechhanger are bent or twisted?

I had some 05/06 talas and now have 11 talas khas and there worlds apart.

why is it people seam to have it in for 4x4s,is it that you notice them more because of there size? well work this out,every 3 out of 10 drivers are shit and drive like there the only vehicle on the road.so 4x4s make up1 out of every 50ish vehicles on the road,work the mathes out youself.By the way I’ve got a 4.0i V8 discovery and it’s great.

Hope tech x2's (shop around for well less than £300) £10extra for braided hoses easy to rebuild no stupid bleed kits,bombproof construction cheap parts what else can you say.

tax evasion is illegl,tax avoidance isn't(thats how rich people get richer).there are many more good tradesmen out there than there are bad and recomendation of someone else is the best way to go.even more so if you can get to see work they've already done.and no matter what the deal the vat has to be paid on materials at source!

I went for the meta 5 good all day bike can't fault it.
