    I would know that a 26″ bike with a 69° HA & BB up in the clouds would ride like an absolute turd, for me.

    offset bushings?

    Email I sent to them:

    I have cleaned and regressed my Gravity dropper classic multi, I can’t get it to lock in full extension position. I only get full drop and 1 inch drop. If I adjusts the top cap #52 I can only get full extension & 1 inch drop and not Full drop.

    anyone know the location of the singletrack in the Doney vid? looks South Downsy to me.

    Dropper is not full extending any more, I have cleaned and regrease all the top moving parts but not sorted it. I reckon there is some crap in the lower bit, so I want get the bottom cap out to give it a clean and regrease it. Hex bit is still in tacked, I have tried turning both ways. I will try and heat it up.

    the website has been saying that the dates will be announced at the start of December for ages now?

    I noticed that too, looking forward to hearing the venues/dates.

    I hope it is as I fancy entering few enduros this year and this one seem a lot better for a novice than the UKGE series.

    Yes and no. stages are easier but no practice so you have to ride Enduro 1 blind. I have liked all of the enduro1 races I have done(apart from Aston hill)

    Also could look at:
    http://minienduro.tv/
    http://shred.cc/gravity/circus-of-dirt/
    And the QECP Trail Collective gravity enduro’s soon to be announced.
    Check here on Sat: http://www.qecptrailcollective.co.uk/ 8) 😉

    They are all 1 day events with practice in the morning.

    only time i waited more than 5 mins was 20 10 mins wait after the lunch break

    +1

    I was happy with my 11 runs, works out £2.72 per run for the uplift. I thank that’s good value. I reckon we could of got 13 in but we missed the first one of the day and the first one after lunch I think.

    The exposed cable on the Thomson looks cheap and fugly. Looks worst than the Gravity dropper!!

    That was a great ride at rogate, got about 13 full runs in. Still find it amazing that it can rain so much the day/night before and still be mud free and really grippy. Anyway Top ride bring on 2014!!!

    Not mine but might be worth a look.

    Due to my old two bikes being stolen I have recieved two brand new bikes through insurance means, I have also come to the conclusion that I just do not need two mtb’s anymore therefore I have decided to sell the scott! It is absolutely brand new with no marks or miles on the tread!!!

    I’m sure it’s not bedding them in that killed off the second and third set of pads, Scott.

    I only replaced the rear once.

    I generally dont get through brake pads like others do!

    +1
    To be fair mine only had about 30% left on rear and 60% on the front. I was expecting to get at least a couple of months out of them still. The new set I put in where not bedded in, apart from round the carpark at BPW. We did we 11 uplifts in all in the rain. It was a really good trip and looking forward to going back.

    Take spares. Mate went through 3 sets (1 front, 2 rear). I blow 1 almost new set of rears, right through the metal.

    As superfli said BPW was not kind to my pads, here are the rear ones (First lot I think) Not checked the Headset or BB yet 😯

    I liked the blacks too! They were great fun. Looking forwards to riding there when its not raining all day but don’t let a rainy day put you off there was loads of grip to be had on most of the trails (Not half cut)

    The key to doing well is getting ahead as early as possible inside lines on the first corners and full on till it narrows off

    You can show me the line in practice mate 😉
    Will you be rocking the Kona this year mate?
