    What the others said about the narrow corridor between the tradestands on the way to the paddock.Particuarly at 7am Sunday when that van was parked in the way !

    I’ve now settled on 115mm upfront most of the time with the stem slammed right down onto the headset.I think it will probably take quite a lot of weight off it once I get round to trimming the steerer ! Did me proud at MM too – although must admit I am now hankering after an Anthem aswell ..

    ****note massive LACK of air out of the bombholes.Getting air is for kids with big jeans & chains attatched to their (empty) wallets….LOL****

    I love the look of mine – after re reading my post it comes across as if I dont.They kick ass.Full stop.08 models onwards once they got the “belly” & swoopy top tube look much better than the earlier Trances.
    Dont you know that 100mm travel trail bikes are the new 130mm travel trail bikes ?????? 😉

    Mate – they ride so nicely.I have a large trance (08) & am so pleased with it.Its my only bike so the addition of a u turn fork upfront means its suitable for all sorts – enduros,trail centres & it will get its first trip to Spain this year aswell.Ride one first,forget the looks – isnt that the most important thing ???

    @ votchy – glad it wasn’t just me in “plasticine” woods doing the “I’m sure I’m riding with 2 flat tyres” thing all the way through !

    Tell me about it rocketdog – my stand out comment that someone hollered to me was “mate ,I’d take that Giant back,it sounds like a **** Marin”….LOL 😆

    One of our team had a tumble on the wet/rocky section before the pond.2 stitches to the knee & a suspected chipped collarbone.Obviously I felt great when I saw him fully showered etc & was given the news I was going out on my 6th lap !
    Personally preferred the 2nd side after Kenda climb,I think the grassy sections across the way were harder going than the mud.Must have been my nevegals…lol.
    Knackered today though fellas to be honest.

    No way is that suitable,you need much more travel for trail centres.

    @davey_clayton – Your comment about the leg hair – not likely.Votchy is a proper xc jey boy shaven legged streamlined whippet of a “lad” (well,a lad until Friday… 😉 ) 😆
