yep, the vanilla rc is a reat shock when ste up well, i like the new dhx rc4 too but it isnt cheap!

i hope they are reliable, your brakes seem to get a lot of use! 😛

twang off of here is a good un. drop me an email and ill give you his number.

if someone breaks in to your home own them with some bombers

1 and 19 are the same

this is a rigged vote. mutiny!

when taking your mates down an evil trail which you know and they dont, always point out the worst lines and say 'its the only way to do it'.

even better if you have a camera handy!

once they are bleeding and demoralised with their bikes in the creek below, ride the proper line with the excuse 'i just went with it'.

(multiple crashes on parkin clough yesterday content)

what bike are you fitting them to out of interest?

floats are great, as said above its much easier to adjust to suit your weight.

that said, its not that hard on a coil fork and they definitely are more supple and smooth

both are great forks though

the rotors should be absolutely fine. hope rotors are a little bit wider than some but you shouldnt have any problems if they are straight and true

sorry cant help you there, im a serial tyre popper so run heavy dual plys

i hear maxxis crossmakrs are good though

yep, great folk. i contacted them out of the blue having found them on a google search. they sorted me out with an unbeatable price on a commencal supreme frame and threw in a maxle rear end too. not to mention a good hour or so's advice on the best bike for me.

i wish my lbs were half as good as them!

looking forward to the snowdon one!

oh, wrong forum 😛

real is real

sdg ibeam post with ifly seat saves a good amount, not bad value for money if you can find somewhere doing that 'buy the seat, get the post free' offer.

as already said, wheels and tyres would save a fair amount, 1×9 will save around a pound too

ditch the dual shifters too. just because 😛

lol daveells, i think you should trot that comment out for every single new bike on here and see how many folk take it as an insult that they ride a 'girls bike'

consistent top 20 at WC level definitely 'has it' in my book.

looks liek you need a longer stem on it 😛

from the forum rides ive been on, most folk ride suitably trail orientated bikes either ht or 4-5" fs with varying spec depending on budget.

apart from me on my near 40lb tank that is

crc usually have good stock

i have broken both xtr and raceface atlas, running saint at the moment and they look tatty but so far no issues. i do break bits quite a lot though unfortunately

the sunline one is nice and low, i used one when i cut a steerer down too short

its not as good as rangers imo

all your questions seem to have been answered so ill just throw in another 'go for it' comment, you wont regret it. rangers path is one of the best trails you will ever ride

nbt finds an electrical socket to plug my neon bike in to…

Who fell off the green commencal going down to that stream?

Sorry for riding over your tyre

definitely some overtaking under the yellow flag there pook!

pook, i thought you had just done a photography course? maybe i made that up…

hora, first hill of the day; i slowed down a bit after that!

nbt, would have made a good pic if i had run him over eh?

i thought a professional photographer like yourself might be able to make me look good pook! ah well…

'drift'

when what you mean is 'skid'

or 'my tyre slipped and i cacked my pants'

lol bunnyhop, i wasnt going to mention you telling me 'i prefer going down' but in light of the caterpillar story i thought id share.

nbt, can you send me a link to that farmer john event? ive tried looking on facebook but i dont really get fb and couldnt find it

that was fun. cheers everyone, even hora

nice one pook, hopefully see you in the morning

ive got some wicked painkillers, tramadol i think they are. ill bring you a couple along if you like. might make for a bit of a spaced-out ride though!

if you havent already bought a bike id consider a commencal supreme, ive seen them for sub £1800 for this years one, retail is 2500.

i use mine for 'xc', by which i mean downhill but riding to the top first. cant fault it (apart from the weight)

sambob you not playing? i was going to offer you my brothers big travel bike for a razz!

hora, mtfu and use dual ply, its the future!

ill be there as long as twang turns up to give me a lift!

no worries will, i think i might have blagged from someone else

nbt, cheers

nbt, any news on the route? im over biked for a rolling xc ride but if theres a bit of rocky steep stuff then im in

will, ta very much

hora i dont doubt it lol, my riding has definitely taken a turn towards lazily pushing up lately.

still looking for a lift from notts if anyone can help out?

ive wangled the day off work so im in

anyone got room in their car for a lift from notts/ m1 j25? pretty please! 😳

thats a shame, looked like a half decent bike. i test rode one and it wasnt for me but i could see the appeal

im supposed to be working but ill try to swap so i can come out to play as long as its definitely a pootle. my bike really doesnt go up hills very quick at all! (absolutely nothing to do with the rider)

glad to see these making a return pook, ive missed em!
