If you are after something a little more sophisticated than Dropbox I’d recommend Huddle. I have a contact there if you are interested drop me an email. stumpytrek@me.com

Looks fantastic!

Have you got any GPS routes or tips for where the good bits on Woodbury are? Like RealMan I have lived round here for years yet never ridden Woodbury…

To add to the confusion I’d say my Pro3s are quieter than my Pro2s!

Not alot in it though tbh

I’d recommend Freeway

stoner – what have you done to adapt that on one? I’m intrigued!

That USMC group are bloody impressive. Not sure what the Queen would make of the rifle twiddling!? More like “dances with rifles”!

It will need a bleed and most probably will be fine tbh.

50ml will be more than enough oil.

Turner Flux (older TNT model)

It’s fast, fun, direct. I wanted one for ages then had an opportunity to buy one. Never regretted it!

You will need lubricants and tools. If you want a good book on bike building and maintenance I’d recommend “Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance”.

Building bikes is hugely rewarding!

Have fun!

I’m in!

That will be just 8 more orders needed!?

I’d have thought your LBS will be able to help but tbh most people use zip ties instead.

Very muddy indeed!

@GW – thanks. I had same feeling re the wheel size. Any advice on brand etc?

I disagree. I run my Ti456 with 100mm SID XX forks.

It sharpens and speeds up the handling. Go for it!

There is something on the on one site re different fork lengths on the 456…

Great idea!

I ran mine with 120mm Magura Phaons and it rode up and down well (but down was the best). Never had to wind the travel down. I have a raw 18″ summer season in very good condition due to go on eBay soon if you are interested?

Lol @ bregante

Cheers guys. I’m really pleased with it! (it’s the picture that makes the saddle look odd)

I enjoyed the long travel hardtail this replaced but this is a whole new world of fun (and possibly injury)!! :0)

I don’t profess to be an expert but I’ll happily show you what I know!

Racier build than most I’ve seen…

Rocky Mountain Blizzard?

Another vote for a Prince Albert! Used to have a Blue Pig but much prefer this…

Mine!

My jerseys arrived this morning.

Can’t see anything wrong with them at all. Great quality. Good fit.

(I’m normally a L and ordered XL)

Very pleased

The black trail is what used to be the very bottom section of the old red run. You drop left off the forestry track at the turning area where the big drop off used to be and wind down to the large berms before taking the fireroad back up to the turning area.

It feels short and like a red grade trail… Because it used to be part of one!

How did he smash it that badly!?

My Ti456 has 100mm SIDs on it as part of a racy build.

Much prefer it to when it had 120mm forks. Much faster steering and somehow feels less ‘vague’.

Why not use a selection of ‘Charlie the Bikemonger’ style quotes? Eg. “I brake for cake” etc

Got newer and older versions. New bleed system better. No need to take reservoir cover off and just plug syringe into it instead.

Another vote for Martas. Have them on all my bikes. Fantastic brake and the SL rotors clear winter grit really well. Oldest pair 4-5 years old and still going strong.

Looks ace!

Nobby Nics

If gets soggier in the woods will put Black Shark mud tyres on the Blue Pig

Mine ran at 120mm. Bit wandery on the up but awesome down. Must say the blue pig that replaced it (with 140 mm pikes) feels just as awesome going down yet steers quicker.. Can’t explain why. Maybe that’s subjective!

Both make great ‘mess about in the woods’ bikes!

Turner Flux. Awesome bike. Beautiful.

On One Ti456 mk2 prototype (only 2 exist)
Cannondale XTJ cross bike
Ragley Blue Pig
Zion 661 (never seen another of these)

I ride my Ti456 with 100mm forks. Much prefer it like that to the 120mm I ran it at before. Seems more responsive and livelier. Very fast and climbs superbly. Agree with the suggestion that it is best at speed rather than ‘bimbling’.

I use length of inner tube. Zip tip at bottom of post and zip tie just below saddle. Job done. Works a treat.

It always seems to be like that on raffle prizes. Saw same thing on a bike that was first prize in a childrens hospital ward raffle!

Not tried the endure ones but pleased with my altura ones.

That’s what I’m worried about!!!!

My Ti456 Mk2 prototype on some local trails two days ago…
