Differences I can see include:- The seatstays have a neater bullet end to them. There may be a mild tapering too but will have to have a close look tomorrow. I think the chainstays look less flared with an indent to help tyre clearance instead? If this is right the whole chainsuck/jam issue that On Ones can be blighted with should be easier. The steel 456s all have straight top tubes without any issue and I prefer that look personally.
MkII from Far East. It's the preproduction sample. Got it in the clearance sale on one had a week or so ago. No strut. Different top tube. Have photo on phone I can post if anyone interested?
Got a contourHD last week. Only one outing so far but very impressed with the quality of the camera and video captured. More discrete than the Gopro and the built in lasers are great for getting the alignment right. Once I get more footage could post something if you'd like?
I run a HTII BB on my summer season with 2 drive side spacers (should be one I think) haven't noticed any problems shifting and the extra clearance does seem to help.
Alpkit stuff seems excellent quality and value. Down is rubbish if wet though. If you are on a budget alpkit are offering their synthetic belay jacket (zerohero?) with 25% off if you join their free developer scheme.
If you are after cheap mapping and just want contour mapping on your etrex then the SMC have links http://www.smc.org.uk/ContourMaps.php to good quality free contour maps of the UK based on data from space shuttle radar mapping.
My Summer Season. It is heavy (but then my other ride is a Turner Flux) but it makes the perfect 'mess around in the woods' bike. It creams down anything technical or steep with awe inspiring ease. I'm running 120 – 90mm up front but almost all the time I leave them at 120mm.
Large parts of it seem pretty much finished and on the whole look good. Nice fast bit between the play and family trails has no obstacles at all so presumably officially open?? Hope they get it done soon!
You are right! 1st photo was taken near the Kenn end of the bridleway that runs from Kennford to Kenn. 2nd photo is on one of the lanes that drop down to Exminster from the hills above Kenn. You must be local?
