You planning some secret practice then smoking the pros?… Its not going to happen :wink:

I live on the otherside of the country to you and drive to The Alps/Provence most summers and have been for 10 years now…. no problem at all.
Taking your own vehicle solves a lot of (possible) logistical problems, you can stop when you want, where you want.

Thrunton is about an hour north, lots of short singletrack tech trails lurking in the trees, seek and thee shall find ;)

Another vote for Bettablast. Done 2 bike frames for me over the years…
Good service, pleasant manner.

Its got nothing to do with mm, its about THIS…

surely you should`ve sorted this out before selling them so as to be aware.
Oh and look at my hermes[/url]

Another positive vote for a Dialled PA. I had a 520 and it was SOOOOOOOOO much fun, made me realise that its capable of everything that a full suss will do, with great aplomb!
Including 320km across France in 6 days:-)with lots of decending
Oh I said “had”. I found an original 853 :)

Get one, you wont regret it!

Only if you`re on a SPECIALIZED FSR rockskelper… 165mm the only way forward

Yes, try this for size:

Whatever you might think of the Prius, it’s a positive beauty compared to most of the others on this thread.

The thing is, the majority of the bastardised cars in here are half reasonable to start with….. That however, is something the Atoyot Pious will never be..
IMO

Fuel 15.5 is really 14.45 according to website.

Bought two pairs from Meerlin and two singles from CRC. The pairs stayed tight and true way longer than the CRC built wheels.
The CRC wheels lasted about a fortnight before the spokes became alarmingly slack and the Merlin wheels never lost that much tension.
The worst offender was a shimano hub/sun rim combination

Worked Friday,did this Saturday

Spent Sunday and today nursing the rest of the household :/
Typically the sun has come out

i dont think he is taken in by the whole 29 inch wheel experience

Perhaps he should`ve thought about the possiblity BEFORE spending that kind of money?

BC Organisers handbook gives pictures of what “required” equipment should look like, and the helmet looks remarkably unlike a MET Parashitechute

No fluid leaks…..No rotor contamination….

I` ve got an old HONE with spacers on mine,works fine on 2×9

A friend of mine was being stalked by someone who is on here, in a bid to find “secret” trails..that were infact, there for all to see. The perpetrator wasnt/isnt capable of finding them because he was………(complete as you see fit) :wink:

How do you think they do it at the MAVIC factory?????

(snow)ploughs and bikes?

toasty toasty toasty:
like having your hands in the oven

Just right for the snow too…..

Its an On-One ffs, cheap as chips, bin it and buy a new frame!
<joke!>

or maybe not?

Just fitted XR-Muds, seem good so far apart from large sections of wet roots

A couple of packages have gone missing on their way to me via royal mail recently. They probably got “binned” too!

Not RM policy to do that, In 25 years I delivered several items that had been inappropriately wrapped…They take the package and put it in a big clear plastic bag and secure tightly….
I would hate to think you were accusing the Postmen of theft…..

World domination on an environmental scale?

The bloke explains about bars/stems in here, just bear with it for a bit…
An informed source[/url]

Have it stolen…..
