Is there anywhere I can watch this now,? I’ve searched and can’t find a thing.

Sounds like you deserved it.

Why do the Orange Five threads attract the dick heads?

They seem a bit expensive.I wonder if they are really much better than a Jaguar S type.Looks a bit similar.

They are about as similar as Megan Fox and Jade Goody.

Jaguar XF’s are sexual.

Stop riding for a few weeks, start going to the pub and eating takeaways every night and put on as much weight as possible, see how she likes that.

I wouldn’t.

Crank Bros Candy’s are good. They have been strengthened, are easily serviceable, and pretty cheap.

Supply and demand.

Sounds like you’re the only stupid one GW, you waffle shite, arguing for the sake of it.

Grow up.

I didn’t bother reading through the whole thread, just the OP.

Its your fault.

6 bikes, WTF.

Cotic Solaris.

u send me the 36 first

and you send him back £40?

Bike build counts more than rear suspension – I once rode my Global frame built up with wide bars and burly forks and I was a descending God. Built up as an XC bike with flat bars and rigid forks I’m much less confident down hills.

So comparing HT to rigid then, not just different builds.

So the the general consensus is yes then?

Well said deanfbm

It makes you a smoother rider for sure.

My thoughs exactly.

Smoother is better, and will ultimately lead to being faster on any bike.

Just to clarify, I didn’t mean faster, I meant teach you better technique.

Just because you can go faster on a FS by ploughing through everything without any though on line choice or braking zones, doesn’t mean you have better technique.

So riding a full suspension makes you a better rider LOL

Only on STW….

33.22 lbs with pedals, the frame weighs 7.43 lbs 😯

Learning the correct skills and building confidence to go faster on a HT would be a logical, as they make you a ‘better’ rider.

And yet, they’ll find it easier, (arguably, depending on the downhill) go faster and likely have more fun.

Isn’t that, like, the point?

Flattening the trail out so much you feel like you are riding on the road isn’t my idea of fun. There are only a few places in the UK you would need 185mm of travel, non are trail rides.

Going fast is only a part of it, being on the edge, feeling the trail through the bike, you kind of miss all that when you are over biked, unless you are riding something really gnarly.

But is going faster actually making that person a “better” rider?

No.

Proper long travel only really works if you have decent skills in the first place

Sorry to sound offensive, but what a load of BS.

An average rider will be quicker on a rough downhill section on an LT full sus because you actually have to have skills to ride a HT fast, a LT full sus bike does all the work for you.

180mm for trail riding – LOL

What’s SITS?

Edit: Sleepless in the saddle, how boring!

Exercise of any sort will make you feel a lot better.

have to say I am missing your point also, DS.

Me too.

Love the green one!

I bought one off Ebay for £12, it did the job just fine.

Or someone will recommended a bike they have never ridden 🙄

Go to Tesco and buy a bottle of MAN THE **** UP!

Your family have left you. Personally if I were in your situation this would give me some serious motivation to get my ass in gear, stop drinking, and start re prioritizing. Not tomorrow, not next week, now!

What Mboy said, I would have written exactly the same thing.

Dizzie Rascal, he can **** right off.

The thread title may as well have been “What trial bike do you currently ride” because everyone will just tell you exactly that.

Clean rotor, lightly sand pads, make sure caliper is aligned properly.

Don’t buy Shimano XT’s, I’ve had nothing but trouble with mine. The seals started leaking after two rides!! Good luck getting spares, I wish I never bothered.

You can’t go wrong with Hope, good choice.
