anything with sealed bearings

Cranks, bars etc have been used on loads of team bikes not gone into production.

Just get some raceface atlas cranks and a hope sticker…

Miami bryce with the win again! The look on gwinns face was priceless (and his grandma’s)

Looks it could well be the year of the rat and he could take the overall!

All black one was limited edition ‘stealth’ model

It’s hard not to go that fast when you have no brakes…

2.3 butcher

Not ridden it yet so can’t give a complete review…

But I’ve just sold my dialled alpine (LT steel hard tail similar to a soul) to buy a whyte T130 seems to fit the bill nicely, 130mm travel front and rear 650b and relatively light.

Yes he does, also a Ground control 2.3 grid is a good option for a tough but faster rolling alternative for the summer. (Stuck with the butcher on the front)

Not a vax, I’ve had mine for 6 months and had to change the brush belt at least 8 times…

Wheel barely leaves the ground?! Are you lot not watching the same video.

I am selling mine, £120 with good ictech sintered pads (only a few month old still original pads). Email in profile.

Specialized do some which fit my 3 year old and are actually decent quality shrunk version of the big ones not novelty kids ones like some.

Btw I am aware the new alpine is 650b bit mentioned it as they still make a 26″ option.

My rebound knob fell off so my rebound is set for me also ( I can’t be arsed to use a tool to change it) must be an x fusion feature.

+1

If you are buying a full bike I see no reason to not get 650b

Orange make a 26″ alpine still but not sure if frame only.

Im 5 8″ on a good day and I have ridden a few 29ers and I am still alive, slight issues with toe overlap at times (if riding a small rather than medium) but then again I do have size 12 feet.

It’s fast on the way up and on the flat, feels like a bag of spanners on the way down at the moment as I think the shock bushes are worn and it has terrible tyres that are really worn so not done enought to judge it’s full potential.

Welcome to try it if you are anywhere near south east wales

I’m borrowing an athem x 29er at the moment whilst I am between bikes, it is a small and I am the same height as you and it is fine with wide bars and a 70mmish stem.

Given the choice I would be on a medium with shorter stem

They only sold a few 30.9mm 150mm drop reverbs then have stopped, I think there was an issue with it not having enough volume for the amount of travel (IE same reason they don’t do a 27.2)

As long as you have your reverb collar a few inches out of your frame then there is no reason to not go for the 150mm really. But not necessarily short arse compatible.

Whyte 901/905

I look at cracks on a daily basis

fnar fnar 😆

Doesn’t look good though, what torque are you correctly torquing it to?

I hate sprouts but I don’t think I would go that far to abandon then on top of a mountain

Another vote for bobbin they are decent bikes for the money.

Vaults are bigger than most others (I’m sat next to a a cabinet with most of the available flat pedals in)

This all sounds like a very stressful way of riding a bike I’m glad I ride alone…

Get some slants at 160mm

(This recommendation May be related to the ones I have for sale 😉 )

Luckily for you I have the answer… I did the exact same thing, didn’t like them so went for no decals in the end.

Decal on the rear no decals on the front

Got the mt500 spray and they are great for well spray… And not stupidly hot as normal material at the front.

Ours are all park (99% anyway) owned by the shop and replaced when we break stuff! but the manager of the shop that was here before us made everyone have their own set of tools bought themselves which does seem a bit odd, but makes a bit more sense once you know the manager left and set up his own shop leaving the owners with no choice but to sell…

Just watch out for cars making strange signals with their headlights at you.

seen them twice but about 5 years since the last time. Absolutely incredible live.

I have sony ones similar to the link above are a few levels higher i think but were only about £25 in a sale and work fine, not amazing but won’t be too bothered if I lose/break them like my last snazzy seinheiser ones…

One of THESE it has all the tools you need (hex, chain tool tyre levers etc) and is nice and small.

that plus a powerlink,tube and pump is all you really need.

Buy something like fox launch elbows In the small youth size should work as knees.

Take your bars off. Take them to a shop and compare to the ones you want to buy.

Are there really so many veggies surprised that their walkers meat flavour crisps have meat in?

On a related note, very disappointed with the aldi pringles i just opened.

shadow + means clutch mech, higher number means newer range shimano.

Don’t think so as iirc the fitting are different for the hoses.

Surely you mean enduro brakes?
