Are specialized not doing the spring reward again? Ie spend money on thte bike get 10% of the valve in specialized kit for free?

Can remember lusting after a Zasker le with judy? Forks oh how I wanted that!!! Then a proflex 456!! Amazing how much has changed!!

So we lose a pro western government and get a…………………? Door is wide open now people seem to forget that democracy takes generations to develop and during this stage is often corrupt and the peolpe can be worse off and as in our case now is corrupt or questionable in it’s motives and your vote actually has little effect as in our recent election.

As oil runs out and un friendly Arab states gain modern or even mid 20th century weaponry ( the nuclar bomb is what 60 yrs old now? ) the balance of power will shift away from the west………I think people need to wake up and take interest in these events on a regular basis instead of when it’s on news 24 all day before they delight in the loss of one autocrat!

Still what tyres of Egypt single track……

Black run us great fun just a huge (well is not that bad at all) climb at the start but it’s fast and I really like it. I would do a couple of loops of the skills section that’s a good laugh too!!

Hi mate I’m 6’2 and a bit! And ride a large with 150mm u turn revs, and a 90mm stem, for proper xc I’d go a bit longer but the 90 for me gives a good mix of chuck-able trail bike and room to breathe. I LOVE this bike as in my beloved five has sat unused for the four months+ I have had this bike Inc trail centres and local loops for £300 its a steal! I got the black and it looks really smart! Service from the cotic guys was great too! I would buy one again in a shot!

Its an education riding it however as in I had gotten lazy with my FS bikes so my third ride in it all made sence as a package…. Buy it fella!!!

very wet today here such a shame as it was getting nice and fast in the woods oh well summer is coming…….. getting tired of the consant bike washing!!

I think you should hit the really shonky jump line in Lords wood on your fixed 29er………….

I use silicon lenses which don’t dry out in my eyes when I bike very good. I do always wear a clear set of glasses on the top however stope and flying bits of debris and keeps the wind from drying out the lenses when going at speed!

You will get the hang of putting them in just chill and don’t rush but eventually it’s easy 🙂

Doh 🙄 sorry double post.

S works enduro mate!!!

Yep use mine in the work stand as did the lbs, just don’t beast the clamp in!

Lhs is on to something though mate! Time for just you is essential! Time for just you and the mrs is essential!

We looked at one, but got a Galaxy instead which has been faultless and is just massive! My mate has one now and there is more space in the galaxy, but he is pleased with it.

Yes mate sometimes I do. Two kids eldest is 3 tough job and other bits too. Only way to stay sane for me is to ride my bike and spend good time with little ones and mrs. But you do need time to chill and to give your head some room to chill to do these things I have found.

Can you take any leave? Two weeks is good a week to just drop a week to regroup. Then you can cull some outstanding jobs etc?

No shame in taking time out and actually by doing this you regain control which IMHO is the same as MTFUing!

Tony Ja in ong Bak just amazing scenes in that film. Hollywood has to be the first matrix scene with the lobby or the hand to hand stuff it blew my mind when I saw it as a kid!

Legend he’s grassed you nasty people all to ebay. 😆

Amazing pic!

Thanks all!!

I tried a few Inc the new e2 before I bought a new one but for light weight xc lid I have a specialized s works just an amazingly light lid and I’ll be buying another when this one dies. Hits the venting spot one and feels very secure.

For a bit more trail riding I don’t think you can beat a xen lots of good offers nout if your not fussy with the colour!

Great thanks all! Afan here I come!!!

No cafe!!! Ye gods the trip may be off

Buy a big lump of forest ( thanks Dave) build a trail centre a la whister…..

Buy a big house with a bike barn two of each bike one with wet weather tyres one with dry tyres,

Learn how to really ride my bike!!!

Ah this isn’t cheating or doping, it’s more like saving up for a rainy day, it’s all his own blood he’s just choosing to use it at a later date when it will allow him to perform at his best……… Blimeywhats your issue…… 😈 now be honest it’s my first troll any good?

Honestly IMHO life ban no returns ever straight out of the sport banned from all UCI events and any teams and or sponsors involved with these events……. Otherwise it will just continue to be worth the risk to dope otherwise you won’t can’t compete at the top levels…..

Wasn’t impressed really hoping it was setting the scene but not hopeful!

Is it not the width that’s the difference and the rim strength is simlar? So I have been told any how………..

Hi mate I was there on Friday, and it was brilliant fun. No epic climbs like White level but really fun fast twisty singletrack. Bit greasy but well worth a visit!

Radio just said he may lose an arm shocking. Hope it’s just a bad news report and he is not hurt that badly

Got a Bfe, 150mm uturns on the front Slx hope hubs and flow rims, it’s a hoot!! Just love it, cant recommend it enough as a really fast fun bike.

2x Mtb marathons

Black mountain three day

Transwales

Hope to go to dalby

Seven hills killer on the IoW always a laugh with my mates!!

What size is it? Look for about 60% really mate.

Great choice mama the bfe is my fav bike such good fun!

Got that set up no issues at all…..

Jon burns +1

Tough situ mate. Can you go else wher to work? Ie a library I find a change of scene can help focus the mind plus free time to ride. As you know yourself it’s all about discipline and focus tough when your feeling so low buffing let the momentum drop once you get it see your learning as your job.

Best of luck mate.

Yeah it was all fine and has just been checked out by the shop had an issue with the rear neck hanger from new, mech at the shop said it may need time to bed in gear wise which I have never been told before or experienced with a new bike.

Don’t get me wrong I won’t be fing and jeffing that’s not my thing or how you get people to help you but I’d expected a bit more from a new bike. Not my usual lbsbut I do know them well were I got the bike so a bit worried it’s a pup!

That was my thinking too will be chilled but ask for it to be sorted out.

Sorry double post fat fingers and touch screen!

Tj it’s not my usual lbs, tempted to get my usual lbs to do it but worried about warranty as it’s quite an expensive bike (I used all my savings and sold a kidney ) I don’t want to play about with it I’m an ok mech but this should be spot on shouldn’t it??

Hi mate I get the same but this is wont actually load up the pages. its slow on all pages of the web really, except strangely my wifes amazon app!

Do I need to see one of the apple store people?

Sorry to hear that mate all the best.
