Yes. It will spin up faster and turn better.

is there really that much difference??

I don’t really see why it should be cheaper than Transition, spesh, trek etc. It’s not like they are a budget brand.

As for sticker price, I doubt that they are swimming in frames to shift there is a constant demand for frames, why would they go cheaper??

Mate, go Jedi, honestly it’s totally taylored to you, your age ( eh you’re not old! 😂) or pre existing skills are no boundary.

He’s given me the foundations that made a huge difference to my riding.

I’ve been reading the big Geometron thread on here since it was started, and now this one. I’ll be honest and say I’d love one, and have been stashing the pennies accordingly!

But as time has gone on I do worry that maybe it’s too much Bike for me and my kind of riding, I like riding Trail centres, natural stuff ( I live in the lakes) and the odd trip to Gnar, or BPW.  Bit Im not going at the speed of light or doing 10ft drops to flat!

It’s tough as it’s at one end of the spectrum geo wise, and my current nine a transition is short at the moment 487mm reach but it’s been a revelation to me, and weighting the front really makes to go round the corner on rails.

I’ve startex to think of a middle ground would be better reach wise line the new rocket? I want to go longer and the new transition stuff isn’t different enough to warrant a change as although it’s longer the stem is proportionally shorter so I’m in the same position as near as damn it.

I really like their stuff, and their profile , interaction with people via podcasts FB Instagram etc. Cool little company that’s going places!

How burly are these? Are they more Bfe than Soul? I ended up with one of the first hen Bfes after talking to Cy as the soul would have been too soft for my weight and riding.

Hello!

Will the favourites be fixed at some point? When ever I go to favourites all I see is the current forum posts. Even if I mark a new post as a favourite it won’t show up. Thanks!

Oh wow that’s lovely mate!!!!!! I love the gusset by the head tube!! Beautiful Bike!!!!!

Yep feel your pain! It’s hard going to get out in the cold and wet on stodgy trails and just be crap!! Still…it will be worth it in the summer….( I tell myself…) 🤔

Awesome hit the target and then some!!!!!!! Delighted for you mate!!! Now chill and focus on kicking the shite out of this again!!

Done…now keep going you magnificent bastard you!!!

I think you need to speak to your GP again as soon as you can mate. Explain what you’ve said to us and see what they suggest.

Sertraline is a great drug for some for me it didn’t touch the sides, there are other options. Good luck mate.

I agree with The Brick….Magnets….. magic!

WOw Harry that’s amazing

Don’t contact her boss! Two options as far as I can see.

Either way she needs to take a week off, no phone no emails.

1) She needs to write a detailed factual email of her issues. Give examples of the problems and the effects that they are having on the business, the staff and her. Make sure it’s formal, non emotional, and comes across as a statement of fact. Make Send it to her bosses boss and the HR manager. She needs to recognise this may get worse before it gets better…

2) she needs to get out ASAP.

I’ve got a D3 shaped head, couldn’t find another ff that was comfy to wear, the giro is a similar fit, but less encompassing at the same time does that make any sense!?! As in it fits great but feels more like a normal lid when on than a full face does…..

Wheelbase have some you can try on. Ive just bought one….not used it yet though sorry!!

We went to Glen Coe last year in August…..I needed an emergency blood transfusion to top me back up after leaving the van to go for a wee in shorts…😂😂

Rolls-Royce, what are you getting in place of the G13?

Every single perfume advert.
Man jumps out of helicopter, lady throws rocks at helicopter, man now has suitcase filled with money, lady runs up tall building, man eats apple with fork, lady puts on perfume. Fin.

This!!!!! 😂😂😂

Lovely Bike!! Looks fast standing still!

Really like these, fingers crossed the Rockef will get stretched too! ( although might be a while off from the sound of things!)

Hi any news on getting my favourites back in my profile please? No rush just want to know if I have to start googling!!!

Lovely!!!

Looks lush!!

Having a shocker at the moment!! More focus is required!!! I’d give myself a C as I’ve managed to exercise loads more but the diet has been ok rather than good which it what I need…..

I’m sick of being Fat and I’m bloody doing it this time!!!!!

Do it!!! At 36 I’d  lost my soul and sanity to a corporate job, binned the job and thankfully kept the important bits ( wife and kids) regained sanity….now hoping to lose the weight!!!

Really go for it!! 9-5 world will always be accessible if that’s what you want.

Yeah I dont want on off, I like the brakes to be progressive, so I can modulate the power! It’s the stop not bounce at maxed out I like!

I think Hopes are probably where I got the idea from, I had some on a orange about ten years ago

Yeah there’s something about Katherine Ryan alright….

i still really enjoy Frankie Boyle his promethiad podcasts were great, Jimmy Carr live is very good when he can say why he wants rather than what TV allows!!

Ben Elton has disappeared he was great in the 90’s.

She’s very pretty EGF!!! :) and it’s great news that Mrs EGF is well!! I’m gutted it’s not worked out in her new home. :(

I think you need to think about all the reasons why she needed to leave, and the reasons why you couldn’t keep her, and why you got her (I remember it was really your wife who wanted her to start with) and decide! There will be a lifetime of Shite and Hair to contend with….but also cuddles walks and affection too

She’s still very young so will go through a teenage phase where she will be all indignant and disobedient but they grow out of that as long as you stick to your guns!! And it sounds like she maybe doing that now!! But she can and will be a fab dog if loved and brought up right!!

I’d agree with the post above if she comes home this time she needs so stay for ever, it’s not fair to move her again.

Good luck!! ( I’m secretly hoping you get her back!!)

thanks  all the brakes aren’t spongy in use and work great ( it’s a set of XT’s I’m using) and do soninuse as well, it’s that the lever doesn’t stop dead and it’s not something I notice in use either….argh I’m not explaining this very well!! LoL

im still dubious about spending money on SRAM brakes though…

Yeah I’d pay pal and cover the fees.
