There is that small point ?. I think the majority of us would agree that communism doesn't belong in the countryside though.

In all fairness horses have as much, if not more right to be there as we do. I'd say there are select groups (and plenty of them) who are miserable and in my experience it tends to be the older, more set in their ways types that don't approve. I've always found if you're pleasant to people then...

With all due respect this is a bit narrow minded. We all need local trails due to time constraints and YES there's valid arguments for us not to ride footpaths but at the same time depending on you're location, I don't see the harm in sharing quiet country footpaths and enjoying them alongside...

I'm sure the Vitus is every bit a riot to ride as the eOne Sixty but just be aware they will be like be like rocking horse shit to get hold of. Good luck!

The two Merida links are the same bike. It's the eOne Sixty 800 and at that price it's a steal. Can't comment on the Vitus but I've got the Merida and it's mint!

To be honest they're rubbish. You're better off buying a Marsh Guard or equivalent. The ones on Evans are pretty good.

The bike was imported to the UK from a Spanish retailer.

It came with the bike. There's a matching rear guard too. This one has been replaced as it's too small and doesn't protect the fork seals.

All sorted!

Good point and thanks! That will work if the dropper and mech cables are the same diameter (I would have thought they are) as the holes in the clamps are different sizes. What a load of messing around. I just want to ride the thing!

I know Canada is opposite to UK because I recently hired a bike at Bromont bike park in Quebec and had to get them to reverse the brakes on the bike I hired. I always understood the difference to be as ccrdave explained. Regardless, it is what it is and it ain't changing any time soon.

This is exactly the issue. If the cables are just a bit untidy and don't fold if the bar spins then I'll probably just live with it. As you say we could swap the clamps over but then the dropper would really have to go on the right hand side of the bar so the cable entry was left hand downtube...

It's on an eOne Sixty 800. SLX brakes are coming straight off and being replaced with CODE R's. Just looks like the left lever not entering the right side of the down tube will be too cramped, especially if/when I take an off and the bars spin.

Has anyone swapped their brakes over to the UK standard? i.e. left hand rear, right front. Having the left brake cable enter the down tube from the left looks like it would be too cramped. Has anyone modified the entry for this cable to the right side?
