    Maybe bad example how about Scott Sports Softcon Air Body Protection from Dirtbikebitz + racer with some mods? The correct size does go all the way down also

    EXT Fork and shocks

    Gamechanger for me tbh, the way the bike grips now is like its glued to the floor, I still get pop when needed too, it’s just given me instant confidence, they did dial in the fox fork for me also although I’ve already bottomed that out with it being 150

    Body Armour? Recomendations and advice.

    When you remove the d30 pads from the racer top you can barely feel it at all, the urbane would be fantastic at stopping flesh scratching off on gravel roads but that extra durable high quality skin even though well vented is just a little much for me, in winter it will be great. Do you recall...

    It’s always this way, even if they have the right size it’s not right half the time, my Knox is XL….just order two sizes, send one back, simples?

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Yeah that’s about right, they flux in weight I’m finding, sometimes quite a lot 50-300g, annoyingly I bought some skin walls too, chap says they might be 1200g but both came in at 1400g (mm 2.4 super grav)

    Body Armour? Recomendations and advice.

    I bought the urbane pro I few months ago, excellent on a cool day, too much in heat, I have the action shirt I’ve been tempted to try or sell new, it just doesn’t seem as breathable as my racer motion 2 top….

    Orbea Rise adjustable geometry 64-65.5?

    I’ve chatted with Chris the other day who’s at Mojo, nice guy. I’ll stick with the 29ers for now, it felt way more agile than my Wild which I’ve now sold, there are a couple tweaks I can to bring it down to 64.5 at least, maybe 64 and I’ll check how that feels. The cost to service is the next...

    Orbea Rise adjustable geometry 64-65.5?

    Cheers appreciate that advice! I’ve to make the decision by tomorrow really and I’m still unsure which is kinda why a geo change on one hand is good as it gives me chance to see which works best but the flip side is like you say harder to get used to things. A wiser me would probably say, try...
