I’ll try inspect a little closer, I’d really love to use this tyre but it’s not right is it....unless Schwalbe have a secret recipe and let their prototype next gen tyre out by error! (I wish)...the sidewalls felt the same, way better than the dhf etc

But you prefer the poppy fun factor that air gives? Im not overly curious about comfort, hell if it’s not bouncy it’s not really mtb is it? I think it’s more a rider style rather than one being better, so my logical theory to that is, own both ? I do fancy seeing if it’s true about...

Had a right fight sticking two of the most difficult tyres going being BigBetty 29x2.4 Super Dh (6 layers) and Magic Mary 29x2.6 Super Gravity (4 layers), don’t know why but on the Rise it was way harder, anyhow I found a new technique that works wonders thankfully! It does concern me having to...

Oh nice!! be interested to hear your findings. Increasing travel with spacers sounds pretty good, any down sounds to that method?

Im not sure it’s feasible to get 64 degrees well without the longer shock. What I know so far is: 216x63 160-170 fork, 2 offset bushes for 29er, 65-66HT, 350 BB 160-170 fork, 0-2 for mullet, 63-64.5 HT, 340 BB 340mm is still abit low but you could offset that running a 2.5 tyre a little from...

Been there done that already, it might be why I shelled out on the bike ?. Back to my query, like I say trail days 65.5 air setup, more techy dh stuff 64 coil, most lads I’m out with are 63-64 I’ve tried them also, it’s better dh for sure. I’d also like that bit of small bump...

Someone else made a good point in saying to sell the fork fork for upto £1k and buy the era and have done with it. Smashpot voids warranty, eras adjustable travel but I think it’s their first version so tricky to know if it’s worth it, reviews are decent. Smashpot also weighs too much so...

so upto now I’d been thinking ERA storia v3 & smashpot mullet 160/160, 64 head angle but I can swap back to trail bike version using my old shock and make the bike 150 front 140 back again for the poppy park days minus the smashpot coil to the front ofc . I like the look of ohlins but it’s the...

I’d also like to know that, I’ve decided on buying an ext storia and will probably buy a smashpot also, I’ve already put magic mary and big Betty on the rise, basically anything to full fat the thing oddly ? (I’m not going to keep the tyres I don’t think, 2.7kg) thanks

I mean that’s super interesting but the stock shock is only 140 travel, in terms of geo it would be nice if it specified what degree it’s changing things a it’s a little unclear, love the concept though be so handy to hit a lever! ive some steep stuff coming up in a few weeks in the lakes hence...

anyone tried any of these look breathable and good coverage...

It can’t move as it’s already tight fitting but the fabric being stretchy allows for it without being too tight. Wonder if a bladder would fit in the back maybe, never explored that option, would look weird though having the hunch back look however

well you not remember asking me this before? ? it fits in just on compression alone, perfectly, buy one and give it a go you can easily sell if not, I sold the bigger chunky horrible one on eBay easy enough

There is the knox chest attachment (the newer) one that slots in really well, I’m tempted to remove that foam chest pad, in an ideal world there would be another chest pad to use that doesn’t end up pressing on your skin as much but it is optional at least

Hey stringy vests are popular with both Take That and Chubby brown, maximum versatility!

What would the 65.5 to 64.5 option be....maybe 64.5 is that nice in between place, or just crap at everything! ?

interesting but no chest

What’s your long term verdict? In really hot weather this ones too hot for me, we don’t get many super hot days here but I literally have to strip any shirts off and wear just this, even on some normal days too, the ventilation is good but the weight maybe makes it hotter because the material...

Hang on you say TLD is breathable? That thing looks like a sweat feast waiting to happen? Memory foam, I’ve a small bit on the racer chest and that’s the first to heat up

What did you settle on?
