    Forestal Siryon 2021 Edition One - Owners Thread

    Apparently In July they will have UK dealers but I imagine the RRP will go up a lot, atm you can get these for £5800 instead of £7044 but then there is customs and as much as I’d love to share @Zimmerframe optimism, I’m not sure a huge bike box is going to pass, these guys aren’t going to start...

    What they like in the mud? I was looking at Mary’s but think the roll resistance might get annoying on bigger days out

    Which for steep techy dh between SL or Rise?

    So now I’m confused ?! The normal bike lads mainly get to the session skills type stuff, you know trails, jumps, drops that kind of thing (general mincing) and I’m just starting to build upto jumps and drops (larger ones) but I tend to avoid because I’m still working on the bike setup...

    Forestal Siryon 2021 Edition One - Owners Thread

    Why do I read the internet, each time it brings another crazy idea, even though I have the rise on preorder I’m still tempted to drop the £199 deposit and buy one of these, does anyone know if apps like Komoot would work on it, I’m guessing it has its own ecosystem so probably not but that...

    GoPro mount for Smith Mainline?

    I had managed to put it under the visor and it worked quite well if you’ve seen the two videos I did, chest is an idea but I’ve heard injuries because of this but granted I’d rather not have the extra weight on my head but I’d only wear the chest with a protector, which I do have but man I’ll...

    What happens when coming to the very final climb but you run out of battery miles earlier

    I was just losing balance and the bike wanted to fall left and so I thought actually, that might be quite nice to just go with the flow! Second wind came after this and it flew dh!! Annoyingly, I didn’t realise at the top of this was literally the end of it! ?

    Which for steep techy dh between SL or Rise?

    Awesome or just copy/paste the Komoot link? I think I can download the gpx from there if that’s what the Kiox uses although I find my phone works best, elevation data’s pretty handy to see but I need to find a way to mount my phone onto my frame and not the bars!

    Which for steep techy dh between SL or Rise?

    I don’t suppose you could piece it together on kommute at all if you get a min? I can’t seem to tie up the bottom parts together to close the loop as it backtracks back up and down the reservoir, defo will to give it a try, I see beast comes back on itself but that’s fine Yeah it’s because we...

    lockerbrook descent I think it was around point 8 Oh will check beast cheers ?, that potato alley is a pain in the ass going at full speed but my suspension is still really stiff (need to get a cassette tool to remove tokens!)

    Which for steep techy dh between SL or Rise?

    Can highly recommend this place and this loop in particular, extremely gnarly dh sections, I nearly ended up skidding down a steep embankment (trying to avoid too much slop) but then it’s not advisable to take a high line which requires jumps in slippy terrain needing perfect form (and luck) but...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    For reasons unknown woke up at 5.30am (always seem to wake earlier on mtb days!) but right away ping, thinking of this tyre grading thing, nearest I could find was this Bicycle Rolling Resistance | Rolling Resistance Tests at one stage it was getting alright traffic but it’s tailed off a lot, I...
