????? @R120 thanks for fulfilling my request

The rear camera really proves how much is lost on forward facing POV I’ve never seen that done before but really showed how tricky the trails were

Some of wharncliffe if anyone hasn’t seen! That’s probably about 20% of it and then there’s grenoside across the road, good day out for all levels really. Guys who clearly know what there doing but still nearly end up in a&e ?! That lad who flies between trees is blessed by the mtb gods As...

I wasn’t wise enough to avoid wharny, a little bit here and a bonus fail at the end, you’ll probably recognise that one! Oh and the camo rock was the funniest off Ive had so far LUBP I live next to this place so I’ve been a few times, I remember buying a cube kathmandu before realising...

@R120 please can you adequately edit my name to the more apt ‘Carlnobber’ until I deserve my rather misplaced current name? ?

I’ve 200 miles to my entire mtb career... it was dialled in from a shop for me and felt fairly nice actually, I’ve tackled stainburn inc off piste sections and surprising took it on well but maybe I just got lucky that day, I had 4 offs but that was actually on the flat rocky slower stuff and...

Good shiz this Gazza thanks! It’s size L I’m 6ft 85kg, but then pack more weight on with coating every limb in body armour for fun too! I’d argue the analogy stands a little: Car theory test raises awareness Car practical test ensures skills are there Car that you learn in can turn Car...

I’ll try the rear 27.5 cheers ?. My current one is on back to front which you’d think would slow it down (Another bike shop classic) As for buying skills, until the matrix chair comes out I guess your right ? Until then the other thing ‘training’ exists but from day 1 it’s been almost...

Kind of I guess... ? But I don’t recalI the part where I said I wanted to win DH Enduro races, how can this not be the bike? ?‍♂️ it’s like never passing your driving test (or theory test lol) and then being told a drag car is the best car to go for (maybe they mention go faster stripes or...

So I did my best to get the right bike for me, me being an enthusiastic type willing to literally ‘throw’ myself into things (I’ll not mention what) and instead of getting the higher specced Cube I followed advice from various sources stating ‘but the geometry’ is way better on the Orbea...

My discs didn’t fit in the end, the Mt7 brakes are monsters, actually you have to retrain how to handle the bike there that powerful, modulation will be key here it’s just knowing when it’s actually biting but there are also adjustable biting points too

Just an update so I bought an Elgrand as below: Cost £9500 but I had to compromise on 4wd, sun roofs, crazy power curtains and things, then turns out it wasn’t undersealed or decored and I’d need a tow bar but after 6 weeks of searching this was the best buy! Then....next day the exact one...

?????? Zim you are the stuff of legends I swear!!! But bro, how are you always correct?? She has never been the same since I showed her! ?

I think it’s just feeling the bike again, I did have moments where I almost felt as one with the bike, but then I also get very as one with that tree too! ? Chest wise, buy the knox d30 chest, it fits nicely into the racer.....I just can’t fix the moving d30 pads in the other places like...

Racer also gets my vote for comfort, it really is a second skin! But no chest/ribs and secondary type areas. how long did your rotar cuff take to heal? I’m doing physio every day and I still get shots of pain, it’s an ass of a thing! Ive decided enough of zero action, next week I’m off out in...

hope your not too badly hurt! I’ve lost my mojo since my accident in November and I find myself not willing to do any of the fun black descent stuff even though I know I can do it and out on trails I’m acting like I’m made out of glass atm; really does take the wind out of your sails. I...

Yeahs that’s mine, there is normally sizing guides, I’ve never tried the O’Neil personally

There was the Demon top which is like a bigger version of the TL stuff but I felt it would be too sweaty so sent that back. I settled on Knox urbane in the end just because the pads stay in the right positions which didn’t happen with all the other tops, there only CE1 but they are better...

Gary at times you are a fountain of knowledge but I think you’ve maybe banged your head without realising I’m afraid ? My own ‘special’ example: now I’m sure your comeback would be, ‘what idiot rides in the wet xyz’ but that’s Britain’s for you, point is all levels of riders can slip...

elgrand at its finest!!!
