    Bloody stone chips!

    I couldn't care less about the plastic cover being damaged as that's a fairly cheap replaceable part. the guard is because of the chips/gouges that are in the frame after the cover stops that will eventually lead to other issues if not kept on top of. Most of this is caused when bottoming out...

    Rock shox Zeb vs Fox Performance

    the upgrade to 180mm would mess with the geometry a bit, if you are looking at the e160 it would make most sense to stick with the 160mm travel option. When they are the same travel both should be good and very similar in terms of being very stiff and having enough ability to tweak to your...

    Which for steep techy dh between SL or Rise?

    Self preservation kicks in well before anything resembling red bull sponsorship happens. ? I'm still fairly intermediate to average rider but this bike has really allowed me to find a slightly higher comfort zone and enjoy more riding.

    Which for steep techy dh between SL or Rise?

    Monster truck in the sense that the 180mm of travel +25kg weight gives you the ability to forget about what it in the way and just smash through it regardless of talent. Not that i advocate that style as the downside is that it can really numb the fun out of more average trails. Everything is a...

    Which for steep techy dh between SL or Rise?

    I'm still waiting on a warranty claim on my dropper post but the offer was genuine if you want to meet up at leeds urban bike park or greno woods (watch out for those trees) at a weekend i'd be happy to let you have a play on a 27.5 to see how agile a big travel bike can still be.

    Which for steep techy dh between SL or Rise?

    If you want to try something on the other end of the scale carl i can always pop up to try some of the trails your way and you can try out a very slack 27.5" monster truck. ? (size medium)

    LETS SEE YOUR RIDE FOOTAGE

    go pro hero 9 black here. I love the image stabilisation but it's still a trade off between field of view/resolution and battery life. In terms of stroage space it's not too much of an issue as i have a 256gb memory card in it. And recently bought an extra 2 batteries. Generally i get about...

    Learning about the E180 RS

    Following this with interest. Mine has now covered 1300 miles and i'm still to give in and replace any part of the drivetrain beyond the jockey wheels. With everything being so expensive i'm generally quite reluctant to start stripping it down. H 1700 SPLINE 27.5 - 30 mm IS 12/148 mm Sram | DT...

    Coil shock

    Be interested to see how this pans out. Despite the e180 v1 having a coil the general consensus was that the bike wasn't set up progressive enough for a coil to work well.

    GoPro Hero9 Editing Software

    DaVinci Resolve 17 | Blackmagic Design it just requires registering. as for royalty free music you can get quite a lot on youtube under the youtube studio if you have a channel. You can always have the channel but keep everything unlisted to only share with people you want to see it...

    GoPro Hero9 Editing Software

    Davinci resolve is useable free (the full studio is the one that costs money), that's what i've been using to chop together badly edited videos from my go pro. but make sure you play about with the output settings to get something that youtube doesn't then compress into a blobby mess. Also be...

    Which helmet

    my proframe was the same with the mips cutting into my head a bit, plus it cracked on my first proper off :D and the visor being fixed was a bit annoying. using a leatt dbx 4.0 enduro which has the ability to run without the lower section but i've never found a good time to use it like that as...

    whyte e180 rs

    That would be awesome if it could be arranged. Just takes away that bit of range anxiety. It'll be an early start for me, at least it wouldn't be getting dropped off late.

    whyte e180 rs

    that's tempting, but i would have to find something suitable to leave as collateral ;D Sure you don't want to just hire out your bike battery and go nowhere that day? ?
