I found if i wasn't using the full compliment of zip ties i would start breaking some :( Luckily it's been dry enough for me to not be using the large rear one these last few weeks.

Sometimes I leave the braking (breaking) to all the objects around the trail.

All the trails i'm riding on lately are dead smooth so my maxxterra assegai's are holding up wonderfully.

that's the path gap i was on about. not a chance i'm hitting that. the videos really struggle to give an indication of how steep it is. :D

i love how welsh place names make you think someone just fell asleep at the keyboard.

I was dropping off my bike at Je James for a check over and whilst waiting decided to have a walk around wharncliffe, i couldn't believe how hard it was to even walk down some of the bottom sections, it's properly gnarly and the road gap is probably something i'd never even dream of hitting. :D...

Even positioned properly, it looks awful. I'm not even sure why the shifter and brake weren't following a similar path before the brake line drops down the fork. ? i get that it is now 760mm rather than 800mm but there is way too much slack in the dropper and both brakes. I'm not likely to...

I'll sort the front one out. When the bike is needing more work done i want someone with the skills to just shorten and tidy the lot, it bugs the hell out of me but i'm in no position to really made a good go at sorting it out. I blame the bike shop that built it. There's way too much slack but...

and the actual footage from being out today. *it's probably still processing the 1080p + 4k. Sucks how youtube seems to mess with the image quality.

At least you are willing to accept that there are improvements to be made. The majority of people have something new to learn you just have to be willing to do it at a pace you are comfortable with. If you have somewhere nearby that you can just play about in it could do you a world of good. If...

i always wanted one of the pink santa cruz bikes :D also the cheeky sarcastic "cheat" thrown in

This. :ROFLMAO: I'm very glad i paid someone else to do mine as there is no way i would have had the combination of time/patience when i just wanted to get out and ride the bloody thing.

i'm assuming that's 6000km ;D I've managed just shy of 1600km since mid november.

..... or do i? the 180 rs v1 came with a coil. Anyone know how different the rear linkages are? ;D I can only assume they come with a progressive spring fitted. Looks the same to me. Honestly the x2 is a brilliant air shock after adding some volume spacers but i can't get it to soak up the...

I have no real point of comparison with the tool caddy. It's fine for what i want it to do. Looks like a bigger one would fit and the zipped one would likely be more useful. I don't always have it on the bike. If i'm just going for a play around on jumps locally i'll have most of what i need in...

1230 seems to be the replacement, anything above that needs the XD driver. Should be about £80. If it is skipping in only one gear i would still recommend using the rest of it until it is more worn. Might be good to use more range of the cassette. Out of curiosity what sort of range have you...

It's a debate that will last forever. There are times where i almost crash smashing down over rooty/rocky bits where my feet break loose or going over drops where the bike just wants to disappear below me. Crashing clipped in sucks.

Just taking it off instagram as i'm a lazy bugger. Got bored and wanted to see how weird it would feel not running flats as i had the pedals sitting in the shed from my previous bike. The one thing that stood out was how much easier it felt riding with the motor off, but what's the point of...

As mentioned in a previous thread i used to get out on my bike loads from the age of 6 and did a lot of freeride/downhill style riding in my late teens into very early 20's but then didn't really even get on a bike through 21-34. The biggest hurdle i've had in trying to get any of that back is...
