Ideally find someone who's done it before to hand hold you through a couple, it's not a hard job usually but does sometimes need a bit of thought

Ah right, excellent point. Should be a few about from people who had theirs replaced.

Never said it wouldn't matey. From what I can see it should, my 22 and 23 frame are the same and even the 24 linkage is backwards compatible with 22-23 so can't think of a reason it wouldn't. My comment was more about not needing more fork. He was running the Marz Z1 which is the cheapo job.

I'd have binned that 3 months ago

He had to work hard to stay with the lad. Brilliant to get the footage though as he's one of the coaches so was great for analysing

Crembz, see my recent video on the Vids thread, that was my lad riding the Orbea last night. Setting the 2nd fastest time of the evening and beating some super fast racer, standard bike and suspension was set to my 90+kg weight not his 63kg. The bike is honestly perfectly capable straight out of...

Any Shimano dealer, but they're likely to charge you for it. I was out with Katy last night and she was on her E161, she was absolutely flying on it ! Rapido !

This was the boy last night on my Rise https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8vBcgfMadk/?igsh=YjhkemR4bWp0NjY1

I so wanted it, because it matches my Status 160.

It's an insanely good price honestly. My boys coach is Katy Curd and she absolutely loves the E161 and raves about it... It's a brilliant bike apparently. I've not had a chance to ride hers and in truth it'd be too small. But if i were looking for a decently priced bike, it'd be WAY at the top...

essentially yes. You can let the air out slowly with a few up/down squishing to equalise the pressure. You'll need a valve core removal tool to remove/install.

I say no on them... the Straps are in completely the wrong place, weirdest fit ever... Which is a shame as the helmet itself is really comfortable.

Well i rode and survived Black Powder, although for whatever reason we went a slightly different way at one stage and didn't do this drop. We went over the bridge instead. Possibly because of the race track tape that was up for the National DH or maybe because my riding mate took sympathy on me...

14kg Enduro, it's not 2002 any more. Enduros are 17+ now :)

The spacers are just aesthetic and can be replaced with round ones if you like, well on the 23 anyway, but yours may have the knock-block headset ? Ummmmm

Yeah we've done the Passportes multiple times :)

Yeah one of our days out is planned from Les Gets down to Samoens, then get Mrs Weeksy to pick us up and bring back in the van.

I'd love some more info on 'routes' people have that are less than Black, you know, an average Enduro UK race trail, bit of tech, bit of flow, lots of fun... I've got several in mind, but more is always better. I'll be on the manual bike, but don't let that put you off any ideas on trails

I started off with 'mine' so don't need to clarify later. I also didn't need to qualify it with what anyone else does or doesn't do, because I was clearly talking about my rides. I'm not looking to put anyone down or throw accusations about how anyone else rides, hence using 'mine' Tonight I did...
