Another shot of the Burnside Forge for @M_V

I do like this bike. Looks great fun.

More more more on the Sycip please? Never even heard of them!

That image was lifted from the MTBR forum, where where I'm afraid the only accompanying info was "29er"

Sycip

They do make some nice stuff.

They do make some nice stuff.

They also made this.....

Just looks like so much fun.

Got my Kris Holm laced up over the weekend but failed at trying to fit the Knard sans tube today.

I presume the tyre has been at the bottom of a big pile as it likes to sit very flat ie with the beads together and a fold in the centre of the tread.

I'm hoping that once it's been inflated and ridden for a week or two that it'll hold it's shape a bit more and thus will seat more easily.

Looking good!

Nice! Still running those bars at full width?

Yup. Feels ace but am a bit worried I might find I don't fit between some trees!

Don't suppose the picture in the bike rack was taken at the UEA in Norwich?

I tubelessed up my Knards (fnar) on Rabbit Holes using one layer of 50mm wide electrical tape, then the Surly strip, then a split tube, then lots of goo and a compressor. I'm not sure what the electrical tape does, but omitting it resulted in a tyre that wouldn't hold air overnight.

My Cannondale in SS mode. Personally, I not overly enamoured with single-speed on MTBs. If you have to cycle to the off-road bits you end up spinning like a motherfucker, and getting nowhere. I was 32x18, but then added 34x16 dingle-speed, which improved things a bit.
