  • Sorry, just seen this....let me know if it will be surplus to your requirements!

  • Ryde trace endure rims are pretty wide internally as well. Not heavy either.

  • Cheers, checked those out but not sure on them.....

  • Yeah it is. Think I'm going to stick with regular tyres for the rest of the year/coming winter. I'll go dig it out later and check if I still have the 3" tube too.

  • Cheers fella!

  • Somebody buy my KH rims pls, will do sweet deal.

  • Saddle fixed. Need wider (and probably riser) bars. Already fallen off.

  • Let's try again.

    Also, anyone for some monkey nuts going spare? £17 seems a bit rich.

  • Ffs. No pics it is.

  • I done a search on the KH29 and thought perhaps you were selling arms on the open market.

    By the way, how did your Surrey Hills demo day go? What trails and bikes did you do?

  • Cash flow issues mean the plan for a Krampus is out the window and I'm restricted to CTW.

    Have missed all the longitudes so looking xc 29ers including superfly and scales.

    Any other suggestions?

    Only looking to for something that can go where my cx bike struggles, nothing more extreme.

    Other option could be wait for the new 27+ cooker.

  • Wait till October for the new trek stache 29+....the base level is the the most desirable too, IMHO, as it has a carbon rigid fork, as opposed to a manitou bouncy one....£1300.
    I'm waiting to try one :0)

  • I've recently took purchase of a trek superfly 6 2015 and it's a great bike for the money! I paid £1000 new.

  • Not arms but rims strong enough to survive an attack :)

    I only really ended up going around swinley on a santacruz tallboy C s as there were a couple of non bike related hiccups. But I really enjoyed the the weekend, can't wait to go further afield on a bike that I own.

  • Anyone got any experience with Stanton Bikes? Just came across them and there doesn't seem to be a massive amount of general chat about the compared to say on-one and the like.

  • Similar approach to Cotic in that it's one chap - Mr Dan Stanton - designing the frames he thinks 'work'.

    Here's my Slackline Ti hardtail about to mix it up on a black run in the Alps. Note the burlyness of the trail guidians' steeds. You can see what Mr. Stanton was aiming for, but in hardtail form.

  • Very nice bit of kit. It was the Slackline in reynolds 631 that caught my eye. At 192 notes plus VAT it looks decent bang for buck.

  • Yeah that's a good price. If you don't mind being off-trend and on 26" life is bargainous.

    That frame + SLX + Hope / Stans Arch / Schwalbe + RS Revelation = UK trail destroyer

    I went for the Pikes - fork > myskillz

  • My wallet means a lot to me. Also, bikes like the Slackline look more in proportion IMO in 26er format.

  • You've got Flow Ex on yours, you big fatty.

    "steeds"

    Oh no you didn't......

  • You've got Flow Ex on yours, you big fatty.

    Yeah I'm somewhat overwheeled / underbraked / overforked.

    I'd go for Arch, Tech e4s and a Rev or Lefty Supermax if I did it again

  • Glad to see you're maintaining standards on the hydration/spares carriage!

  • It's all about the mission workshop trail slayer backpack bro

  • I've got a steel slackline in 853. It's a bomber bike that loves it the burlier & rowdier it gets, trail wise. It'll handle anything one might have the balls for, far beyond what I could push it to.
    Swapped out my Sektors recently for longer travel in a Lyrik so have taken the frame to the maximum the frame will handle and it rides even better than ever, even on more pedally cross-crountry stuff.

    The only problem I saw with them was the tyre clearance, getting a genuine 2.4 tyre in the dropouts can be a problem in winter. Don't know if that has been sorted now.
