Let's offroad / mountain bike / mtb / ride dirt

So basically...Nicolai goes back to making Nicolai shocker....

I did one of those funny hop over the bars as the bike goes down thingies there.

And clipless'd myself riding back up

Yea fun timez

If anyone ever sees a small Ragley Marley for sells, that's where I'm at.

I like my specialized 2FOs.

The Marley looks very nice...but I heard there was a problem with derailleurs.

They keep on jammin'.

What a fantastically shit piece of cultural appropriation.

Don't hold back

27.5....

I never do.

We could have fun with this though, and send them suggestions for future models.

It all kicked off when I went to pick up my limited edition "Jimmy Cliff" with the six dollar wheels.

Can some one recommend a MB for me please. Circa £500, thinking hardtail, rigid forks and single speed- its primarily going to be used on the South Downs as training for TD, so doesn't matter if its a bit heavy. Guess I'm better off looking a second hand, but I don't have a clue when it comes to non road bikes.

This would be fun. Certainly won't be light.

Looks perfect ta

Bullocks should have said, I'm after a 29er

Vitus Dee 29 city bike, plus change of tyres?

The 27.5 plus tyres make the circumference 29er equivalent, if that makes any difference.

Anyone after a brakeset?

I have a pair of SRAM Guide Rs going spare. New, unused.

Please take some time and fill this out.

Done & shared.

Completed. Not sure what the correct answer was, other than yes I'm happy to do volunteer advocacy + trailbuilding.

Got one myself and it's awesome, but it's fully rigid.

Same here. I also want open access to footpaths, or no differentiation for rights of way, as it is in Scotland and a lot of other places.

Also, no electric bikes on rights of way.

This is a tricky one. Some times I think it is important that walkers can use a path that they know wont have riders flying down. Around lots of the North Downs there are plenty of bike friendly trails but so many riders, it's important that people can get away from us. However some paths would be ideal "up only" routes, i.e., don't come flying down at breakneck speed but feel free to chug up it. Very difficult to put in place though so my feelings on the whole subject are very mixed.

Why?

Yeah, me too.

Why?

Battery and motor tech is moving on so fast you might as well allow scooters / motorcross bikes. You could try to impose some kind of speed restriction but then...enforcement.

Totally agree.

All the trails near me are kind multi use. But those closer to built up areas will have Walkers. People should definitely be allowed to og for a walk in relative Peace and safety. I either ride With care. Or travel away from the popular hiking spots.

This is where off-road strava segments can be fucking stupid.
