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

Come up to the Peak District and I'll throw a sicky...

@IR @branwen PM'D

Peak District yes please but not tomorrow!

You can read the case summary here

Anyone got a 19" hardtail around £500 for sells? My brother in law's on the lookout.

I have a project for £40 (plu P&P) on pinkbike, definately not ready to go but you could spend the rest of the budget on a decent fork, wheels, drivetrain etc...

You can buy new for that if you don't mind an 'uncool' brand like Vitus, Calibre and whatnot

Canyon might do something for £500 maybe On One too...

My Vitus was £250 and is great fun. Either save some money or spend the remainder on some squidgy forks.

Dented Niner chainstay with heel turning around a zillion times. Bike was built for not caring what happens in mud etc. I really care. Bollocks.

Anyone interested in an old Light & Motion Hid Arc setup? Decided to replace it with something with a longer run time. PM me for details, or I'll start a sales thread in a day or two.

Probably looking for about £45

U-Turn coil kits are apparently ridiculously expensive, so I'm buying a different Lyrik.

Will have my Lyrik RC2L with Solo Air up for sells instead. 160mm travel, set at 150, 1 1/8" steerer (~185mm), Mission Control damper, stanchions perfect, lowers and crown a bit tatty. Could probably do with an oil change but it works lovely.

£150 takes it

wait till black friday and splash some cash?

First ride-

Dialled Bikes prince Albert 853
LSX/XT 2x10 Drive train
Hope Mono Mini Brakes
Superstar 26" wheels, tubeless.
Rockshocks revelation set at 5"

Seems a lot more stable uphill than the old 456, nice an nimble down the single track. Feels a lot lighter than the 456 but only about a pound and a half in it. It likes air on the down hills

First impressions, Pure grin!

sell you my salsa el mariachi frame and forks for less than half that

Size is medium

Only selling because my Jones arrived far sooner than expected

Happy to deal/haggles

Ok, I'll give you £50 for the Jones?

:)

Bontrager XR4 - 2.35 front and back, or 2.2 on the rear?

Less grip and drag on the back isn't bad but then nor is more cushion. Eithers probably good

Anyone got a half decent suss fork they'd like to sell me? I'm not loaded but I want to get my dale out in the woods and I'm not so comfy with the idea of full rigid :s

Lovely little 'dale though!

Race you to the cafe!

(This would be ace)

Thetford is pretty flat but what gear ratio is a safe bet if it's muddy, etc? I have 40x17 on now which is ok for me pushing the fat tyres on road but knobbies in dirt? No idea. Should I fit a 36T up front? 32T?

Oh, this is for 3hr race, not pootling around. Although I may just be pootling around if it all goes wrong :)
