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

More or less.

1.5 days till I start http://trackleaders.com/highland17

nerves turned up to 11.

You'll be fine......!

It's not like it's a fucking long way, up and down mountains and walking through tussocks!

Oh, wait a minute.......

😂😂

That looks nuts. And fun. And 'hurty' Good luck!

Good luck indeed.

Good luck @gabes

I think I want a BMX or some kind of wee rigid dirt jump bike. Something to play on the local skatepark/yet-to-be-built BMX circuit. I'm six one, six two. What should I be looking at?

Bonus points if it's on Evans as I have vouchers...

ns bikes
dmr
dobermann
commencal
plus most of the regular bike makers will do their own version of a 26"wheeled wide barred jump bike

how are people getting on with those budget 27.2. very tempted to buy for my felt :-)

Mine still works just fine. Except weirdly if I leave the bike locked up for a while on a warm day the post doesn't want to drop until I've ridden for a bit. But so far if I've remembered to drop it before leaving it it's been fine. No idea why

Anyone got that dropper link?

Gotta admit I'm kinda tempted to get one for my F-Si but then remembered I have two other bikes with droppers...

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201865036182

Both your other bikes have disc brakes and suspension too

One of them even has suspension at BOTH ends! Madness.

Good spot...

It's good for the price. If I could afford it I would upgrade to a remote but that's for another time.
I do find the crotch drop annoying. Not so much for dropping the post, but more for raising it again, standing up off the saddle, with one hand on the bars, and possibly pedalling (say trail goes suddenly uphill) is a bit sketchy.

Anyone up for some bank loliday shredz on monday? I'm working all weekend, need tyre on dirt action at some point.

Yep it's good, definitely worth it. Remote would be even better but not a deal breaker for me

Yep I'm up for something

I could be in....

Is gabes ok? His spot doesn't seem to have moved since last night about 9.40?

'Gramz says a knee injury flared up.

Bad luck @gabes :/

No! Shit luck gabes.....

Shortening cables so as not to offend @BareNecessities with my ugly bike. Can I find my bleed kit anywhere though? No. Must've lent it to someone. Now waiting for Amazon before I can ride MTB (not that it's a problem as I never ride MTB).
