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

My 1x1 always felt a little nicer than my Troll even with the same wheelset/tyre combo. Probably all in my head though.

Would be good to see you!

Anybody after a Cane Creek Thurdbuster LT? 30.9mm, Blue/Black elastomers (apparently ideal for 90-100kg. I'm 70 or so and I never felt it was overly rigid).

Will get some pics up in a bit, few scratches from insertion but otherwise good condition. £60, pickup from SE15.

Finally managed to get my bike in the shop for the upgrades, definitely need some new pedals!

Saw this the other day:

Yikes

If you look hard enough you can find busted axles from all the major crank manufacturers.

True, I only posted as this happened to a friend the other day.

I blame all the wanky laser etching hope put all over their stuff. Wish they'd do a stealth line of products.

Best video I've seen since his "one shot" a few years back. Mad skills.

Saw this the other day. Ridiculous skills.

Rad

Aside from the footplant backflip and the whip to no foot can can, that is pure style. Nose manual up the transition kills it.

I once hopped one of those huge square speed bumps and managed to manual down the back slope of it, I'd image it looked basically the same to passers by.

I dunno where to put this one so I'm just gonna dump it here.

Anyone looking for a Cotic Soul (Small) unpainted? Send me a PM.

Crosspost from Mini-pump thread: Which portable HVLP pump should I get for my MTB?
I have had this before, but should I look at others?

Um. The same one. Again. :)

The Topeak Turbo Morph comes very highly recommended by @TomvanHalen ..

Ok. Easy then.

@BareNecessities this one?

That isn't specifally for high volume.

Pete's turbo morph hasn't failed me yet.

It doesn't specifically state it's HV, but it is. It's an evolution of the mountain morph, and distinct from the road morph.

That's it. It's this one but with a handy gauge.

Has done my 29er tyres for years, without unnecessary effort :-)

I had one of those (but with a gauge) in my back pocket Sunday. It's my go to pump for Cross/mtb

Thanks for that. I'll try the Morph.

My front tyre is about to die so I am looking to replace it with something bigger as my Salsa First starter forks allows for it. I am currently running 2.35" WTB Broncos. Any suggestions for a 29" x 2.4-2.6" folding front tyre? If anybody has anything second hand I am very interested.

Maaxis Ardent 2.4 , great all-rounder

Would anyone be interested in my Thomson 27.2 dropper?

It's currently set up with an underseat lever as made by Yetiman but would also come with all the stuff to run the remote lever too ie, the lever, cable guide, inline barrel adjuster, etc. I think I have an inner cable, not so sure about outer.

You could also have the bar end I chopped down to change the angle of the lever.

It's been used but is in good condition, there's a little rotational play and when fully extended it has some up and down play but this disappears once it's dropped even 1mm. The lettering at the bottom of the shaft has gone slightly brown from running it in steel frames but there are no scratches or gouges on the post at all.

I reckon it'd fetch £200 on ebay but would do it here for £150 inc postage (I'm in Glasgow) and paypal fees.

Anyone fancy swinley on friday? Ages since I've been.
