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

Glad you’re all not red bull rampage level riders so I won’t feel like an idiot when I finally finish my bike and come for a ride

:)

Basically I can’t ride mtb for shit but had fun!

Sounds familiar. I'm still not sure I ever actually 'have fun' riding MTB though.
I think I just like the bikes.

Did Dusk til Dawn there a number of years back. My first ever night ride... probably a stupid idea to make it a race. Predictably I sucked, but luckily so did the rest of my team.

What’s the mtb equivalent of NJS?

Period correct 80s restos?

Anything purple and anodized from the past.

I did that race once. Never been so cold. Like, body-shutting-down cold.

I think I'm the opposite then! No interest in the bikes, but enjoyed being out in the countryside.

I like being in the countryside too... on a road... clean... at 30kph... with a quiet bike... and a functional spine :)

Rained for the 2nd half of the race for us. I sacked it off after my third stint, ate a stack of bacon butties and a gallon of tea and slept in the boot of my car for a couple of hours.

I prefer being out in the countryside, not having people in cars try to murder me.

Don’t worry, if they did you have a 1 in 6 chance they get a (suspended) jail sentence.

Wonder why they spec’d cable discs🤔

So they could spec Paul Klampers?

Technogrouchery or riding in the frozen north.

Technogrouchery

It does have a rigid fork

Is this allowed? Just put this frame and forks up for sale, Mods please remove if not ok,

Thanks

Dat rain earlier. Cycled the Marin something like an hour and a half getting soaked to the bone. Another half hour after one of the errands it stopped so that was a bonus.

During the storm I had to take a country road and it was flooded almost entirely just like my shoes, gloves jersey and shorts. Those Barzo’s didn’t let me down for a second. The usually loose gravel path on the way back was also nicely...dampened so there was ultra grip on the cornering there too.

10/10 would bomb around in the rain again.

Popped up a meet thread about the bike shop/dungeon/trails around Swindon.

Appears it clashes with another meet, but need to confirm date today anyway, might be the following weekend:

Will going from 23mm internal to 25mm internal make any noticeable difference to the amount of tyre squirm im getting with a 2.35”?

Seems a bit of a small change. Light bicycle 30mm internals?

wanna buy my carbon 30mm internal rims?
edit. probably not bcos they're 29 not 27.5

Oh yeah?
