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

I brought some extra tools as I didn't completely trust my wrenching skills so I wanted to be able to do some roadside fixes. But even chock-full it held perfectly over bumpy terrain!

That’s mad!

I’m gonna make myself a taller bmx-oriented tool roll, to fit wrenches and a mini hammer (just because). Will post about it when it’s done. Probably won’t suit under the saddle, but I’ll certainly try!

Unit looks great!

I've heard many good reports from people using Cushcore. None of them fitted it themselves though. I just use two Huck Norris in the back wheel, as per Yoan Barelli.

Looking for a bit of feedback. Anyone used a chain tug with a mech hanger to convert a horizontal dropout SS frame (on one inbred in his case) into a geared bike?
Worth doing? What are the downsides?

Cheers

Does any one have any 38/40mm rise bars hanging round gathering dust?

Nice interview with Dan Stanton on their future of UK manufacture.

Open face helmet with goggles. Discuss.

Winter is coming.

Dropper on and stem changed out.

What a whip! Nice a bad view either.

Special new year offer, as I have bills to pay - my 650b (also 26"), non-boost Manitou Mattoc Pro 2 (ie the best and best value middleweight fork on the market and if you disagree I will fight u) at the low, low price of £250.

Replace your disappointing stock fork today!

AKA - Full Enduro. Perfectly acceptable if you're an enduro shredder.

Brian Lopes 4X Pisspot/Goggles combo always a winner too

Would an LFGSS mountain bike trip be something people would be interested in later in the year?

Maybe somewhere in Europe for bikepark/ enduro type goings on?

What about Epping shredder?

No. Just no.

I’d be up for it if finances weren’t as they are. Need to sort a new hardtail (or go gravelbike) and save for a bike tour to France or Germany in the Spring. That’s gonna kill what little I have to spare.

Wouldn't rule out a UK based venture either if that's what people were up for?
We did a weekend in North Wales two years ago and it was great! Revolution and Antur Stiniog are both great spots!

Sick jacket. Much more me

You're media brainwashed my friend. I forsee it being the future.

What a baller. Jacket, do want.

Oh! On that topic does anyone have any older school (80’s/90’s) winter-ish cycle jackets? Not sure if anyone has seen the Cannondale I got cheap off ebay but super warm and getting way too much use. Need to get another one or two of similar warmth/weather resistance. Louder the better.

None of my road jackets are as awesome as this one...

MTB must have been the new skiing back then

I'd be up for something if my skill level raises from yellow tag to at least yellow belt this year (you get yellow tag when you buy a bike).

Currently 2019 MTB options will be:

1. service bike, do jump skills course, try and ride at least every 2 months
   
2. service bike, make it worse, get fucked off, sell bike, never ride again
