• Really?
    I ride in and around that valley Risca/Machen/Cwmcarn most weeks year round. Mix of hardtail and full sus throughout the winter and never noticed it to be that hard wearing. But perhaps that’s as I lived next to Woburn for a couple of years which truly ate drive trains in wet weather

  • Honestly, one ride and both the bikes were trashed. We'd done a few days at Coed y Brenin earlier in the same week, also very wet. No such problems there.

  • I guess Afan & Coed are both far rockier with a fair bit of the trails where you’re riding on bedrock so less gritty grime sprays up.

    I’ve certainly become fair better with cleaning, degreasing and lubing after each ride since being here
