Nukeproof and Hope

I went Hope. they're quite spendy though, and possibly the individual hope components are cheaper from SJS, and the replacement bearings from Merlin are two packs. Sealing on the Hope is good, and come in purple.

Also I couldn't get mine to press in straight using a press in to either the Crush or the Flaremax so had to resort to a trusty piece of wood and a hammer.

@pit 29 bikes ago.

Also was Nelson riding a reverse mullet bike?

I have only changed one bike since then.

One bike at a time?

has anyone got a sram exact actuation clutched rear mech they'd be willing to sell, prefereably something like an x01 or xx1?

@Howard

Where's your gearbox montrocity?

Under lockdown

As it should be

So I've heard

Eek, reminds me of replacing mid BBs

It's been referred to as a monster twice in the last few hours...

Unplanned of course

Maybe it's eaten Matt

I bet there's a "fishy looking bikes" match for it out there somewhere

What colour(s) you going for?

I rode BPW on a trail bike (150/140), enjoyed it. I’m buying a 150/135, which is intended on taking to the alps, when things open up.

It’s not an Enduro bike, and frankly I’m struggling a bit with where (in the UK) and Enduro bike is needed.

However- would a trail bike be suitable for racing one of the EWS courses, if/when they open again? I’d like to give it a go, but I don’t know if they’d be too rough for my bike.

Would you be riding at the speed of a pro EWS racer?

What colour(s) you going for?

All of them

People manage it on hardtails don't they? Just race one and see.

An EWS was won last year on a 150/140, so I don't think being 5mm short is going to kill you.

Plenty in Epping Forest, even seen a guy on a full DH rig with full face.

Swinley Forest must see a few enduro bikes

The cannondale is going to be pretty redundant hey. And after all its use it mustn't be worth much by now. I can take it off you as a favour

Probably faster without all that sponsorship weighing me down.

Selling for any more than £300 would be taking the piss

My thinking exactly

Probably damaged the swingarm on that manual machine, so you'd be doing him a favour
