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

I'm probably going for a medium frame for my nephew now so will have a brand new in box San Quentin 3 Frame in size Small going for sale soon, less than RRP

On rigid or hardtail yes, on full sus you have something else to soak up the chatter ;)

I could do with something to soak up chatter on rides...

Hills, you need steep hills for that.

Steep downhills, so you're too scared to talk?

;-)

Cheers. The NS looks pretty good value (and some ace paint jobs!). Kind of wanted to avoid another project though as I’m super short on time.

Exceptional gravel bike, very happy with it so far.
Think the rebas are broken. They've been making a cling sound on rebound at the top. I did full service and they still do that. They don't go through full travel either.

Very nice. I've probably missed pages of comments here, but what is it?

Otherwise known as NS Synonym.

They don't go through full travel either.

Tried putting less air in? Jokes aside, it's probably the port that's blocked on the air spring side its a common fault with Rockshox. It's what happened to my revelation.

Bike looks nice BTW.

Thanks, I'll strip the air spring down and give it a good clean. Hopefully it'll fix it.

When working out axle to crown length and sag etc.

If my fork is 534mm a to c, with 140mm travel, do I subtract the 30% sag from the 140mm of travel or from the total length of the fork?

Got a recon RL I'm mayyybe looking to swap out with the Selcof Carbon fork for longer rides which has an a to c of 500mm.

From the 140mm of travel.

thumbs up, thank you

Seems relevant to this thread: Anyone know much about the olympic park off-road trail? I never usually go out that way but have been riding round on hackney marshes on my State-Sanctioned Daily Unit of Exercise during less busy times of day and saw the entrance to the trail and was more than a little tempted to have a nip round it. Never got round to trying it in the pre-covid days and I didn't realise it would be so easy to get onto without having to go through any barriers etc. Do many people just go up and use it without paying when it's closed?

You might find it's full of mum, dad and sprog moving obstacles.

It's not too awful mostly though, although I could imagine binning it there could be quite sudden and painful.

hey! new to the thread (love it already)

Give it time. :-D

Sonder Transmitter for ultimate bang for your buck progressive geo hardtail.

But the Scout is a great bike.

Edited. thx BN.

Great auto correct

In related news, I recently discovered the definition of the word Sonder.

Noun. sonder (uncountable) (neologism) The profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passed in the street, has a life as complex as one's own, which they are constantly living despite one's personal lack of awareness of it.

Which is nice

The new Sonder Sendier. Better than the Canyon Sender.

For a moment there, I almost considered that other people had feelings

I'm over it now

We can see you've spent a lot of time with Matt.
