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

That's just ridiculous

Seems like it would be as effective as using Magura brakes

Santa Cruz = February next year.

Get a Bird

When my grandad was ill we put lard on his back, he went down hill quickly after that.

Talking of rotors, is 203mm F&R excessive?
XT 4 pots both ends.

Better to have it and hope you never need it, than to not have it and need it.

There is cross compatibility across Rockshox' 35mm

Right well @Dammit getting another Lyrik or Pike and a C̶o̶t̶i̶c̶ Pace gets my vote then

Edit - Just seen what the Pace 529 looks like. Much nicer than the Cotic. Get the matchy match Pace.

Stooge Scrambler gets my vote

Talking of rotors, is 203mm F&R excessive?

No. I run 200 front and rear on all my mountain bikes.
Weight difference from 180 is less than 50 grams!

I actually run a 220mm rotor on the front on a 27.5 nomad. Not all forks are rated to take more than 203 though.

I ordered the Helm, what sold it was the adjustability (which of course I may never use) which means that I could run it at 130mm with Hans Dampf/Rocket Ron wheels, or 150mm with DHF II's, or indeed at 160mm with a 27.5 rear wheel for full on Harley impersonation duties.

Also, the RC529 is in stock right now, whereas the Santa Cruz would be February.

Now, I still need a hardtail for the Mrs. 27.5 wheels, 120ish fork - suggestions for something I could actually order and receive this side of November?

160mm on a hardtail is a bit daft imo

for full on Harley impersonation duties.

I'm assuming that the head angle stated on the site is with a 150mm fork, so running it at 130mm should steepen things up somewhat.

Geometry is shown with a 150mm fork unsagged.

160mm on a hardtail is a bit daft imo

Yeah, unless it was super slack. BTR do a DH hard tail though 🤷‍♂️

I hesitate to use the words 'just get' as I feel they're heavily overused on here, but just get an Isen GOAT already

behold the future
looks quite fun, drifting your mtb

I'll be leading future badger rides on this

I can’t stress this in strong enough terms: want.

I could carry so much cake on that

It would make doing my food shop so much more fun down Putney high street

Up to 220kg of sourdough!

You're halfway there.

Also I'd be careful riding that round in deer mating season, look at those sexy antlers.
