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

I've got the cheap nylon ones, neutron or something. Also great. Sometimes when stationary, I can lift the pedal to get ready to set off without putting a foot under the pedal because they're so stuck to my soles

My clipless pedals do that too

Can't do tailwhips with clipless though

Anyone after some cheap 12 speed shimano (microspline) boost wheels, come with CL rotors and XC tyres? £100 collected. They are Bontrager Kovee something ..

29? 27.5?

29!

What hubs? They do a QR boost 141 version that's a bit niche.

For those who have bought from YT what’s their delivery time like when the bike is showing as in stock?

Will check tomorrow

I believe YT are having some supply chain issues at the moment from what I've seen online... I didn't buy direct as I bought a used frame and built my own but there are lots of YT groups on Facebook where they'll have the up to date delivery times.

Hmm, having taken a look on Facebook I might be having to go through my credit card company for a refund, looks like YT are having a meltdown, not responding to any form of communication and not shipping bikes.

Shame DMR turned out to have Harold Shipman levels of customer service or I'd have ordered from them.

Bars; Carbon specifically. What’s go to these days?

Accidentally sold my current Next SL flat bars on a auto renewing eBay ad. Forgot I listed some months ago...

The Hope bars have a pretty weave. But what I think I actually want functionally is the Next 10mm rise bars.

Yes, I spoke to them this morning, they’re sending over a quote as I type this. Quite a bit more than the Dirt Love, but they reliably answer the phone and that’s worth a lot. Question is, is it worth £2,400.

I wonder if they’d do a British Cycling discount if I asked them?

Question is, is it worth £2,400.

Given that the financial risk to me is zero, I'm gonna say yes.

They may just do you a discount if you ask them.
I got my nephew's Chameleon off them with a 20% discount although I'm "in the industry"

A grand on a dirt jump bike was a bit silly, but £2.4k is bonkers.

A grand on a pump track bike was a bit silly, but £2.4k is bonkers.

It seems a lot.

I missed out on this conversation but surely the appropriate buyer pump track bike is a Chromag Monk?

A couple of sub £1k offerings

Canyon Stiched 360

GT Labomba Pro

Man I want a jump bike now
