@Jay75 mentioned it. But if I get rid of it what will I race my 24hr solo on? :)

If you sell it, you won't have to do a 24hr solo race

haha no it'll just mean I buy something else stupid or I race on the gravel bike (do MTB races prevent the use of aerobars? haha)

Maybe start a thread about what bike to get for it

Or buy whatever bike @pit is selling that week

Not a bad plan. Just finished this, will prolly sell in 1000km.

Perfect 24hr bike

SNAP! 💜

Forks are on backwards etc.

dibs

£2.50

Reduce, reuse, recycle.

Also, if I ride a piece of shit, I'll get to use that piece of shit as the excuse for being shit.

Sold. Will deliver in 2050.

What's wrong with being fat and old like the rest of us

The older I get, the faster I was...

I have a smith mainline and matching smith goggles and very much like them both. In fact I’m on my second mainline, which brings me on to the fact that since brexit smith no longer offer crash replacement in the UK if that swings your decision. If you do end up doing some uplift days 99% of people will be wearing a full face of some description so you won’t feel like you’re over protected.

Balls. Wish I'd known that before buying one of their lids this week

Who does do crash replacement on helmets?

Second dibs. Is an xl or xxl?

This is the only full sus bike that could convince me to go 29er

Giro do but I think there only full face option is the one with the removable chin guard

It's not for sale. @BareNecessities look what you've done.

Haha yeah I guessed. Just wondering which of the sizes you went for?

Has anyone here been to Lake Garda and can share some good routes? All the trails I looked at seem to be either really steep and rocky or old military roads..

I think Troy lee do a crash discount.
Can echo what Dry said. Don’t worry about how you look wearing helmet and armour etc.
I pretty much always wear upper body armour when uplift riding. It just gives an extra bit of confidence for me. Riding dh at speed with just a full facer and a t-shirt always feels really sketchy.
I’ve omitted upper armour on really hot days and regretted it a few times.

XXL. Santa Cruz bikes come small, or so I've read on mtbr. Could have gone with XL and that would be fine too. I'm only 6'3".
Also Stif had a 1k discount on these frames so that made the decision much easier.

Sup troops!

Looking for a good Lake District mountain bike loop that isn't Skiddaw, Hellvelyn or The Bash....any must dos?

Don't particularly fancy Whinlatter.
