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

Couldn't he just spin the post round?

Watch the video at 6 minutes 20 seconds

Listen, it’s money well spent and no one can tell me otherwise!

Tbf the way the battery mounts into axs bits does seem a bit flimsy, but I’ve yet to have one eject mid ride or in a crash.
But I have seen pros duct tape the battery in place on derailleurs.

Hardtail frame recommendations?

Fancy building something up for my local trails (read XC, some tracks). Santa Cruz chameleon worth it? Or nukeproof, on one, bird , orange etc

santacruzbikes chameleon are ridiculously expensive, i doubt that one could tell the difference between one and a halfords bizango

Top trolling.

I guess it will be, like 2.5K for a bike with a Recon and low end groupset? The bizango is great and is £750

been very happy with my On-One Scandal. But I know nothing about mountain bikes.

LOL

if you have no idea what frame might be good for you, a voodoo bizango is a good choice

Does anyone have a nice 30-40km Ladybower/Hope Valley loop?

Also I probably don't have time for a 45 minute drive each way to head to Wharncliffe or Greno, is there anywhere to the west of Sheffield where I can have a play/lap for a couple of hours?

Jon Dennis might know, though tagging @ Jon. doesn't appear to work

Maybe if I mention SSCX he will appear....

Is a Bizango even available frame only?

sell the bits if you don't need them, idk

Whereabouts will you be based? I can sketch up something round Blacka or Hope/Ladybower.

Bradwell

LOL

The guy asked for a frame, Big Halfrauds comes in hard....

Have a look at 'hardtail party' on Youtube, this guy reviewed loads of hardtails

This is the type of trolling I need haha. Yes, would much rather spend my money on wheels and fork.

I was just in Great Hucklow for a week. Not MTB based but the chippy in Tideswell's well worth a visit. And Stella's Kitchen.

his current MTB is a 29-year old Specialized, this will be a big upgrade :)

Great Hucklow even sounds rad!

It's not. The Well Dressing was distinctly Platty Jubes and the brewery isn't open to the public. Campsite is top notch tho

No Great Hucks to flat then? Platty Jubes should be the name of a trail
