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

You can hire T130s at Swinley

Doesn't Canyon do some weird proprietary choices around headsets and crank bearings? Or am I just misinterpreting/misremembering strange forum threads?

Anyone?

240km and 6000 meters climbing

Why not?

Swinley looks like a good place to try things out - and I can get the kids involved, too.

Their website is suggesting they only have the Whyte in small and xs, which won't suit me but I'd be happy to spin round on the Marin.

Think I will plan a day trip.

Climbing loaded off road into a headwind > riding a road bike

So I'm basically a beginner.

@ChasnotRobert dooo it

just round the corner from me!

tempting - will see if I can borrow a bike for that.

There's a rental place in Epping!

Can anyone help @Hulsroy out with his hunt for a big frame?

*Still not as bad as cheap Contis

Nothing is as bad as cheap contis. Any tyre wrapped with an oil-soaked bin liner would perform better.

what Sunday Echappee thingy?

This looks quite bargainous,

Anyone got one?

Tempted to buy one as a spare as I think the cartridge in my Thomson is going again.

Trails in South Wales are going off. Scared myself shitless many times over the past few days. New steep scary stuff popping up all over the place.

2nd hand dropper posts? Bit of a roulette option? Yay or nay?

Deja vu!

Sorry, should have searched.

Can't find anyone selling the gas cartridge which - given how my Thomson has been - is what I imagine will go wrong.

The whole KS post is cheaper than a cartridge replacement on the Thomson!

^^^^^ back in stock @TM

I've bought the 31.6 one from these guys:

Lever is not the same as pictured, instead the usual KS one as shown here (also it's branded KS Lev, not ExaForm):

Think these will be fine shimmed to 30.9? All the equivalents are near £100 which is strange.

2nd hand options too risky? Just checking.....
