Has it landed yet?

If so, thoughts?

Landed super quick. Seems legit. Not ridden on it yet, but seems to drop and rise smoothly, and locks at any height. For the price seems like a no-brainer, probably why @Howard recommend it for me

Heck it, ordered.

I’m going to Windhill sometime between the 16th- 23rd if anyone would like to join.
No specific date yet but if there’s interest I’ll share more info when it’s sorted.

What did you ride there? Blade at Glyncorrwg and Penhydd at Afan are the trails I have the most fun on these days.

Root Manoeuvres at Bike Park Wales is now the best trail in the park. By far the most technical, raw red trail.
It'll make a storming enduro stage for any future events.

this is a random question but does anybody know where this pic comes from?

have it saved on my hard drive from way back and can't remember who, or where, or how, but it looks like a fun adventure all round. nice krampus (?) build too

South Downs Way I bet

with that amount of blue sky, you must be kidding

it's gonna be south of latitude 43

I know that Krampus

On the left on the Krampus is Pete aka Dear Susan and on the right is Stuart from BikeFix, don't know who the guy in the middle is and couldn't find out when or where this was.

Stuart from BikeFix

aha!!! knew I recognised him from somewhere. cheers!

A rock lobster for all seasons (readers wives)

SUNDAY 17th DEC

My last Epping ride of the year - a long leisurely loop from peckham 9ish, nice ride, and back home.

all welcome (I promise I won't change the date this time)

What time will you be getting there?

probably around 11 to 11:30, then will stay until 3ish

Tyre chat, what are people using? I want the 29er equivalent of a GP4000s

Maxxis ardent, decent all rounder. Or high roller 2 on the front with an ardent on the rear for a bit more bite in the mud.

Nobby nicks for winter bit ott front and rear but I may put a rocket Ron on the rear

Almost anything, but never the shitty cheap version.

Nics and Ardents have both been good all-rounders, in my experience.

Maxxis Minion DHF WT and Aggressor rear. Use that for everything right now though I feel I need some super fucking mud tyre with two inch knobs on the rear for Clyne.

last reminder - EPPING this sunday: 9am peckham -> 11:30 till 3 epping -> 5pm return peckham

all welcome!!!

If I can make it I will
