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

Not for me, kthx.

We’ll get a list going. There almost every day after work whilst the weather is like this.

So everyone is just crashing at Fort William this year...

Everyone's pushing it like they thought they could from prior performances but forgot how unforgiving the place is, especially in the wet.

Just up the road from me. Love the work of this lot

I'd like to watch the top 10 riders highlights from Fort William, but want to avoid spoilers. Anyone got a link to youtube or whatever? Much obliged...

I have two train tickets to Canterbury that I can’t use, they expire on Wednesday, any slackers want these to do a midweek North Downs ride, please get in touch.

These cranks on ebay are pretty swag

I am selling these Five Ten hellcat pro's if anyone is interested. Brand new. Size UK 9. £50.

It's an awesome place, yeah. They worked hard building those trails.

Thoughts?

Appears to have triple bosses on the downtube but no dropper capabilities. Skimming through comments on their Insta they are saying they will swap the 27.2 seat tube for 30.9/31.6 if requested.

looks like a great, sorted bike.
ticks lots of boxes for me as a bike that can do fun day rides but also longer bikepacking trips
buy one!

Hi. I assume these are SPD compatible rather than for flat pedals? Cheers.

I might just do that.

Emailed them to confirm a couple of things. They're working on a different version of the frame with a 31.6mm seat tube and internal dropper routing. The current one has external routing on the underside of the top tube.

They replied in <15 minutes too.

Those Nordest do look good. I quite fancy the Sardinha following @platypus previous link. Although they are a bit low for my liking. I would also like to see some real world reviews on ride quality as to how refined v how gas-pipey the ride is. Frames seem to be slightly on the heavy side. Geo looks good though.

@yetidamo looks like they take spd's but can also be used with flats.

"Stealth" ... !!!

Ah OK. That's as I thought. I am well endowed with spd-able mtb shoes, would have been very keen if they were for flats only. GLWS, great shoes!

They look nice and as @platypus said are very versatile. But a bit pricey for a 4130. Genesis were selling full framesets with carbon forks and a headset for the same price.

I'm waiting for the new inbred from on one. Ti version will retail at 6-700 pounds.

Inclined to agree. It's kinda like a Stanton Switch 9er but with bottle mounts and in pig-iron. Dropper incompatible seat tube is unforgivable for a bike that's supposed to go down hill fast.

That said it looks bangin
