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

Sure did. Have to wear platforms but its spot on now.

Did they pop some air in your tyres too?

After all that chatter about 30mm threaded BBs on Dammit's thread...

Does anyone need/want a new and unused RaceFace threaded BSA 30mm BB?

Came with a chainset I bought but my frame is pressfit so I’ll never need it.

Lake shoe wearers- are they wider along the whole foot and heel, or just wider in the toe box? I have slender heels and ankles but quite wide toes not helped by wearing vivo shoes a lot that are wide in the toe

Email lake, I've always found them very helpful.

You can mould some of their shoes, compressing the carbon in the heal area.

Wider overall, they also do a wide version which is super wide, which is what I use in 42.5 and I used to use a 45 'narrow' shoe before that.

Get lake, they are extremely hard wearing, I am in the 4th year of using them

Pedalhounds Enduro dates are up. Low-key, fun events. Great if you're thinking about trying enduro racing.

That's interesting - are they run on private land?

Yes, apart from Stanmer Park

Looks good, I will enter them. I'd better clean my chain at some point between now and the 2nd of April.

Sportpersuit have decent discounts about 30% off lake shoes at the moment. Limited model and sizes but you might get lucky

Sweet! I can't do the first two but will enter hardtail class for some of the others.

I’ll be the middle aged man on an 8k full suspension bike in the Fun cat.

I somehow doubt that will make you unique ;-)

I've been looking for some out here. I'd like to see how slow I am against good people. And I understand there are some very good people around here.

Very popular over the border in France, I should imagine there are some good riders and races near you too!

any one looking for a sweet full sus XC frame? https://www.lfgss.com/comments/15804622/

I'll have a look, I need something with more travel I think. And also more body armour!

Chunky sidewalls, kneepads and a fullface are a must for serious enduros IMO

I'm operating on the assumption that a UK Enduro won't have features larger or more technical than I found in Morgins, but this may be where I'm going wrong.

Full face, kneepads, and maybe even elbow pads for me.

The more technical Peaslake trails are harder than the hardest Pedalhounds stages. I ride an open face (and knees if it's not too hot) and a hardtail is absolutely fine, if not as fast.

Even a UK National Series event won't have anything like that Morgins black though there can be sections when I feel I'm approaching the limit of my abilities on a hardtail. I wear a full face for these.

The Southern Enduro series tracks are somewhere in between.

I admit that I chickened out of the black at Morgins, I did the reds a lot but couldn't find the requisite courage to move up.

I'm not that familiar with Peaslake - which trails would you class as the most technical?

I'll ride them at the weekend to get a feel for the level.

I wouldn't worry about that, the black is proper tech!

The most technical ones are off the South side of Pitch Hill: Thick and Creamy, Swoopy McSwoopface and a load more that aren't on Trailforks. Easy to follow your nose and find.

I'll listen for the screaming, head that way, shred the gnar.

Anyone used the Orange Clockwork Evo 29? My brother has the S which I've tried out once or twice, thinking of getting the best I can which will probably be the S but maybe higher. His is a few years old so interested in the opinion of anyone who has a '20 or '21.
