You found my spacers!

bollocks, new bike is set to arrive in about 10 days time, or i would have said yes to FOD

120mm travel carbon or alu hardtail would get my vote.

So you can complain about all the roots on my favourite descent?

I think you're mistaken, the fork isn't on backwards on this one.

Damn rite

New version is 29” and has had pretty significant geo updates. Looks good on paper…

29er hardtail with a 65 deg head angle and a 140mm fork from Trek? Total madness, really. I love it.

Whyte are excellent have have superb after purchase support. Lifetime warranty on linkage bearings last time I spoke to them. I'd like a T140 personally. Not pretty, but I really enjoyed owning a T130 when they were about.

Minimum requirement for Epping gnar these days

Full sus, mullet trail bike, with a 64° HTA - perfect for Epping

I can recommend the Chisel. Just add a dropper and if you need them, some grippier tyres, and you're away

Is that the secret behind you holding all local KOMs?

No, that's his E-bike

Must be, it's impossible to spin as fast he does up hill

It's ok. His knees won't last much longer

Knees. I knew he was doping

Last call for FoD tomorrow- leaving London early and going via a custom camper van place, returning early evening.

What are these "knees" you speak of?

@pit definitely had more KOMs but at least two of them were from the surface absolutely not lending itself to breaking - I.e. off camber and gravel like marbles. Or at least knowing that there's someone there to call an ambulance.

I'm pretty sure there are campervan forums.

12 speed XTR shifter and mech plus 170/30.9 Reverb if anyone wants them?

I might be keen on the shifter and mech. Will pm

Bonza. On a different note- weather tomorrow looks dreadful, where are people heading too which won’t be a slop fest?

Moab?
