Fair point.
Looks pretty solid. I'll go read some reviews but what do you think of it, I assume you have one?

Rockrider bikes are probably the best value bikes available which makes them a great buy to get into riding.
I wouldn't do anything too big on them though as this might happen : http://www.mtbe.co.uk/dalby-forest-day-out-with-pics-contains-bike-gore-t10094.html
HOLY SHIZZ

I bought a 8.1 second hand for £210 (was selling for £500 at the time) and I'm chuffed to bits with it. So much so that I bough my girlfriend a 5.1 and for her skill level it's great. I love mine and will do me well for a good while yet.
Also worth noting that when buying my girlfriends the guy mentioned to me that they come with a lifetime warrenty or something? Some French thing.

Raceface Diabolus DH riser and Raceface Ride Stem ordered. They got decent reviews and seem to fit the bill.
Highland Wildcat this weekend so they will get a good test run

He remained so calm during that, fair play to the guy. I would have unloaded on her for sure.
Difficult to judge who was at fault though. She did stop very quickly, but he was going a bit fast? Drama queen for sure
He was crawling, she was barely moving.
Her fault, but he should have expected/pre empted it being on a downward sloping XC trail, there are bound to be a lot of beginners around.
He did however do very well at keeping calm and really sounded genuine while apologising.

Unfortunately it's not a personal recommendation, however it's rated as the "best" lock over at LFGSS: http://www.lfgss.com/thread17938.html
Bike Radar review here too : http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/accessories/locks/product/new-york-fahgettaboudit-mini-16565
If/when I buy a lock I'll probably get that one though

Saw that last night on mtbr, horrendously embarassing! I can't believe how well the guy kept his cool.
I'm not sure he did anything wrong really, I mean maybe he could have held further back and waited until the trail widened, so he could overtake.
She looks a lot like a girly Masterchief too
LMAO
This happens too often - n00bs stopping for no reason without checking behind first.
Also that is most over armoured rider i've seen outside of the gadget show

Could easily be a DH resort, his fault for riding too closely.
What the ....? I'm not even sure how she got hurt tbh, imagine if she had a proper off!!
He wasn;t going fast at all, was very humble and calm in his apology though!

I have that lock, but unfortunately my rims are too deep to get the lock around wheel, ST and rack. I use a cable looped through both wheels.

What? She was closer to the guy in front until she got scared.
Should have smashed her Pasty TBH!

Didn't stop her moaning for a solid 5 mins even getting passerby's roped in on it.
Ok, he hit her but FFS she only had a little tumble which she then milked the death out of...

Why are you going for the dts over soemthing like a 729 disk?
Or am I mistaking it to be the 4.1s that were made of cheese?
