ATX! Love it.
I've had a few special ones recently, 2005/6ish S-Works Enduro but last week had one of the full Pace XC bikes, 19 years old according to the owner, fitted with classic XTR and the Pace Carbon forks!
On a side note, how much does it suck to go back to work Kieran?

A fair bit, I've spent the past 2 days working through a backlog of repairs and tidying up (notice the state of my desk behind, which was pristine when I left 
)
Feels like I was never away, so I'm already planning next year haha.
Another picture.

That's a BIG bike....possibly just the pictures making it seem so tho
You need to run the Overclockers Dark theme so you can limit the size of pictures.

Hey guys, I'm looking to replace my rear wheel on my 2008 Stumpjumper with something a bit more sturdy as what is on there is reaching the end of it's life with all the abuse I've been giving it. The front wheel has the 9mm DT Swisss thru bolt on a Specialized Stout hub and I think having something similar on the rear will help. My budget is £100 - £150 ideally but if there is a much better wheel for more then I would consider it. Thanks!
Repair?!
Surely that thing an survive a Nuke?
Fellas,
Looking to get an intro 29er, won't be needing it for anything crazy (just yet)
Was wondering if you guys had any advice on this bike:
It's going to be used (but looks almost brand new and barely used).
Thought's or suggestions?
Can get it for about $400-450

If you got a chance, could you look into a full bearing kit for a 2012 Boardman FS Pro? Rang Halfords today and they quoted £130, but no-one seemed sure exactly what was included. Ideally, I'd just like to know what bearings are in the kit so I can order them from elsewhere cheaper, lol!

i think it's a good idea and reasonably priced compared to other electric bikes. Personally don't have the cash for something like this but if i did i'd be intrested in these. Gets you up the hills easier

On leave visiting the parents, Yesterday i thought i'd revisit some old riding spots in the local area, only to find most of them completely overgrown and unused, mega disappointed
so i headed for the centre of town, hit up all the old street riding spots, not ideal on a DH bike but it sure put a big smile back on my face.
Today i decided to go further afield, looked up some trails, and decided to gamble on a place i'd never been before Carron Valley near Stirling, has an orange DH/Freeride trail according to the website, so Mounted up the bike and jumped in the car, well i have to say it was not worth the journey, it was fun dont get me wrong, but it definitely didnt warrant the drive down.
So unsatisfied i mounted up again and drove back, on the way past perth i decided to take another gamble and check out Kinoull hill, it had been near on a decade since i've been there, and i've not heard anything about it since, i wasnt even sure if the track would still be there, so i unloaded, headed for what used to be the bottom, to be greeted by a big sign stating that it was the bottom of the Deuchny hill bike park
happy man was I! its changed a lot in over a decade, bottom half is well groomed and smooth with big berms drops and jumps, the top is still rough, natural, rooty and technical.
Unfortunately i only managed to get one run in before i had to get back home, but i left satisfied!
Cant wait for Fort William at the weekend!

What a fun video!!! the guy looks like hes having a right laugh!
Currently thinking about a new frame... Anyone have feedback or opinions on the following?
Evil Uprising
Santa Cruz Bronson
Yeti SB66
Specalized Enduro (Bit of a maybe that one)
Banshee Rune V2 (Same as Spesh)
Ideally I would really like to test ride all of these but I'm unsure as to how likely that will be, so any feedback from people who have ridden them or poked and played would be appreciated. Really feeling a change just to mix it up, love the Mega but it cannot hurt to look elsewhere.
