This got me right in the feels.
Sad to see him go, a massive loss to the syndicate team it just won't be the same.
I wonder if the rumors of ratboy quitting are true too?

New addition to the stable.
I've been meaning to get something that i dont have to push to the top for a while, this popped up in my FB notifications the other day, I thought **** it! why not!
Stuck the breaks from the big bike on there, as the DH bike will be out of action for the next couple of months, whilst it gets full bearing/pivot hardware, rear axle, and respray. It also received a Hope 40t T-Rex expander, 30t N/W, XT cassette, chain and fresh cables. it still needs a proper front brake mount (ordered) as its bodged at the moment and dropper post needs servicing (Service kit ordered).
Had it up Hammers on Sunday.
it gets up the hills, not elegantly but it'll get me to the top.
Maybe i'm just used to long and slack but crikey it can turn on a pin head, havnt felt somthing to direct and responsive on the corners in a while, I'm used to a big long sluggish limo.
To say its playful would be an understatment, just makes me want to "Jib" off every rock, stump, root or mound in sight.
It likes back wheel!!! slight pull of the bars and shes away, never felt a bike quite like it!
All in all i liken this bike to an ADHD ASBO child with tourettes, funny, mental and out to cause trouble!

Gutted this morning, took this segment fairly relaxed but with a massive tailwind and ended up getting 6th overall 
If I'd put some effort in I could easily have had (a somewhat false

Calibre Bossnut can be had for about £850 right now on Go Outdoors if anyone is looking for a bargain entry Full Susser.
I'm tempted to get credit card out.

Got it for £450, so couldnt grumble for the condition it was in, you'd be mistaken for thinking it had never been ridden.
I had the Norco Range carbon, but swapped that for the Gambler as i missed having the DH bike.

Gents, I'm after some Neon Green Gear cable outers and hydraulic hoses to match

Any one got any recommendations? Jagwire stuff (my default go to) seems a bit more yellow.

Came off this morning at about 20mph on a downhill section on the way to work. Went over a jump and the front wheel just got caught up on the earth banking at the side as I landed, just dragged me down with great whack to my forearm.
Just tell me the bike's ok.

Seems fine thankfully. Bars were a bit twisted but I've reseated and tightened them. It went down on the LHS so the derailleurs etc didn't eat dirt.

But the best colour is black, everything should be black.

Only do cables for brakes. I have checked.
Managed to find some which I think should match, Uberbike in the end for hoses and some Shimano for the cables. Black is too dull. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I just love that these are in the same sentence
Clearly living the commuting dream.
