Looking at new wheels for the zesty. I can get a set of arch ex on nukeproof hubs for £300 from my local shop. Could I get anything better for around that price range?

Hope Hoops Tech Enduro for a wee bit more. ^
Lost it, I wonder if he didn't notice the height of it! It looks steeper in that video than it did in photos mind.

What bike you riding there D?Fun day up at Rogate again... one of the bonuses of riding there, is that there's always a photog there

Depending on your weight / riding style, you might want to consider Flow EX.
The Arch is also pretty narrow inside diameter from memory.
Recently bought someSpecialized Roval Fattie wheels - with 29.something ID - they give tyres a lovely wide profile. I got the alu version, and only cost 400 at retail, so not too badly priced either.
Got my TLD A1 helmet today. love it.. fits so nice and comfortable! Been riding a lot of my local downhill trails recently to improve my skills on the steep, some crazy stuff.. Just trying to practice drops now aswell, always have a mental block especially on the steep stuff as im not getting the same speed atm as on the brakes a lot. Hopefully it will click soon 
Great! I always get a bit nervous if someone actually makes a purchase that I've offered advice on.

Ordered these and they arrived today. I genuinely think they're WAYYY too big for my face.
Just stuck with the arch EX. It was a few bob cheaper and they'll be ready for friday. While the Flow ex may be wider and designed to withstand more punishment, i reckon the arch ex will be grand.
Im in north wales, a place called betws-y-coed if you have heard of it,has the marin trail and stuff, like 30 mins from coed y brenin. Some really cool downhills the locals have made.
Heres a video of the atherton crew riding one, its sooo steep i have so much to learn to ride these nicely.

Once you get used to them you can unclip very quickly - without even thinking about it.
Some situations it causes more crashes (when you cant unclip fast enough) some situations it saves you from crashes (your feet never get bounced off the pedals)
