@NightSt@lk3r I thought you had to pay now? you can just hop across that barbwire fence and dodge what appear to be sheep?I bet no one has ever put a bike on top of Stonehenge and took a photo of it

They got wise to the fence jumpers so now have security everywhere

Anyway gonna be a wet week from now so no riding for a while, hopefully my new forks get here before i next go out

Finally got a bunch of my new parts in and installed, Rockshox Recon RL forks, Shimano Deore M5100 rear derailleur and shifter, microSHIFT XLE 11 H113 Cassette and SRAM Red22 chain, just waiting on my SRAM NX 1 GXP crank and bottom bracket to come in to finish it off.

The ride is so smooth now, the old MicroSHIFT 8 speed on it created so much noise and vibration and the forks are like butter compared to the SR Suntour XCT's that were on it, the lockout is also so nice to have on hills.

Ok i think im happy now and this might be the final form for awhile, swapped out microshift 11-46 cassette for the Shimano CS-M5100 11-51 and put on sram bottom bracket and crank.

What an awesome Cycling Memorial, I didn't line it up perfectly for the shot though

New bike for the wife

Is that a hopeful purchase or is your wife a keen MTBer? Either way, if you are looking for a second wife...

First time out in years, really enjoyed myself and didn't die

fez · 29 Jun 2023 at 10:34

Oh wow, check out that rear suspension! I was a bit confused for a second why there was a pivot at the back but I couldn't see the shock but its just a bit hard to see. Pretty unique design. How does it ride?

Mr.Cookie · 1 Jul 2023 at 16:47

@fez it rides well, although I feel you lose some power but this may be true of all rear suspension bikes. Still it's over 20 years old and all is still functioning.

Mr.Cookie · 2 Jul 2023 at 14:59

Back out again!

aVdub · 2 Jul 2023 at 17:21

Out from Deal to the sound mirror at Folksetone.

Fab ride last weekend up from Llangorse Lake onto the ridge, down into Bwlch nd than back to Brecon via Talybont.

Love Wales - is flipping up and down though!

I was at some woods next to Beamish then took the scenic route home.

Saw a field with hundreds and hundreds of sheep in it so shouted BAAA BAAA and set off a chain reaction

Grim up North apparently

Fun but muddy ride today.

NightSt@lk3r · 13 Oct 2023 at 15:00

Did the Gorrick MTB Challenge in Andover on Sunday, what a great event and some real nice trail sections.

This is mine in its usual state of slightly muddy. Had to add front mudguard as i kept getting chunks of mud to the eye.

Still throws me out when I see a bike with the shock built into the frame.

Its a scott spark 930. Most people have the same reaction but i like the clean lines. The only problem is the bb is low on this bike and i have found issues with small tracks
