Ive had my Transition painted in Desert turquoise & finally replaced the pedals with something decent and grippy. Sorry for the potato pictures, I'll get some better ones when my decals turn up.

Not posted in here in ages.

Stripped the Bottlerocket down to replace the bearings, but thought while it's all apart I might aswell get it painted. Hopefully it should be back with me in a couple of days in a lovely shade of ral5018 (desert turquoise).

Finally got some decent grippy pedals & plan to replace the rear hub with a hope pro 2 at some point soon.

Terrible news & my love goes out to his family.
The loss of two, 2 wheeled legends in 1 week is sad

A little update:

Finally fitted a dropper. Managed to pick up a brand new KS cruxi dropper in 27.2mm dirt cheap....it turned out to be faulty and I managed to get it swapped for an Eten integra.

Next plan is wheels, hopefully hope pro 2 on some form of wide rim.

ive just picked up this 2004 Volvo XC90 D5

Immediate plans are pressed number plates & to sort the headlamps out. Future plans are to either refurbish the wheels anthracite or change them out for something bigger and different.

I've just ordered myself a new skid lid, fancied a new one & it just so happens that crc had £10 extra off when spending £49 or more.

Gone for an Urge Endur-o-matic.

I had a BFe years ago and it was a bit of a lump tbh. Nice geometry for riding down hill and stuff but it was a bit uninspiring for everything else, too heavy and dead feeling.

Ragley blue pig or bird zero?

Cheers Tom.

I've just got to learn how to jump a big bike properly now!

I've only heard good things about the slackline, that said I've never ridden one. Have you considered cotics?

Dropper post I'm guessing?

Dropper & wheels I think.

She looks a beaut. The barcode was the best frame I'd ever owned.

I'm so glad that they are getting so much love now.

I know it will climb like shit, but I'm pretty confident that it will plough through the downs and flowing sections of trails......now to plan a trip to bpw
