Re: bikes

I survived the long weekend with only 1 crash fortunately. But god damn, the climbs killed me. Wasn't the fittest at the time as had been out of action for 2 months with a broken rib.

Any other MTBrs on here? I've become obsessed with it in the last couple of years.

Climbs pretty bloody well, prob better on the rougher stuff. The Fox RP23 rear shock has 3 diff damping settings which works really well and is easy to flick over as you ride.
