    Derby in Tassi

    Over the years I've ridden blue tier countless times and also had a few weekends worth of riding at Derby and the trails there still blow me away. Make sure you get out to Hollybank also as it's a great contrast on the well groomed trails that derby mostly consist of currently. A bit of self...

    Piggy went to market

    I'd just like to make a post detailing my brief ride today on this humble steed. So I had about 30 minutes left before dark tonight so I went up to a few local trails. My initial reaction to how it climbed was good, I wasn't sure how it'd climb but oh my, this bike has so much damn...

    Piggy went to market

    I bought a complete bike. The parts that are on it are spares I had laying about for when the time came that I got another bike. The chainstay yoke is like that so the stays can be kept super short and have no interference with the chainring. Kind of odd but it doesn't look all that bad. Will...

    Piggy went to market

    So when these were first shown a few months ago, was the first time in a long time since I've been excited for a second bike. I never thought I'd be seen dead on a 'fat bike' but it technically isn't a fat bike, is it? 2007 rolled around when all the craze was the norco shore hardtails, I...

    Retro-duro

    I've built it up over 2 bikes worth of parts and 2 years of collecting, swapping and buy/selling! My plan was to put all the original parts of which I have kept back on it and sell it on for the new model. Anyway, I hope you like it!

    Retro-duro

    Hey guys, I've recently come to the conclusion that since I will be keeping my current bike instead of upgrading to the current year model, I'd just give it a renewed lease on life with a splash of colour! Frame - 2015 Specialized Enduro comp 650b Rear shock - Rockshox Monarch plus Front...

    New XT.

    So far my initial impressions of the new XT M8000 drivetrain (HG600 chain, 11-42, XT mech & shifter) Very crisp shifting compared to my old 10spd (saint shifter, XT med cage mech, 11-36), the longer lever reach on the new XT is a really lovely thing. and the shorter throw and longer levers...

    Claiming a bike as a tax deductable item

    Now I'm having a bit of a grave dig here! so excuse me for bringing this back up. But it is a legitimate question none the less. So at the time of purchasing my bike, I was working full time as a trail builder and using my bike to ride and test the trails that were being built. Over the...

    2016 Specialized Enduro release date?

    I have heard otherwise, redesigned frame. As there is no 'Evo' model anymore, they will have to streamline it and get amongst it. have you seen the seat stays on the new stumpy? As if they wouldn't apply that to the new enduro! As if they would release a bunch of their other 2k16 models that...
