I get it occasionally, sadly as it's a free forum there will be ads. Annoyingly I have no control over what ads are there. A company pays ProBoards to advertise on the forum, how they do it is up to them. Like Euan said, I'd look at enabling a pop up blockers/app stores for AdBlockers/use Tapatalk. All annoying when all you want to do is browse a forum :/

I think a lot of the changes with road bikes are reducing the weight and increasing aerodynamics over any geometry changes.
You don't seem roadies slamming down slaloms skidding sideways, it's more head down and 25/30mph pace along a road where drag would be more noticeable. You're not likely to encounter a rock garden where having a slack HA will come in handy.

Right, I'm not sure gents. I'll have to post up a thread asking about it in the ProBoards forum. Use the other link for the time being.
Clear your browser cache as well as that may be throwing some issues as well.

It should be the same for everyone. Just in case it isn't though.

I'll be able to look into it later. Can't do anything from my phone at the moment.
For the time being use the url: mtb-UK.boards.net
If you can all share this out to members who may not be as tech savvy that would be awesome.

Look at the proportions. Men naturally have a stronger physiology than women. Look back at history all the way back to the stone age, men went hunting because they were stronger. It's something still prevailant today. Men simply have a lot more strength can push harder and faster.
Saying that my riding makes anyone look fast..

Myself and a couple mates are heading up tomorrow, will be doing the marked routes unless one of you lovely chaps is around, fancies a cycle and showing us some of the cheeky stuff?

Any 160~mm hard hitting 'enduro' bike will do you well tbh. You'll need to ask yourself how much actual DH you do, and will a cheaper DH bike cope, or will a VERY well specced enduro bike do just as well?

Hot Stepper, I really can't recommend this trail enough, it's an absolute riot! www.pinkbike.com/video/446697/Warm up on Sixtapod and then work your way down, Vicious Valley into Bonneyvile next. All incredible fun, all features on the blacks (minus drops) are rollable tbh. Every Red and Black section has a qualifier at the start, if you can't do that, you won't survive the rest of the trail.

ok seb.not having any problems at the moment. best its been all week. Cool, keep me updated. It could be something from the server, if there's a lot of people accessing it at the same time it could slow down.

you may well have programs open in the back ground, software running 'behind the scenes' which may be causing it to slow. I can use it on my laptop, desktop, phone and tablet all without any slow downs at all.

I'm chasing the banner issue now, for some reason I can't even find the option to add one now.
The redirects is nothing I can fix as it's an ad that Proboards have allowed to be displayed. Easiest option is to run AdBlock on a PC, as for the phone, use an app called Tapatalk.
The unresponsive site will most likely be down to your personal device, too many tabs open, too many things in the background.

Provided that Halfrauds keep the companies separate and don't try to use their name in it I can't see it being a problem, basically just use themselves to help finance the other companies!

First trail is down even further south than me at a place called Gawton Gravity Hub, near Tavistock, that trail was called HSD and is a red grade, there's another called Proper Job with double red grading, Super Tavi which is black (which IMO is pretty conservative as there's some MASSIVE features) and is used for DH races, and finally Egypt a double black, I managed to ride all of 100m before I was well out of my depth and beyond the bike capabilities.

Well, I've got the first ride report here, still all gravity related as I've not got the dropper yet. All I can say is this bike rips! It feels so alive out on the trails and I can really feel the rear suspension working away, the Knolly felt a bit 'dead' in comparison no matter how much a fettled with the CCDBA. I've pushed harder and faster than I have before with it, and I don't feel like I'm riding at the edge of my ability anymore. Now for pictures and videos! (video may still be processing)

Yup. Just peel them off. If you got them from slik the have the needed spacing printed on them.

Honestly? I'd avoid the Capra. Is it a bad bike? Hell no, but it's insanely common, get something a little interesting! Another reason against the Capra/Canyon, no LBS support, yeah they'll service it for you etc, but you lose that connection with a shop you've bought the bike from.
As for the Yeti, it might get clumped up with mud, but nothing a hose down/huck to flat couldn't sort. It's not a delicate little flower that needs to be wrapped in bubble wrap, it's a mountain bike that the company have spent an absurd amount of money testing in all weather conditions. It'll be fine.

Unless he was sponsored...LOL... Then they're usually fast enough you don't get chance to see all the kit

So what about this Saturday the 30th? I'm off and myself and a mate might head up, throw in a little stile cop as well possibly.
If the weather keeps up being as nice as it is down here, the cheekies may be dry?

Saw a Fox Metah on the trails today - looks a real nice lid, not too bulky etc. Unfortunately the bloke wearing it had the matching shirt, gloves and shorts on. In football fan terms he's known as...a full kit wanker. All the gear, no idea.
