Hi Folks, Was just pondering this and I'm thinking there must some other folks that happen to have a Decoy MX and happen the be riding in south wales. But the question is about laps, if I bought a decoy as a park bike, to not bother with the uplifts at BPW or dirt farm, is that viable? If...

That's interesting, cause I was pondering over hitting a tree as I'm to focused on a map in front of me rather then paying attention :) But it's a good point RE the phone, you have a GPS in your pocket at all times, the only reason I was thinking a device would be better is that I used to have a...

Folks, Has anyone on the forum been using a Edge 530 at all? I'm looking to get a bit more adventurous, maybe not going to a trail centre for once :) .... The thing I like about trail centres tho are arrows and directions, I'm a bit OCD on knowing where I'm going. So my thoughts are to make...

Thanks for responding and adding in your 2 cents everyone, as much as this is probably a tired old argument now, it's good to get people's perspectives on it, reading why people ride, where they ride on what on is always helpful.

My FF never really comes out of Tour Mode, I do understand where people coming from on such a contentious issue :) I think my attitude would be different if I lived in the alps. I've got a carbon enduro that I take to bike parks for uplift days and perhaps that has spoilt me, going from a 15KG...

Folks, ... I thought I would post this in the Specialized section cause that is where my train of thought is going ..... The summary is, should I sell me Crafty R (2021 bought in 2020) for a Levo SL ..... I know some of you might have fallen off your chair, but hear me out .... Bought an...

Awesome!, I hope you love it as much as I do, with all this Tier 4 and Lockdown nonsense in the UK, I've not been able to ride mine as much as I would like.

I've done about 100KM's so far at various trail centres, no weird creeks or issues so far, it's been a perfect ride every time. I hose the bike down after each ride and grease the chain, no issues with the Bosh system either, the EMTB mode is so good. This is the most I've ever spent on a bike...

Mondraker? ... I've recently purchased a Crafty R and loving it .....

I don't think I could answer your question in a meaningful way, but I did just order a Crafty R, the way I saw it was just a component difference from Trail/All Mountain - Chaser / Dusk to the Level being Super Enduro / Downhill, the Crafty sat in the middle with Fox 38 Fork for extra beef but...

@Craig Anderson ... scanning these forums there is a lot of folk sizing up, I'm 6.2 and square in the middle for an XL, comparing my Radon Swoop 170 (20 inch frame) from 2017 to an XL YT the geometry seems the same over all, but there are folks out there that are 6.0 and like a 480 reach which...

Totally didn't think of this at all :) Really good point ....

After watching the review of the new Focus Sam2, and seeing the ability to swap out between a full 29'er and a mullet, I thought, what a bike! ... I could throw a 29'er on the back and ride my local trails and go on touring adventures, then the next weekend I could thru a smaller wheel on and go...

They do have an XL 29'er at the mill, so I think I might take it out for a spin, get a feel for an EBike in general, maybe I'm kidding myself about getting crazy at the bike park, I probably am :) I'm too old and too scared :) @mikeyneale21 - I've been scanning these forms for people...

@Fatbap Thanks for responding, sounds like we seek out the same thing when it comes to riding, also thanks for the insight.
