Enjoying the sun at Sherwood Pines

Cheers guys, something to look out for but are the items correct in the link I posted?

I'd like to replace the top and bottom headset bearings on my Sam 6.8, they are creaking and noisy. Looks at parts needed, are the items in the link below correct and all I need? 2022 FOCUS 2022 PLANET² REPLACEMENT TAPERED HEADSET BEARINGS [ ]

Interesting thread. I'm suffering from tennis elbow after riding and thinking carbon bars may help me?

Definitely up for a ride out 👍

That's one mod, but not the bike mod😉 That was Sherwood Pines yesterday with 32 other riders. Blue, green and red route in one go. Pines is just 20min from me.

10 points if you can spot the modification.

Cheers all 👍

As i am now the wrong side of 50, according to the opticians, i have to wear varifocal glasses full time. I asked about prescription cycling glasses suitable for mtb riders and was told to use prescription sunglasses. My question is, what options do i have? What do you, riders with varifocal...

2021 Sam 6.8 New to emtb, no mods really apart from Renthal bar, tubeless and orange ZEB stickers on the front shock.. On the list is: New saddle. New headset but keeping the cables in the headset. Grips.

Thanks, i will give that a try👍

Thanks all for the suggestions. Plenty of things to try 👍

Rear is worse than the front. Had another look at the rears, i dont think 2 of the pots are working as well as the other side. So possibly air?
