    Forgive me, I have sinned...

    I bought an ebike. Please, withhold judgement until the end. :) I've done all sorts of riding and enjoyed everything from super chunky enduro style trails to XC racing. Of late, as you know I've been on the HSP train and gone all in on two lovely bikes which are different but have a certain...

    More HSP goodness.

    How does this one start? Ok, I bought the Highlander in Feb 2021 and whilst I found the descending absolutely astounding, I seemed to struggle with the climbing. This of course was not what the majority of owners were finding which was infuriating and frustrating me too. Two higher spring...

    Push HC97 vs RC2

    Hi 'burners, I'm hoping someone has experience with these. I fancy replacing the RC damper in one of my Lyrik forks and am considering the Push HC97 or the standard RC2. Anyone have any experience of the Push option and how it compares? It looks pretty involved, but I wonder if it's THAT...

    Rockshox fork question

    On my Lyrik RCT3 which are 2017 the same airshaft gives 10mm less travel when used on 29" chassis over 27.5". Is this still the case for 2019 and on? I ask as a mate tells me that the different chassis doesn't make a difference on Fox 36 so the same shaft gives the same travel on 29" / 27.5"...

    Keep it / Sell it...

    Hi Burners, I've a question what's been on my mind for a while. One of my bikes is an almost perfectly preserved Trek Remedy 9.8 MY2017. 160mm front Pike X2 shock Carbon wheels with full XT. It's fun, and I do like it but almost every single ride I take the Banshee Prime. I've ridden it twice...

    Shock pressure during inactivity

    As I'm not going to be riding my bikes for the next few months (possibly 6 - 9 in total) what's the view on the best way to look after the shocks and forks during this time? Leave them fully pressured up? Deflate them entirely, or part way? Just sit on them and give them a bounce from time to...

    Banshee Paradox V3

    Finally got the bike completed, pending just a couple of parts. I'm waiting on a chainguide as well as a dropper post. Those will be with me in the next fortnight and I've got to let my shoulder heal up before getting on it. Over time I've had a range of parts sitting in the garage waiting to be...

    170mm fork recommendations..

    I'm considering changing out the 160mm Pike on my Remedy for something at 170mm. The Pike is very nice but I'd like something with more adjustability, more supple off the top and generally supportive in fast successive hits. On the rear I'm running Fox Factory X2, but I'm wondering if there's...

    A new Banshee?

    Of course the answer to this should, in my view, be yes... I saw this on IG yesterday. Seems a new Banshee Paradox is soon to be released. I'm not after a HT but if I were, this would be high on my list from the looks of it.

    29" wheels... Which ones?

    Hi all, I'm pondering wheels for a bike to suit it and am keen for user perspective. Site reviews can be helpful but it's good to widen the net. The bike Banshee Prime 2018 running 160mm Lyrik and X2. Likely to drop the fork to 150mm. Me 100kgs and 1.93m tall. Happy to climb but I'm...

    Another Banshee

    So finally my Prime frame arrived yesterday.. A late day in the office, longer commute and all sorts of other things between conspired to delay the build but I'm very happy with how it's turned out. Selecting this frame / build was a long story starting with the demise of my beloved Trek Fuel...
