That's why I actually have two :)
My original XL is still in MTB trim, and very much original with the Marzocchi Z2s still working superbly. Only change is a set of wider bars on a shorter stem.
I bought a second as a parts bike a few years back, supposedly XL but turned out to be L. That one...
I was lucky enough to see Nils Frahm live in Melbourne back in 2018 during a torrid year, and he transported me away from my troubles for a couple of hours. When I have the house to myself, this is one of my favourite postcards to somewhere else blissful. Headphones or big speakers are a must...
FWIW, I went from a late 90's GT Avalanche 26" with a whopping 65mm front travel and rim brakes, to a relatively recent XXL Trek Fuel EX8 29" with the tricksy single front ring, dropper, hydraulic brakes and SRAM GX. I still have the GT and love it to bits, but found that the style of most...
I did the same, mainly because nobody makes a kit for the XXL Herman Munster size. One company said XL would be close enough, but the tubes are all longer so I couldn't bring myself to pay full ticket for a kit that doesn't cover everything.
I'm interested to know what GPS and tracking gear you use for Fritz. I have a new pooch who's showing promise, but he does range around a little more than I'd like off trail.
I'm a nurse and one day at work I realised that in the last fortnight I had met three competitive cyclists who had crashed. Injuries varied, but all had significant fractures. All went home eventually. All were over 50. The oldest was... wait for it... >80 years old.
Lottery greatness is...
I cheaped out and bought a 600x300mm piece of bonnet protector material from Autobarn. The freight alone for the UK kit was going to run into silly money. It took quite a bit of doing to make up patterns and fit it, but it will do the job.
Part of the decision was that nobody makes a kit for...
I'll bite my tongue then!
The hassle for me is that good XL/XXL bikes are few and far between. I've been hovering for more than a year, trying to decide between the more XC based bikes and something a little more suited to bumpy downhill stuff. It was between this and or an Anthem 29er and I...
Hi all.
I've spoiled myself during Trekfest and a new dual suspension trail bike is coming to join me shortly. It's the first new bike in more than 20 years, and I would like to keep it in good order.
What are your experiences with paint protection skins?
Bike is an XXL Trek Fuel EX8.
I rebuilt the engine in my Disco and installed something similar to allow installation of a secondary oil pressure and oil temp sender. It worked insofar as I could install both, but was only oil tight for the first couple of thousand KM. As soon as I started changing filters, the slightest...
Grand Daddy 22" GT Avalanche from 1998. Original spec other than Avid v-brakes fitted when bought new to replace the ordinary STX-RC set.
Still going strong after 16 years but I would love something more up to date. I'll get to that once I have found my fitness again.
I thought about it but then again the Nettis lasted 20 years!
I'll give it some thought out on the bike this morning. It's about 6° outside so need something to keep my mind occupied.
Not sure where the best place to post good deals spotted would be, but I found one today which is relevant to this readers in this thread.
My ancient Netti touring shoes no longer fit me - strange how feet keep growing! Earlier in the week I was sniffing around to see what's available in BIG...
Hello all. New member on the site who has recently started cycling again after dusting off my old GT Avalanche. I'm a fair bit lighter than I was 15 years ago when I bought the bike (79kg instead of 95kg) but no shorter at 198cm. I thought it was appropriate that my first post be here...
