Looks awesome mate! Me and DeanO are signed up for next year, still trying to convince Lachie.4500+m of decending, 1million wet tree roots and a bunch of creek crossings, I think my wet riding training before coming to NZ paid off. 0 stacks, only a couple of wild moments through some 100m section of roots.

next year? hows Feb sound? haha, i havent even left and im ready to come back. I wish it wasnt so rainy, biggest rain event in NZ since 1999, but so much of it is still rideable if you dont mind getting wet.Looks awesome mate!

Sounds awesome but a bit early to convince the missus. These things take time! We’ll at least be in Rota mid year.next year? hows Feb sound? haha, i havent even left and im ready to come back.

quarry pk on flats take2, tried some emerica skate shoes, and realised the saint pedals had washers on the middle pins, grip was much better, held up in the tiny rock garden, lost my foot once climbing a tight switchback, and once when i got about 5mm in the air on a jump...still hating flats but will keep trying for nowthrew some flats on the duallie last night, my hip flexor is weak AF, i had my giro rumble..bit firm...but had zero grip on the saint pedals, rode quarry pk in melb inner west, i then realised the saint pedals had little washers spacers on the bolts, removed all the outer ones, still not enough grip..
there is a tiny pebble rock garden, my feet kept bouncing off—
Not a rep, just work for distro.@Ezkaton is a rep I think and can help you find available sizes in store to try.
I won’t go back to 5tens though. I’ve found my shoe.
So does this mean you have access to hope’s anno green stuff they won’t sell to us plebs?Not a rep, just work for distro.
I'm using the Tribe in 47 which is my standard EU size and they fit great.
Narrower than my Freeriders and more of a snug fit, but they're really comfortable. I even use them for hiking, haha.
I tried on the Clan when they first arrived around nearly 12 months ago, also 47, but the arch support didn't really work for my foot too well. Though I'd really like to give them another go, they're just built much better than the Tribe. See how I get on with a 48 next time they're available.
To bring this in line with regular shoes, I use a 13 or 14 depending on the brand and style of shoe, which I believe equates to 46.5 / 47EU? Correct me if I'm wrong, but yeah.
I’ve tried that line...So does this mean you have access to hope’s anno green stuff they won’t sell to us plebs?
But I want them so badHe has these...and no, you can’t buy them
