Re: I think for me I think it'll be a push tune or swap to the rock shox monarch plus to match up with the pikes (that's what the new nomads come with).

Bronson could make me a one bike man... I won't let it but it is more than capable of everything I wish to do. The rear shock lets it down occasionally in real rough rocky descents but I've been told a push tune could resolve (needs a bit more support in midstroke ideally) but it certainly...

Re: So I've been loving the bronson, so capable on all rides I can ride it all day on xc epic or point it down as rough terrain as I dare (being honest I'm never going to be as capable as the bike) and it just soaks it all up. decided I'd like to try riding without the front mech so rather...

Black looks better IMHO.

That does help with chain dropping but if I do an all day ride the speed of a 38t helps in places and the 24t granny helps with some of the 1:4 climbs! I may try it at some point though. For now I'm just enjoying it :D

Thanks, I'm over the moon with it, the granny ring is staying put for now, handy at times for spinning up climbs. The invisiframe stuff is incredible, certainly worth the money IMHO. I love CyB was great fun, I'll definitely be going back again at some point :) Plenty more rides planned...

Went to Coed y brenin on the 1st of Feb for #mtbmeetup that was arranged on twitter. Found a couple of pics of me on the bronson :) And this one while I was recovering with a nice warm

Thanks very much :) Certainly enjoying it and no doubt I will continue to!

News to me. Thanks for the heads up. :)

Re: 2012 Nukeproof Mega *work in progress* 20minutes with an inner tube?! Ok what did you do I'm intrigued! Mega looks great, bet it's a hoot to ride. :D

Great build, looks really nice and perfect for the so called hard winter were supposed to be getting.

As far as I was aware it was just the forks. I've got no problems as yet with my kashima ctd. A friend has a 2013 orange five with the normal ctd shock and he's not mentioned any issue. :?

Thanks all :) Afraid I still rely on the granny ring for some climbs. :oops: The fox ctd shock seems fine to me, works well alongside the pikes. I know there's been a lot of issues with the ctd forks. Got it a bit muddy today although the rain seemed to get rid of most of the lumps and...

Thanks guys :D Slope, I've lost 4.5stone since January, I've got a very understanding wife too lol. So finished the build off, took some pics straight after but have since adjusted bars, levers etc. will be changing some cable routing too. Been for a couple of rides on it and...

So my wife agreed after my weight loss I could treat myself to a full suspension bike. I've been working my wotsits off doing a fair amount of overtime and saving hard so I began to piece together the puzzle.. First came the forks, Then some brakes and an xt 2x10 groupset (no pic of the...
