Re: A few mates rode and said the had a great day. If anybody is interested there is a Mountain bike festival being held in June at Eastnor, search Malverns festival on Facebook for more info.

Re: Re: I take it you're local then? I was born in Colwall moved to Ledbury as a teen and now live just outside Ross.

Re: I see Tim Davies and Clive Powell are entered in the retro class.

Re: I know little about it tbh, I'm fairly local and know the lad organizing the event is from Eastnor so I dare say he has picked/ been given this date due to availability and costs. Track conditions will hardly be like 2012 mm due to a much lower entry and sensible course lay out.

Looks interesting and even using the iconic 'Bomb hole''.

Re: That's probably not a bad combination you will get a good climbing gear and won't spin out on the flat which you might if you went 30 chainring and 11-36 cassette.

Re: He must mean chainring will only have an even number of teeth?

Re: You should be ok, if you do have a problem dropping the chain you will have to go with a clutch mech and a narrow wide chain ring.

Re: Pm sent

Re: Is the Zee brake still available?

Re: Yes, I've put a reverb on it and will be sourcing some better brakes and forks when I get chance.

Re: Went and tried then bought the Norco. It's a great bike for a cheapy, forks and brakes are trash for my 16 stone but rides fast and light so I'm well happy :D

I went out to fit my trusty oversize Thomson stem to my new bike only to realise that 31.8 has now been super over sized by 35mm. When did that happen? :facepalm:

Re: If I get it I may well be interested.

Re: How tall are you and what size did you go for? My local Evans is Cheltenham, seem OK to deal with although the sales man didn't know the plastic cap on the seat tube was for a stealth dropper!
