oooh oooh, im doing the Mega Avalanche this year, on this:

Quite excited about going. Planning on fitting some heavier tyres, then just pinning it!  Apparently you dont need to worry about hitting other riders- they're French!

looks like a possible golfGTi meet too!

[brett]

nice bike mate,soooo gotta get a full sus ,will put a pic up of some of my bikes in a bit lol

[brett]

right heres the specialized hardrock pro i use to get to work and the kona scab i'm in process of building for the eldest boy


nothing fancy but then,didnt cost much lol,will put some up of my 24seven when its back together and the gt chucker

[VeeDubGTI16v]

that intense looks trick  have you done the mega before?

Here's mine at the mo, have just ordered some high rollers for it and the dh damper kit for the forks, which is a bit pony as standard on these lyriks.

also trialling a prototype slick on the front 



am borrowing the reverb off a mate, but WILL have to buy one soon 

[Steve_PD]

Oh what lyriks are they? Ive been looking at getting the 160mm 2012 rc2l coil-u turn

You'll love the dropper post well worth the money

[VeeDubGTI16v]

lyric r maybe? they are non retail, just the ones they throw on bikes to sell! but once they have the damping upgraded I believe they are the same spec as the rc2l but no u turn. I'll let you know how good they are but write ups are positive.

yeah dropper post is the nuts but not cheap!

[Steve_PD]

That explains why I can't find any normal R's then.
Got a set of custom tuned RC2L's in my basket on a site, must stay away

Can get a rock shox dropper post for £200 new or look out for a second hand one. New crank brothers looks interesting but only just came out and still pricey

[brett]

you's have all got proper boys toys ,cant ne havin that ,gonna have to shift some stuff lol
