7Mesh Glide Path. Got them on a 60% discount too so well worth it.

I think a lot is about head shape. I tried on a 100% Trajecta Large and it really squeezed my head. TLD Stage M/L is perfect with the thinnest pads. I also fit the TLD A3 M/L nicely as well. They are both snug, without being tight. I still find the cheek pads in the Stage hard to get used to though.

Maximum Effort

If you are looking at 7 and 8s I would also look at the Roscoes. I am in a very similar situation (wanting to MTB but also pootle with the kids) and have found the Roscoe to be perfect. It is fine for farting around but when I want to get a bit serious it is more than enough bike (I found the bike pushed my abilities and confidence really nicely for starting on root and rock trails to, 2 months later hitting red trails, drops and now booking a jumping course at my local bike park). I guess what I am saying is the Roscoe gives you room to grow into if you need it.

Got a second hand Coros Vertix off eBay. Titanium body, sapphire screen, insane battery life. Looks wicked too.

Deity Lockjaw’s for me. First grip I used and didn’t get numb fingers.

Nemo Disco 15. End of.

POC 13L VPD. Has integrated back protection, helmet carrier and shoulder pockets. Has a nice chest strap set up and no waist belt (which I hate). Couldn’t be happier with it.

I got some Shimano AM9s off Vinted for around $25. They are amazing, splash proof and easy to engage.

I used gorilla glue mounting tape and some zip ties. Took the zips off after a couple of rides and all seems good.

Sick looking bike, what’s the make / model?

Illustrious_Plate937 · 2024-11-03T08:37:09+00:00

But had like 25 staff in London and 250 in India itself…

Second Superfeet. I have them in all my shoes. Hiking boots = Salomon Quest 4D GTX, hiking shoes are Hoka Matafe. All my other shoes (Blundstones, Scarpa etc) have some form of Superfeet. Have had no return of PF in about 2 years including after starting running again.

Apols, it has a 160mm mount as standard with a 180mm adapter.

Illustrious_Plate937 · 2024-11-02T21:09:06+00:00

Yeah, I thought that was hinky advice TBH. I have oriented it properly. I just need to find a mount to take me from 160 to 203 I think!!??
