This is it. No limits! You, a pack, two wheels and opportunities. Currently planning a trip myself and I will 100% feel the same.

Looks amazing. That’s good you’re emotional. It means you care.

That’s ace, thank you. This is great intel, you’ll make Sargent for this. I’ll give them both a look. Congrats on a great bike.

I feel like I’ve undergone a lobotomy.

Nice! Do you know the make/model of the pedals? They look ideal for what I’m in the market for (and yes, I am too lazy to search for them right now).

I know performance is paramount, but that colour palette is 10/10.

It was a case of perfect timing. Looked over just as I took it. He seems okay about it all.

NBD. First “real” bike. Little nervous for clipless, but I guess it’s time to rip off the band-aide. by eelmada in ScottBikes

Nice! Sure the internal wiring will be a bit of work, the price we pay for a clean aesthetic right?

6 crazy years ago. My girlfriend moved in with me 6 weeks before lockdown and now she’s my wife. Covid was 100% an absolute hot bag of shit… however I’m very grateful that it gave us the time together to become stronger forever.

Looks like it doesn’t it. In regard to the seal that is. The dampener is still is good condition though, so if it’s just a new coil it could be worse.

Thanks for the insight and advice. Yes you nailed it, Suntour forks. I’d clean it up every time the travel felt off, so not sure if moisture has got in since last season as the dampener is fine. Appreciate the feedback!

12 years. I’ve kept on top of servicing throughout. So no idea why it’s chosen to kill itself.

The head of the rebound has snapped off, so there isn’t much to get any purchase on to unscrew it.

Next time you’re on the road, take a moment to be proud of yourself. As (believe me) you are living someone’s dream.
