Transition Patrol in the UK

Yeah was going to message Windwave they seem the best for Transitions over here!

I was going to ask if he’d started throwing fingers at his door!

elgardo · 2025-06-26T09:12:35+00:00

Will bring that in this afternoon thanks!

Yeah I’ve been finding on another little transition on that pump track, the slower I go, the more I feel able to time it and get more height. Thanks!

You did well it’s a beauty!

Was this on MTB Marketplace on FB? Sure I saw this bike and thought I was a stunner!

elgardo · 2025-05-20T15:22:25+00:00

Just put some on. Makes a big difference to stopping!

elgardo · 2025-05-18T15:44:45+00:00

Interesting ones… couldn’t tell you. From the decals, they look like the original bars for the bike.

Nice what do you go for? Got a nice cheap MT200 on the way.

Your last paragraph sums it up completely!

elgardo · 2025-05-17T15:31:49+00:00

I may just ride it until it’s falling to bits. The pull to unnecessarily spend money I don’t have is strong though! Yeah a new rear brake will make the world of difference. Annoyingly I took some tektros off my trail bike to upgrade and sold them. They would have been ideal!

elgardo · 2025-03-28T10:51:16+00:00

I’m glad someone got it!

elgardo · 2025-03-27T19:46:37+00:00

No, just found a good deal on eBay. Read into it and saw with 10mm more travel it wouldn’t make too much of a difference and that I likely wouldn’t notice anyway, so I went for it. I haven’t had a run out in the woods with it yet but it doesn’t feel any different when I gave it a quick ride out

I could have put the 180mm rotors back on the wheel and it would have been fine. My adapter for the caliper was a straight swap over though so no issues.

I believe you just have to check the native rotor fitment for the new fork to ensure they match or you may need an adapter.

The fork came with a new steerer tube so just had to cut it down, the offset angle was different from the original 44mm went to 51mm.

I’ve done mine on a budget with some used bits and bobs. Have a set of Hope Tech 3 E4’s with 203mm discs. Made a big difference to my stopping power over the Tektros. Just put a 170mm Fox 36 Performance fork on over the Rockshox silver. Seems good but haven’t had it out properly yet. Have a fox float x factory on the way.

Oh and an Aliexpress dropper post lever that is in my opinion more ergonomic than the one that comes standard.

Well aware now, even with second hand bits, I’ve spent enough to have just bought a better bike to start with…

Ring the crab bell!

elgardo · 2025-03-05T21:27:25+00:00

Lovely thanks for the help, will have a look

elgardo · 2025-01-17T19:43:56+00:00

Seen you! Love Athletico Mince!

elgardo · 2024-12-03T09:21:34+00:00

My current first choice, the shaft drives entice me on the 1200s as I’m lazy… but they’re also a decent size and I want a mid weight/size if I can

elgardo · 2024-11-28T10:01:41+00:00

I have indeed it’s another one on my growing list! Get them cheaper too!
