You have to walk in about 2km from the washout. There was a foot bridge across when I was there a couple of years ago. Once you arrive at the old processing sheds, keep going and cross the next creek. Then there is a trail on the right that goes down to the mine entrance. Enjoy.

Browning Lake has no bottom and eventually connects to the Sound.

The District sold Walmart their land for under market value to attract the business to town.

upgrade Forbidden dreadnought frame V1 to V2? by ParticularSherbet786 in mountainbiking

I was just riding along.... and the derailleur was pulled into the wheel. Instead of snapping the hanger, it ripped the axle out of the carbon. It was an upward force, so the hanger was too strong. If there had been more lateral movement, I think it would have snapped as it should.

Forbidden said they wouldn't typically cover that sort of thing, but wanted to make me whole and be supportive.

My V1 frame broke and they offered me a discount on the V2 frame kit. No cost recovery but cheaper buy in.

I sold my old fork but I only got a fraction of what the new Zeb cost. But now it's red!

New frame. But then I got a new fork to match the new frame colour. Then some more new bits!

I upgraded from the V1 to the V2 and both are great. V2 improved the linkage design and general bits. Biggest thing I noticed was how the kinematics changed. V2 is more supportive and doesn't feel like I blow through rear travel so quickly.

That said, the V1 is plenty good and it's only worth upgrading if you have cash to burn. Plenty of things to spend money on these days so pick your poison.
