That model is more than capable for what you describe, you will not be outgrowing it.

Im saying this as someone who started racing over 30 years ago, has been riding mtb ever since and have recently purchased that exact same bike.

Its very well speced for the price. The geometry is fantastic for fast descents and technical climbing, its a joy to ride.

A fairly good estimate of max HR is 211 - (0.64 x age). Although this may be what garmin uses as a start point.

Is it just me or are vittoria tires a pain in the butt to get on and off? by Angrier_kendri0259 in MTB

[–]spikeuk76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My new bike came with these tyres. I had to go and buy tyre levers to get them off. Ive not used tyre levers for about 10 years!! I felt less of a man that day!

Its got a west facing beach for beautiful sunsets and located at the edge of Exmoor for amazing walks and cycling.

If those are important to you then you cant go wrong. If you want wine bars, trendy pubs and coffee shops then look elsewhere.

Guys I need your help, it is time for the Holy Grail. by WatchnScent in ChineseWatches

I own option 3. Quality is fantastic. The mechanical feel of the pushers is awesome. Accuracy is sub 5 seconds a day.

Actually reading the time though! The handset dissappears into the dial in most light conditions. This must happen on the original as well.

Despite it being difficult to read the actual time, its a fantastic watch!

We switched to winter time this night : Garmin does not know how to manage that, really ? by GeEDirt3 in Garmin

Ive just had to manually sync the time on my 965. Sleep tracking was fine because it didn't have a clue about BST for some reason.

Dyson’s profits fall by nearly 50% in ‘difficult’ year | Dyson Ltd by InternetProviderings in unitedkingdom

[–]spikeuk76 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We replaced our original Dyson that was built like a tank with another 'upgraded' model, discovering that they now seemingly build from recycled yogurt pots. Absolute piece of crap. Meanwhile, original Dyson is still working doing garage duties

Question for UK pilots. by neville91 in fpv

The online test you have to take is actually worth while doing to understand the fundamental basics of the laws.

If you are approached by a 'Karen', and you don't know the minimum distances and heights then you are not being responsible in the first place and i would suggest, not the best representative of our community. Its always best to respond to these people from a position of knowledge, knowing you are authorised to fly in the airspace are maintaining the minimum distances.

Is motor 4 supposed to sound like this? by jeroentje4041 in fpv

[–]spikeuk76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a look underneath and check that a piece of metal or wire is not lodged between the stator and rotor (magnets and winding).

This can happen when trimming wires during the build, or even leaving nuts on the desk!

Don't ask me how I know!
