Haha well said Nas and btw, you're preaching to the choir.

And mine and a few other good friends haha

I would in no way call myself a pure comp rider but I do ride comps and have done for many years. I've seen the peaks and troughs, people come and go but right now the scene, at least in Scotland is growing. We've just had a double header this weekend and had around 30 riders on a freezing cold and wet couple of days. Its all down to one man as well. David Johnstone. Yea, there's less choice bike wise but just look at the Clean and Crewkerz. Why would you want anything else? They're the sharpest tools for the job! Can they handle overhang hooks, yes, they'll do... Again, why would you want anything other than an Inspired for riding street unless you're a, "use the wrong tool for the job" kinda guy. Its taken many years to boil down but I think finally we have reached the plum sauce. Ohh shiiiit, did you miss the whole retro revival thing through COVID? Hilarious! People who once had zero interest, suddenly had Ibiza holiday money to spend on every DCD, Fatty or Pashley fork, IRC El whatever or Azonic product they never knew they wanted.

And landed in Wayne's shed.

I have a spare trial tech 16tooth freewheel if anyone needs it.

Some updated products would be good to see. The rims were super popular so would be nice to see those available again.

Haha, I bet that would build up ok with the right parts on. Looks like it would get you down the beach ok!

Quotes, aging like a fine wine.

Looks like it was made in the same factory as Chris Holdens Hex 😂

I have those and that front rotor is definitely not that.

Just tell the guy what he wants to hear, Ben. Centre lock rotors will come loose when riding trials. See, that's all he wanted to hear, whether its from personal experience or not. 😂

Boooooorrriiiinngggg.

The slanted climbing wall line was so cool. Seeing Charlie nearly going OTB on the last bit but still holding it was spectacular.

I dare you to try it.

That's cool. Liking the stripped rear Carthy rim/green classic king set up.

Aye, if you want the jail.

Yep, the speed limit on the road to the trails is pure shite but once you get it on the trails, the topping out of speed isn't so noticeable unless its a long ass straight DH section.

A thousand pounds?! Ain't nobody got time fo that.

If you get the Halfords voucher, they also cover Tredz. Its always worth looking for what bike you want outside of those two shops, then speaking to the bike shop its in and ask if they will accept the Halfords C2W voucher. Leisure Lakes isn't listed as an approved dealer but they accepted my voucher Just watch though, the bike I was looking at had 16% off but they put back on 10% so that they could "make some monies on the sale". Whatever...

Nothing worse than a bike you need to ride gingerly. Changing a tube normally ruins your grind so its just not worth running a light tube or an XC tyre to save a couple of grams here or there.

Run what you brung brother. Don't stress about this or that or what, just get out there and ride it. Soon you'll start to find the limits of the set up with the moves that you're trying. If you feel you're bashing your thighs on the bars then a longer stem might help. If the bike feels like a dog to pull up to manual, maybe its higher bars you need.. Try and connect with the bike and it'll tell you what it needs.

MAKE NATURAL COOL AGAIN.

It was internet trolls he was talking about. Hee haw about observers.

Have a listen to Carthys post win interview. I think he thinks he has haters trolling him.
