Anyone used the Pamela Handerson grips and are the decent? Trying to find some new gum / brown grips. The vans waffle ODI's look good but are fairly hard.

Ha, ha, were always bin chickens in NSW. Busy making up a Bin Chicken Sticker set for the Ripmo.

That's almost XC realm. Time for that lycra!

To be honest at the moment there are so many shorter offset forks floating about and going cheap because they are only really applicable to a tiny amount of current frames. I only got the 46 offset MRP cos it was a steal and the guy couldn't shift it (not because I'm a hard charger who need that kind of thing). I prolly would have happily stayed with my trusty pike with it's 51 offset if the guy wasn't desperate to get rid of it.

Luckily we're Slate roofs. Still a b-ache when up there climbing about but thankfully not the big A word.

My Ripmo should be a 44 offset but I could only get a 46 on the MRP Coil so I've just gone with that. Funnily, this was the response I got from Guerrilla Gravity when I asked them about fork offset for their carbon Smash: "1. The Fox 36 uses the short 44mm offset, and the forks from Rock Shox will use a standard 51mm offset. We've extensively tested both and we don't think it is a noticeable difference but we recognize that some people like to geek out on those details so we have both available but for most people 'Meh'."

Just saying... https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/2504418/

Had a site assessment today and are having a usage monitor installed for a week to check the usage patterns and will have a system drawn up from there. Will let you know how I go.

45mm?

Yeah, we're going through everything with and getting the mad waste sorted. Also getting a grid attached Solar system quoted on, the old 50 yr electric geyser replace with a fat solar one and sorting a solar pool pump and borehole pump.

DOUBLE OUCH!

Jeez, in our new crib we're doing R1000 every 10 days if we're lucky.

1/2 a can of cleaner, 2 ski socks as cloths (after 9 years I'm guessing I'm not needing my snow gear) and my fav 'old Deity Enokis grip and just that bit more ready to roll. Haven't had a DJ in aaaaggggesss. Must say I'm blerry stoked and frothing to go and try to break something at Uitsig. #26aintDead.

Something buttery for the Bin Chicken to bounce on.

New project... out with the Evil in with the Bin Chicken!

Some new additions to the stable...

Plastic fantastic! Let's see if you can keep them in one piece.

that is classic, I was in with Droo and Savage and they were saying that they were getting in some L sentinels and trying to twist my arm now I sold my Evil and Canyon and was frameless. They said someone scored a good deal now I know who. You'll have to join the Tranny thread now and I'll have to start my own Ibis thread. Maybe we should have a post Evil owners thread!

Has anyone bought GreaseMonkeys one?? Damn good deal.

I need to get me some new friends! Awesome looking bike, you're going to enjoy that.

The chips or the clothes?

UK: £2850 EU: €3199 around R54K / R55K overseas I heard they were going to be about R50 / R51k odd here as well. Better value in SA!

bike related and kinda bike related.

And of course.... the head angle of The Offering is 66.6!

Good call. I actually got a 2.3 aggressor to take to Europe but I can't bring myself to break with my Slaughter. Let's see how that goes on the rocks n dust of Ainsa.
