I'll have to ask the guy who owns the go pro to upload and share the link.

Col De Coux ridge line.

Totally mental! The bikeparky stuff was cool but not my cuppa, then we got stuck into some Morgins tight, steep, tech and I was in heaven! We also did a sick outride on the second to last day up to a ridge line in switzerland where ski lifts don't go. We must have climbed for an hour and a half to get up there. The ridge line was easy trail with mad sheer drops on both sides! Once we started descending off the ridge line we got into rough natural rooty rocky trail which is the best trail I've ever seen or ridden! 30 minutes of natural tech descending towards Champery.

The 2015 trip has already come to an end (19th July to 31st July). If you are interested in 2016 the dates are 2nd July to 16th July and 30th July to 13th August. p.m. me for Duane or Karls contact info if you need it.

There is one of these in our chalet. Pictures do this frames lines no justice!

Not sure if I want to see the price for that Ohlins judging by the price of their coil shock for the enduro

The sidewalls are pretty thin. For a front tyre I have found the control to be sufficient. I do expect to go through sidewalls though. I'm at peace with that. I was looking for the grid a few months ago and absolutely no luck even through a sneaky mate or two. They hadn't landed yet and to be honest I'm not sure if they have yet.

Awesome tyre! I got my bike with a butcher up front, had no issues and it gripped well. I changed to a 29x2,5 minion, I just cannot keep the front from washing out! they do have very similar tread paterns. The minion washing out must be due to a different compound to the butcher.

Looks Sllick!

Vat only, I bring in tyres from time to time. should be placing an order soon. takes 2 to 3 weeks to get stock though.

I had mine at 2 bar a few weeks ago and burped it from 2 bar to flat in one shot which ended in a spectacular scorpion whip at the feet of a not too bad looking timing chick. About an hour later I burped it again on jeep track... I have the maxxpro tubeless ready dhf with exo protection running tubeless on a rim with a 29mm inner width.... Before i put the dhf on i ran a spaz butcher control (thin ass side walls) at 1.7 bar and it was sweet! I'm not too fussed about the bikes weight, I have allot more weigh to lose than my bike does...

Ya nee.... I wouldn't put a pacestar near the front of my bike... I tried a 26 X2.35 pacestar HD on the front once upon a time. Yes I tried different tyre pressures... It was terrible. Enjoyed it as a rear tyre though.

If I could get the HR2 in 29x2,4 or 29x2,5 I'd put one on the front over a DHF

What I was trying to say was, look at the high roller 2. Lighter, rolls faster and when lent over it has just as much if not more grip than the DHF (my opinion). Another tyre to look at is the Spaz Butcher, it is very light, rolls fast but has thin side walls. The tread pattern is similar to the DHF but less aggressive. When I had the Butcher on the front a few weeks ago not once did I think I could do with more grip nor did the tyre make me think about rolling resistance. Now with the DHF I find myself constantly thinking (on any terrain that isn't down) about rolling resistance and also looking for more grip. I do feel that I might not be fair in comparing the two as I probably had the butcher inflated to the sweet spot where I have only had a few rides on the DHF and still trying to find the correct PSI.

Before you jump at a 2.5 dhf, have a good look at the high roller 2. I had a 2,35 high roller on the jekyll and that tyre was the business! I actually preferred it to my current 2.5 dhf on the spaz. That being said, the dhf and I are still getting to know each other.

Super keen!

Got me some supplies and upgrades. Some bits in there for mates as well.

Ordered myself a set of O'neal Knee pads from a not so local supplier.

Why didn't you just ride?

Hens teeth though...

The ride sidewinder is talking about was the last time I used a Specialized tyre (about a year or two ago) until last weekend, in the first 1hour of last weekends ride I put a nice snake bite into a Specialized Slaughter... Specialized make tyres that roll and grip very nicely, their side walls are where the problem is!

Tubeless ready

Just ordered myself a 29x2,5 Minion DHF. Pretty stoked to give it a try!

From my experience. DO NOT run a pacestar up front! Grip is non existant!
