Secret to cornering: lean the bike, not the body

Does hiking count? Durston X-mid 2. Been eyeing this tent for a while. Ordered Tuesday, landed today. Awesome service by Kaviso

I use an orange 2003 Camelbak Mule that just wont die. I think I replaced the bladder once #Milton. For shorter rides, I prefer my hip pack, a Camelbak Repack.

Has anyone tried Microshift Advent X 10 speed groupset? If I could find stock last year, I would've taken the gamble.

Was married to a redhead....🙄 I prefer my Cane Creek

Australian cattle dog🤣

Didn't use the bike, but did a solo overnight hike on Stellenbosch Mountain

My first choice will be: https://www.marinobike.com/product/custom-hardtail-mtb-bike-frame/ and get them to custom build a frame to your specific geometry requirements using standards that will accept the parts from your current bike (seat-post diameter, headtube length, wheel spacing, etc.) And then solid alternatives: https://www.cotic.co.uk/product/BFeMAX (they have small frames available) https://production-privee.com/collections/frames/products/shan-gt-explorer-frame https://www.pipedreamcycles.com/products/frames/ (The Moxies are LOOOONG) https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/FROOBD/on-one-big-dog-29-mountain-bike-frame You can also look at which Chromag frames are available on Jenson USA.

On-one Hello Dave, et al Marino Bike - custom geo handmade in Peru,https://www.marinobike.com/product/custom-hardtail-mtb-bike-frame/ (From $280) Pipedreams, and Production Privee might be north of your budget,,, But I've also seen some Cromags within budget on JensenUSA (https://www.jensonusa.com/Chromag-Wideangle-Frame-2021)

Thanks! Coming from an artist like you, that's a huge compliment. I just mikked and drukked 🙂

Early morning Jonkers ride

At 158 he might just fit on an older model medium Santa Cruz Bronson. My GF fits on my Medium SC 5010 (2015 model) with the 125mm dropper slammed. She's about 160. Ibis caters for smaller riders as well.

Also check Marino bike for a custom built frame. I've seen a Marino full suspension in Jonkers and it looks GOOD. Don't think you can beat the value from them. Might be a bit of a wait. https://www.marinobike.com/product/custom-hardtail-mtb-bike-frame/

Agreed. I, a hobbit, was in the never 29er camp. My new bike is a long travel trail 29er, but corners better than my 2015 Santa Cruz 5010 650b. And it's poppy and fun. My laaitie will probably fit on it before he's tall enough to stand over on the 5010. But... I'd like to ride an up to date geo 650b at some point again, maybe a transition scout. Just to compare.

Another spanner in the works: "Huur gaat voor koop." Once registration is complete, you will not be able to cancel an existing rental agreement(s), but you will have the right to receive rent as owner of the property. But that is my memory from 1996 property law. How this will work in practice with occupational interest is quite interesting????‍♂️... Ping Harryn...
