i would be careful about publishing peoples names sponsors names etc on an open forum bashing and slating people and events and organisers sounds like a lot like a medieval witchunt to me...

my ks lev 272 has been an awesome addition to my ride i find the 100mm drop more than adequate.. and it is one beautifully made bit of equipment the quality is second to none.. pricey i know but in the end you really do get what you pay for...

I found a very interesting article on the internet ... this guy really knew what he was talking about ... sheldonbrown.com \ wheelbuilding or something like that he really explains it in depth .......definitely worth a read before you get stuck in jus my 2 cents worth ....

This is also a brilliant bit of kit with helmets around costing more than double the money i think the IXS is gonna be tough to beat. although weighing in at around 350 grams it is a 100 grams heavier thay old helmet but offers far more comprehensive protection especially at the rear lower part of the skull.. ventilation and fit is excellent and was noticibly better than other helmets i tried.. wicked colours and the quality and finish and feel of the materials is awesome.. the biggest plus though is that my visibility has improved a lot one doesnt end up looking into the peak of the helmet when lookin infront of oneself and strain to look up especially after those loooong rides when one is tired. the peak also has a breakaway function should u take a tumble aswell as being removable should one wish to ride without it ... go on to the IXS website and see their story and their commitment to supply better kit at half the price of their competitors....

Has to be my KS LSV 272 dropper seat post.. amazing bit of kit incredible quality and engineering.. it has transfomed my riding... i am 185 tall 105kgs and have my seat high up so my centre of gravity is high.. with the 100mm drop on the seatpost i now smash those once before sketchy downhill technical bits
