Nice that. Great all rounder.

Yeah so is losing your testicles when it snaps. Ouch!

Tbh I am a person that normally avoids carbon wherever possible.

Saw this happen a few years ago on a Chinese carbon post. Never seen it happen before. Taught me a lesson to never buy any cheap carbon bits that would result in a horrendous failure.

Put some new pics up dude.

Looks perfect. It's great anyway but the forks really make it a 10/10.

I use 50 x 15 (90) which is a good outdoor gear for pretty much any track. Go up slightly indoor. I wouldn't go below 88 personally. If you're used to spinning I think you may find it getting easier as you build strength. It's always a compromise of acceleration, keeping a steady RPM during the race and not spinning out come the sprint.

I would send it if were you and get them done.

Sorry man will try and get pictures this evening.

I had a quick look at the Yari forks and I wouldn't want to sell them without servicing them. I'm not sure what they are like as I didn't use them for very long and its been well over a year since they were on anything.

IMHO the 150mm 35s are ideal in it.

Looks good, love the cranks. I say no to suspension forks but it's up to you, I think they ruin the aesthetic. Straight rigids if you have to change the forks.

SFAB?

This has turned out great. Better than what I envisaged it would look like.

Dropper post are one of the best inventions in mountain biking. Disc brakes and droppers changed the game. If you disagree you are wrong.

People that have issues with them don't look after their bikes, don't use them enough or are unlucky. Only get mechanical forget about hydraulic.

Plus it isn't about getting rad it's all about having fun and flowing through a ride without constantly having to stop start.

Don't forget the Roach knee/shin pads.

Going for a bit of Eastern European freeride? Bike is looking great by the way. Can't beat a doing it all hardtail for all round riding.

Yeah his MK4 was cool.

I couldn't live without my dropper now, don't know how you could have one then revert back ha.

Only have the one picture. Was a few years ago when I owned it.

2.6 butcher had a fair amount of clearance with a mud hugger fitted as well.

Would you post the trail gator or is it too big? Cheers

Why did you ditch the dropper?

Do you know Matt Lakin. I loved what he was doing on his Mk4. He let me have a little go on his dirtbomb last year as well.

Which one is that? Amazing how much track days are.

I need to check the Yaris as I haven't used them in a while. TBH I can't even tell the difference between 150 and 160mm when I'm riding and I use all the travel on the forks.

In a Oner, non stop?

Get some more MK4 pics up. Only ever had a MK1 but it was nice. I do fancy trying to find a used MK4.

Yeah too boring. I put FZR but I mean YZF sorry. They are on my mind as I have been looking at an FZR600 recently but it's in Scotland. Ha.

Like he said I bet the brake upgrade will see the biggest difference to the rider. I think unless the suspension is shot you would be better off spending that money on track days.

Was at a work meeting at Oulton park a couple of days ago and in all the classes there were chaps on Adventure bikes near the top of all the groups. Goes to show what time on the bike gets.

What are these bars please?

It will take 150mm or 160mm. I think the 35s can be taken up to 160. I have a set of 160 Yaris as well.

I will amend the thread but its 29er, can take 27.5 plus and the fork is 150mm.
