Btwin I got for £300 through CWS :D which I obviously use for work too

Added Rockshox Recon, Raceface seat, Boardman handlebar and Tioga Blue Dragon tyre at the front for more grip

  • looks very nice if a bit clean!

    that front tyre is enormous, maybe it's the camera angle but there doesn't look much mud clearance between the tyre and the fork brace :)

    You are right, there isn't much gap and tyre does sometimes rub against the fork

    :D This weekend?
  • i have the same fork and agree there is not much gap, i run a maxxis 2.35 tyre at the front and there is not enough clearence for my mucky nutz fender. going to change to a 2.2 see if that helps out.
