  • Make sure you shave her armpits regularly. You know what these German women are like ;)

    she'll be groomed regularly.

    well there's plush and there's plush, such a lovely smooth ride.
    when.the rear shock is fully open, it Bob's a lot on climbs, but to be expected I guess?
    point it down.hill and it comes alive. brilliantly confidence inspiring .

    My 160 ltd arrived today, did yours come with a type 2 rear mech? Mine had a type 2 mech and reverb stealth that weren't listed on the website spec

    it says type 2 and roller bearing clutch on it and has a cage lock button. Mine only has standard Maxxis Ardents, I want tubeless so I'm going to have to invest

    Just going on official weights it looks like I could save 350 grams by going tubeless, tempting but do I need new tyres when I have brand new ones :lol:

    on my 29er i've always used normal tyres on tubeless rims, tubeless.
    its not rocky round here so very small chance of splitting a sidewall

    I've only ever had punctures from thorns anyway and very few of them so it should be a good move going tubeless

    had my first outing today, the gears feel so good and it climbs/ pedals really well given the travel

    I've always been a Shimano fan but my opinion might well change, the type 2 mech is really useful when it comes to putting the rear wheel in as well

    I've never had sram before, the shifting is great but the shifters take a bit of getting used to

    I take it you mean using your thum for both shifts, it's the way forward IMO and I've shifted like that since shimano introduced 2 way release. It means you can always be covering the brakes

    What were they? My 2011 SLX shifters have 2 way release. Means you can either push or pull to shift to a higher gear.

    On Beyonce i use shimano compatible ones thinking about it, Sunn i believe? and Deore on Shakira.
    Probably why i've never noticed it before LOL

    I forgot to add, i have bought a Mucky Nutz Bender Fender to bang on tonight, should be easy enough but the DT Swiss forks are like my Manitou's and are backwards lol

    I run a 2011 SLX shifter on my Inbred and it's a dual thumbie option thing! As has previously been said, it's much better for covering the brake and still being able to change gear.
