Nah that's mine!

I would really like to see Nukeproof bring back the anodised finish for the new Mega and Pulse. It's so much better than the paint.

On photobucket, the little box has an IMG tab which if you click it, automatically copies the link to your clipboard. It is specifically for forums so yours is:


i tend to take the URL part off the tag though, so it goes like this:

It doesn't really matter but i think it looks better without the blue line underneath.

That's cool, thanks very much!

Loving all the Megas!

Just a couple of questions to the guys with 2013/14 bikes;
How are the High Roller 2 tyres? If you have experience with Minion DHF how do they compare in terms of rolling resistance and Grip?
Also, how do the RS Pikes ride on the Mega frame? I'm tempted to get a set to replace my Lyriks at some point this year, just wondering if they are worth extra dosh and if you get full use of the adjustments available?

Myster101

The Pikes are great, so smooth over the chattery bits and the bigger hits. Easy to set-up then just forget about them and let them do their job

The High Rollers have been good so far, bit sketchy on wet rocks but then aren't they all. Found myself running the rear at a slightly higher pressure than my old Advantage as it felt a bit draggy but the trails are pretty boggy at the moment so will see how it goes when things start to dry out.
