Bossnut Riders

Hey guys,
Thought i'd open up a thread and see who else got themselves a Boss.
have had mine about 2 weeks and am loving it. Upgraded tyre's and a dropper, and fitted Nano-x pedals from the get-go from my hardtail and haven't looked back.
Bit of tinkering with the pressures in the fork and shock to get it just so, already contemplating changing the Monarch R to something with a bit more adjustment, but thats for later in the year!

I normally do about 50 miles a week on mine, using Strava I've set some quick times on local green lanes. I'm 5th on an uphill cyclocross section. Although the fastest time is 3 minutes quicker.
For me, it could do with a lower gear ratio (as I have one or two steep tricky climbs) and a better rear shock. But everything else is great.
PS I've added a dropper post, a bend into shape front mud gaurd, and ditched the tube adding sealant to go tubeless.
Which dropper you gone for Dave? I'm looking at changing up to a LEV 125mm soon, currently got an eTen 100mm, and haven't got around to tubeless yet. Did you need rim tape or just the valve?

Hehe I know, my photos are on Google Drive. Sharing them on this site is just a pain in the ......Had to move them from Google Drive to PhotoBucket then get code to drop here. There must be a way to display them straight from Google drive?
Yeah it's not that aggressive, think they have kept it within safety margins, to cut down on H&S paper work lol.
It's about on par with every other trail center black, you've always got the freeride section if you want non-rollable features. Not a fan of Llandegla but that's not fair criticism.
Thread needs more photos!
Orange 5 AM Custom
Blade at Afan is only graded red and I'd say that's a good step up in difficulty from Llandegla black.
Bikepark Wales blues are more technical, the blacks are on a whole different level and still a step down from black downhill trails, like the ones at Gawton, Revolution or Antur Stiniog.

Used to be a 3 foot drop at the end of the freeride at Llandegla but it was removed due to too many accidents.
Orange 5 AM Custom
Last time I was at Llandegla someone was having a ride home in an ambulance, they were being collected from a fire road at the bottom of an indicated Black run.
Image if you just let anyone loose on this run, you could probably build a hospital at the bottom of the run.

Black trails shouldn't be inclusive for everyone. They should be tough and they should be kept for those with the skills to enjoy.
I also enjoy rock climbing. There are routes which would be certain death for me (not an exaggeration) but I don't want to chisel holds in to them. If I want to get up them I'll train for them. For now, I'll leave them for others to enjoy.

I'm planning on getting some of my pics on tonight when i get home and i get time (bloody kids...)
Was sure there'd be more Boss riders around though.
