n+1 The MTBs: Enduro: Downhill XC: (covered in cow shit!) pub: former xc bike which handled some big trails but it was bloody hard work, now a bit Frankenstein: carbon forks, larger chainset, and now sporting a dropper post to allow some clearance for the spuds. (paving slabs also now clean)
@DucatiScud internal cable routing: that was way ahead of it's time, and loving those forks too.. very cool! it's amazing how much the geometry has changed.
Nice bikes, when looking after so many years of not looking, amazed how things had moved forward in terms of tech and type
Yeah back then it was about cross country seems now it’s more gnarly man made trails. Liking your sussers need to buy an enduro for my lad for the local to me trails.
Must be 15 years old - Hayes brakes have an interesting design flaw where the rubber bung pops out randomly and your first sign of brake failure is hydraulic fluid on your hand
I’ve had my old Yeti for over twenty years but junior seems to have taken a fancy to it now. The elastomers in the forks turned to dust long ago but he doesn’t seem to mind.
I don’t want to age you but that must be closer to 30 years old bud, looks mint. replacement, looks like direct from Pace https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pace-Retro-Fork-Parts-RC35-Elastomer-Kit-/323384049837
