You can’t beat a steeper seat tube for climbing a long travel bike. I also think if it’s built for a dropper post, there’s need to be room for a bottle cage. And the long seat tubes aren’t needed in the long dropper era. Shame as Radon where pretty forward thinking a few years back.

And if you want to get really weird, you can run an 11 speed SRAM shifter with a 12 speed SRAM eagle derailleur so the derailleur accepts the big range cassette. Wonder if you can mismatch Shimano shifters and derailleurs, too.

I have a MRP Bartlett and it is the best fork I have owned. Stays up in its travel and feels very plush. I really like having a direct mount stem. I have no idea what the weight is I know my size large Evil Insurgent with the Bartlett, coil shock, DD casing tires and cush core front and rear is 35lbs, which is pretty good considering it’s a sturdy build. Only complaint I have is the crown stance is a little narrow which does make some tight turns a little difficult. A Fox 40 has a much wider crown...

Skull valve caps. Can't afford? Dice or bullet ones are also good.

Oakley helmet has the same system using silicone channels. I used it for a few rides, and it worked to an extent, but I felt like it made me sweat? I've swapped to the pad now as it feels more familiar. Nice lid though...

I have also run Butchers F and R. DHF too. I liked both combos and can't think why I changed. I guess it's all about getting bored, first when you're at home on the internet and reading reviews and 2. out on the trail. The trails change a lot in the UK throughout the year, so that may be a...

This is my next set of tyres I think. I’m just trying to decipher what compound for the front would work for me. I’m thinking Gum-x because I’m heavy
