About Me
MTB obsessed serving british Squaddy.
Been living and breathing everything MTB since I picked up my first issue of MBUK in 1997.
Its been a rollercoaster since then.
I've embraced pretty much every MTB subculture at one point or another, but when it comes down to it, I say screw the pidgeonholing, I enjoy every discipline, I'm a mountain biker, nothing more nothing less.

8/6/2016 5:07pm
"Moto" is "traditional" over here, never put much thought into it before except for when ive had to swap hoses when importing. Couldn't imagine trying to ride other way round, but then i've no reason to mind you.

steve45 Added a reply to Where will we be in ten years?

4/1/2016 12:36am
I see evolution rather than revolution in the coming decade, MTB geometry suspension tech etc have moved on in leaps and bounds in the last decade, I can see things settling down, refinement is already happening and feel it will continue to happen for the most of the next 5-10 years. Carbonification of frames/wheels/components will filter down to lower price...

8/12/2015 2:17pm
Vanzacs is a strong shout! thats the life! I think i'd struggle to choose bewteen GStadt Scott and the Syndicate, I mean with Scott you have Cloudio Calouri as your boss, get to ride a Gamber and hang out with Brendog. With the Syndicate, you got so much experience to learn from with Peaty Minaar and Ratty and you got...

So good to see her back at the races, regardless of the result, she sure hasn't lost that talent and guts. If theres one thing this weekend has shown, it is I genuinely dont care how she performs, or even if she races or how she is involved, but all i do know is that I want to see her...

7/17/2015 3:02pm
Never even considered riding with Chamois, long distance or uplift, never had any issues over the near on 2 decades of riding, maybe my gooch just toughened up over the years, by tech underwear i assume you are refering to the undergarments that sometimes come packaged with trail shorts with lightly padded gooch? like a thin lightweight built in chamois...

steve45 Added a reply to Blacked out suspension graphics?

1/5/2015 10:43am
In my opinion, completely destickered looks cheap and nasty, but that stealth look black on black graphics looks the nuts! if you are interested in going down that route my suggestion would be to speak to Slikgraphics, releatively inexpensive custom graphics, very high quality vinyl decal kits, I've got a set of green decals for my Boxxers to tie them...

Cheers! I heard recently that they are working on sorting out a US distribution plan, so i'd imagine it'll be a lot easier to get a hold of one soon, YT are shooting themselves in the foot at the moment, the US/CAN is a HUGE market that they are not taking full advantage of.
