My Canyon Torque EX at the top of Hooper Struve at Tidworth Bike Park
And part way down General Berminator
Like a few others, I didn't know about this. About an hour away from me and looking at your videos of the place I think I may have to have a trip down soon.And part way down General Berminator

Yeah I'd definitely recommend a visit. I went again today, so twice over the Easter weekend to prove how much I enjoy riding there! Thanks for bringing itto my attention
Finally cleared the road gap on the black run today but unfortunately my GoPro wasn't working, so looks like I'll be going back again next week to get it on video as proof.
It is quite chalky though so I'd avoid it in the wet. Even after the few showers yesterday it left the tracks pretty slippery this morning before the sun properly got on them.

Nice! Kinda got the Venge look to it too. Nice colours.
Don't fret that you haven't had it since Xmas, the weather's only just got good enough to take it out!
Thanks Jester. I was tempted by the Venge but you couldn't buy the frame set in the UK (in this colour combo). True enough - the weather hasn't been too great but this arrived just in time for a nice 90km in the sun yesterday.

Still very good, work well with Black Prince pads in my experience.Finally cleared the road gap on the black run today but unfortunately my GoPro wasn't working, so looks like I'll be going back again next week to get it on video as proof.

The Yeti SB-66 needed a partner to help out for xc duties, so I just added this to the 'n+1' fleet.
Carbon Cannondale Scalpel. Soon to be 1x10 and in due course converted to 650b and hopefully at sub 20lbs after a bit of further carbon titivation.
This is the Yeti btw...
Lovely looking Yeti. Carbon Cannondale Scalpel. Soon to be 1x10 and in due course converted to 650b and hopefully at sub 20lbs after a bit of further carbon titivation.

Curious if the rear triangle will have enough room to take the larger 650b wheel?

Thanks again. If alls well and good I am going to take a trip down on Thursday for a few hours, may be a bit wet and slippy but at least I will get an idea.Finally cleared the road gap on the black run today but unfortunately my GoPro wasn't working, so looks like I'll be going back again next week to get it on video as proof.

Arrived at lunchtime at home. Rode home on my other bike, pulled it out the box, fit bars and pedals. Take Reverb and saddle off other bike. Nice little clips under the top tube for the reverb hose. Rode back to work and home tonight on it. First thing I noticed is lack of gears with only 2 piddly chainrings, but riding flat lands isn't what its all about. Add said didn't come with a bash ring and picture didn't say it had a chain system either. Needs setting up, converting to tubeless and oodles of frame protector. Has a great big plastic guard under the downtube for rock protection. So, Spain in 3 weeks, here I come.

yes it will... obviously, you are not going to get a 2.25" in there, but a 2.1" racing ralph, or better still, thunder burt will fit nicely with room to spare.Curious if the rear triangle will have enough room to take the larger 650b wheel?
no such issues up front, thanks to the lefty fork.
i'm just living in hope that a pair might appear on ebay, as i'm too tight to pay the £400+ on a new pair.
