I bet he'd be faster/more comfortable on an XC bike though!

Identical to 22:15

As in chainstay length?

I've always seen Supermoto as the opposite of that though- big softly sprung dirtbikes that can hang with the road bikes on the hard stuff but I get your point. To be fair I can imagine that a road rider who also does CX in the off season being in a far better position bike-control wise than someone who's never been on mud. I guess in the same way that MotoGP riders often ride dirt track or MX over the winter.

As mentioned elsewhere on the forum I'm now running 24:17 on my Arcade and it works out right between 22:15 and 22:16 which is just perfect for me. And JE James still have the Raceface 24T rings for £5.49.

Not trolling by the way just genuinely don't understand why we have XC bikes if a CX was better and if an XC bike is better then why does CX exist?!

Mainly the too big frame, drop bars, geometry, tyre width, wheel strength, brake/gear position/accessibility and the fact it'd be designed to work off road rather than being (from what I can tell having never ridden a CX bike) a road bike with slightly off road tyres...

Send them the bill for fixing the lock. If they ignore it remove the cost from your next rent payment (assuming you rent). That soon gets their attention. Worked to get my old landlord to sort out the security of our garage!

But would you not have been quicker/better off on a lightweight 29er hardtail say? As Mike says it just seems like CX is using the wrong tool for the job...

White stem and black bars would be first choice then black stem and white bars if you must!

What's the wing made of to split like that?

Nope and probably won't (even through less legal means). I've probably only actually seen the very first one (i.e. original, original) all the way through and never saw any of the Ewan McGregor trilogy ones at all. Does nothing for me really. John Wick rocks though

Did you see he won the $20,000 GoPro competition with the original one?

Cyclocross actually makes me slightly angry and annoying fixie videos definitely does.

I think Dann∞'s beard and anal fixation has scared most people off.

Ah fair enough. Yeah I've never really understood hard soft tops... Enjoy!

How come it looks like the roof doesn't actually fit at the back? Doesn't seem to be sitting right on the passenger side...

Does not compute.

I kind of committed myself to this 2015 to the point where I used the missus eBay to get the bid to the reserve then outbid her to win it! The Chris King wheels and pimp colour matched rock shox stickers stung it for me! Will get some pics up once leisure lakes get me my charge spoon in limited edition green and black instead of the stealth they sent me! I'd never consider buying one new but second hand out made far more sense. Especially with 26 months 0% on the old credit card!

2015 Whyte T-130 Works SCR picked up on the 24th .

Yeah, Elite Access is his company's name. That makes sense- I don't think I'd ever go non dual disc anymore either!

Bessell's selling his Hex... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161929307867?ul_noapp=true

Ok so after much contemplation I've just collected a 6 month old whyte t130 works scr complete with Chris King wheels. Keep looking at the canyon but the lead times on the spectral were long (delivery early May) and my contact with customer services in the UK seemed to consist of some bike illiterate person looking at the pictures on their website rather than actually helping. No thanks.

Nope. You're physically higher but it makes very little difference to basic balance etc. Your feet might be like a mod with a +146mm BB but remember the height of the bars. A mod with a +146mm bb would need to have a 250mm x 40 degree stem or whatever to make it possible to ride (which would make it fine to balance- though still horrible to ride!).
