aener Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 I've been really enjoying riding, so I wanted to start filming again and I've hated every second of it. I'll try and film something which sucks less when it feels more approachable. Rocks are fun, and so are big bikes, and it makes my spine not tear itself to pieces, which I have to say I generally view as a positive. Yes, the tanwall looks outrageously dumb, but it happens to work really, really well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aener Posted March 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 Thanks Harden Moor. Real damned fun. She's just retired for now on grounds of obesity. Switching to a 2.2kg Ashton frame lightened the bike by 800g The increase in stiffness probably makes more difference than the weight though, to be honest. It rides basically how I was hoping the DIY would, so my geometry estimations were a bit off, but glad I tried. I think the short chainstays feel nice but were actually making a few things harder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 Aahh. Does look fun up there. Makes sense about the frame. Really cool you experimented with it and it worked! Top marks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Sweet lil video that, rocks are awesome How are you finding dual disc? Tan wall looks all good and if it works that's all that matters right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guillermo M. Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 After all these years, it's amazing to see you still riding and filming. I've just got a nostalgic feeling with your video, good old days riding in the UK Ive enjoyed your video so much, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
