Love it. 2x10 SRAM X9, with Guide RS brakes, with a dropper post on the way !!!

Can't believe how much better/quicker it is on rough stuff, even on the flat (e.g. canal). Will do some real off road when the docs say so !!

Don't mention dropper posts near @dan_bo

Looks spot on for a trip to Llandegla

As soon as I'm mended I'll be doing a bit in the Peaks then Llandegla. I picked up a brand new dropper for £75 via Ebay (Wiggle were the sellers) as it had a mark on the post. It's just for the silly steep stuff.

I can't believe how good hydraulic discs are, so incredibly light.

oh! I could read what it said then. Very nice, well thought of the Boardman's.

My B'Twin Rockrider 560 (I think that's what you call it!)

Not particularly impressive, but I bought this last year for when I want to just have a trundle about on the local Bridleways and Byways rather than have a 'proper' ride on the crosser. It's a Giant Talon 2, first MTB I've bought for probably 20 years and given the lack of challenging terrain round these parts, a short travel HT is ideal.
