Thanks Stefan, but I doubt I will be registering or even using the app, I see my friends, I know where that leads.
Endless choices of motor performance, suspension settings, it becomes far too large a part of their mountain biking experience, every fail is blamed on a setting or a part performance.
They have zero interest in exploring or anything outside of the built trail that they can use to repeat ride and test their adjustments.
Ive bought a vastly different bike to the fattie and Im going to learn how to ride it as it is.
Im far more interested in what Im riding in and over, the limitations and advantages of the fattie are very niche and can hinder and assist in unexpected ways that are far too subtle for them to bother with.
They are entirely commited to speed and the banter of win and lose, and my rides frustrate them because they cant measure a performance or improvement from them.
Brain did revert to the original guy who I toured Europe and offroad Wales with while we were in Devon , and I would put the 'band' back together, but the two core guys have long fallen out.
Anyway, Im going to try to get them together with an Isle of Man ride.
Ive bought this bike because its easier to ride over a wider range of terrain and has a better range for more adventurous rides Im planning.
This is Brian and I on the Enduros back in 1998 during TT week in the IOM.
We rode every inch of every trail and I hope to recreate that on the emtb.
