Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Been up on the Quantocks with a full range of bikes between us - an alloy, and a carbon hard tail, an alloy full bouncer, a fully rigid fat, and a full carbon full bouncer. Got blown clean off the ridge and retreated to the DH tracks in the woods. Slippery AF. Plenty of practice at short-notice dismounts and character now fully formed 😜

Went fat tyering on my crosser today, MrMegster had his plus. He coped far better than me with the rooty singletrack, but my lil crosser with semi-knobblies was epic in the mud and boggy fields 😍

Love the cx. Although I was back on me mtb tonight and it was much easier than the crosser ;-)

Carbon rims? One was certainly an Enve. Couple of Mtb rims from square edging, and a road rim from a pot hole. Just my preference to run ally.
