Or maybe it just was bad luck Attention some times shit happens

The wheel was already well hammered, it did well to last as long as it did.

I wish I could run lower pressures like all the light weight guys but I love my pizza too much. lol
Lower than 40 = dented rims. Cry

If you are looking, these guys are great. They have cut one specifically for the frame and they can fit it for you as well if you need.

I heli taped my Wicked from new and it's still looking great 18 months later, worth the hassle I reckon

So set your suspension up to compensate for you tyres. You have three suspensions, body, tyres, shock/fork they should all transition smoothly into each other.

I run my tires tubeless at approx 25-30 psi. i just make sure ym suspension is tuned in nicely and stay loose on the bike.

but then sometimes you cant help it and your going to smash one in, all depends massively on your technique. all personal preferences at the end of the day and i choose to run mine lower to aid in traction and rolling speed.

He's got a point! I run 40psi in my tyres but suspension relatively soft but very progressive.
Works for me but everyone's different

LTD Tues has arrived.

First impressions of the build quality is good, certainly no worse than I've had from the big brands. Although the HT badge is a little off centre.

My HSR adjuster on the fork was jammed tight though. After a quick disassembly and some work with a socket, I have it freed up and fixed now.

I've only had time to sit on it and have a quick bounce, so no ride impressions yet but the size large frame certainly doesn't feel massive for me at 5'10".

Im 5'11" and went for the medium? feels brilliant though, i like a flickable bike, and as our height is the on the border of medium to large, i chose smaller.

I feel the paint work will scratch relatively easy so ive got an invisiframe set in matte. Rode mine last sunday and was awesome, straight out the box. going to fiddle with the sus this weekend, hopefully no problems with it like you had. They did forget to send me my pedals with the bike though, no questions asked and 3 days later they turned up! Excellent customer service!

Bikes beautiful though aint she!?

I don't think pictures really do the bike justice, I have it stood next to my Demo at the moment and the YT puts it to shame. It's a very nice looking bike. Little touches like the internal cable routing on the seat stay would fool you into thinking this was a premium priced frame.

It's a shame regarding the matte paint, it really could've done with a clear coat over the top for protection & for that reason alone I'm probably going to order an InvisiFrame kit for it.

I could easily have made do with the medium frame at my height but I wanted a longer/bigger bike than my medium Demo.
