Forbidden Druid V2 with mullet chainstay and NEW parts

$2500 GBP
Selling my Forbidden Druid V2 frame, size S2, including a brand new front triangle, brand new seatstay, AND 27.5 chainstay to convert between 29in and 27.5in rear wheels. I bought this frame in Feb 2024. It came with a replacement seatstay due to a mark on the original, however following Forbidden's advice I kept using the original because it was deemed okay to use. I've put the new, unused one on for this sale. I recently also recieved a new front triangle due to an issue with the original one, so the buyer will be receiving a mostly new frame! There are 29in and 27.5in chainstays included for the asking price (however if you just want one, that can be arranged). I've enjoyed being able to switch between the two wheel sizes. The 29in one has had more use, so shows a couple of marks in the paint. The 27.5 has had very little use in comparison. The frame has a custom, full protective wrap so will stay looking nice for a long time. Included in sale: Full 29in frame Fox Float X shock 27.5 (mullet) chainstays 27.5 specific brake mount Rear Burgtec axle Frame downtube shuttle guard Cane Creek 40 headset Seatpost not included. Located in Llangollen, North Wales. Would prefer collection.

XCO Race Report: British XC National Championships in Tong
Spray from others racers' wheels is probably a big contributor. It's surprising to see few, if any, front mud guards though. I think I'd take the 100-150g weight penalty for a proper guard.

Review: DVO Topaz 3 Air Shock
Damn. It's like you were watching me all of last year. I experienced damper shaft wear, had to replace a damper body (cracked!), and experienced the pain of having to fit a new oil seal. The things that made me completely give up on this shock were the manufacturing inconsistencies and apparent random failures. The second damper body showed heavy wear on the anodising after a few months, where the first had none, on the exact same bike. When I suggested a manufacturing error they didn't seem to believe it possible. The damper wand cap was also either chemically welded or insanely tight from the factory. Never before felt like I was risking destroying a shock in disassembly. I torqued it back down to just below the recommended value to try to avoid a repeat issue and it seemed *okay*. The next time I had the air can off, I decided to check the damper cap hadn't loosened, I tightened it 1/16th turn and it started leaking oil. Overall a disappointing experience, which is too bad because it really was smooth in action.

HQ Tour: Suspension Tech International's NZ-Made Coil Shock
I know one of the oils DVO recommends for the Topaz is Motul 2.5w Fork Oil. ...as a result, I also recognised half a shelf of the stuff in the second-to-last photo in this article which made me chuckle.

Group Test: 14 of the Latest & Greatest Flat Pedals Reviewed
@BrambleLee: I'll be the second to say it. I was surprised by how quickly mine let water and dirt in, leading to surface rust on the axles around the bushing area, especially as they are a UK company that should take our crap weather into account in their designs. I had to replace the bushings after less than 6 months. They've needed more frequent services than the Superstar Nano Evos they replaced, but I folded one of those in half on a rock strike so I'd stick with the Burgtecs out of the two!
