May 17, 2026Mondraker Crafty Carbon Andreani Bashguard VVGC
$65 GBPAndreani Bashguard for Mondraker Crafty Carbon R/RR/XR/RR-SL 2025/2026 - in Black Aluminium
I imported this from Ridewill in Italy as there is no UK distributor of these, and paid way over £100 with the VAT and shipping, so grab this hardly used example for a bit of a bargain! I couldn't find a better bashguard available in the UK, so had no choice.
Comes with the fitting hardware that uses the existing threads (the bashguard fits over the existing plastic guard) but uses the supplied longer bolts and washers.
Mostly immaculate, just a couple of tiny scuffs evident in the pictures. Removed from my Crafty XR after just a handful of rides as I have now sold the bike.

Sep 24, 2025Orange Phase EMTB, Custom Bld Sz L, NEW FRAME, 2 Batts
$3100 GBPOrange Phase 27.5 EMTB full Custom Build *amazing spec* British Racing Green Size L BRAND NEW FRAME, Just 350 Miles on the odometer.
New front triangle straight from Orange, just been built up & never ridden (original suffered a hairline crack at the shock mount, pics available). The frame was replaced and rebuilt no quibbles by Orange themselves under warranty. In (IMO) the best colourway for this hard-charging British bike, British Racing Green!
The rear triangle was invisiframed from new, so it is virtually unmarked. The film has now been removed for sale.
Just 350 miles on the EP801 motor and less on most components. Drivetrain has done less than 100 miles.
Fork: Fox 38 Factory 180mm Grip2.
Shock: Formula Mod, MRP Progressive Coil, 450 x 5.27 x 2.55 spring (works amazingly on the linear frame to make it more coil compatible). This is the shock that was used on the Orange Factory team bikes in the EWS, and by Josh Bryceland at Hardline! Spring weight is perfect for my riding weight of c.90kg.
2 x Shimano BT en806 630wh quick swappable batteries (both with colour-coded covers)
Shimano EP801 motor, just 350 miles on the odometer, latest firmware versions on all components.
Brand new SC EM8000 display (still covered in the factory protective film)
Shimano EC-E6002 mains charger.
Full XT Linkglide 11-speed transmission, less than 100 miles on a new cassette and chain. This wears FAR better than other drivetrain options on an ebike & the thicker chain makes it stronger too. Who needs 12 speeds when you have a motor. Incredible linkglide shifts under power too, which are a bonus.
Brakes: Hope Tech 4 v4 with hope braided hoses, ebike specific purple pads front and rear. 220mm rotor on the front, 200mm rear.
Rear wheel: DT Swiss FR541 27.5/Hope Pro 5 ebike-specific hub
Front wheel: Hope Fortus 30W/Pro 5 27.5
Tyres: Schwalbe Magic Mary Addix soft super gravity (brand new rear just fitted)
Headset: Hope (Hope 4-Top Stepdown ZS49/28.6, Hope F-Bottom 1.5 Traditional EC49/40)
Stem: Burgtec Enduro Black 42.5mm
Seatpost: SDG Tellis 170mm
Seatclamp: Strange Bolted
Saddle: SDG Strange Bel Air III
Pedals: Negotiable, as I rode crankbros mallet enduros on this bike, which I appreciate is unusual for an ebike rider! I can dig out some flats if you'd like, or you can fit pedals of your choice...
Bad points - some tiny scratches to the LH stanchion of the fork. I can’t feel anything with my fingernail, there's no oil leaking, seals are unaffected, and I got the okay at the last service. If this bothers you, Dave at RSF suspension will replace the whole stanchion for £175, I had this done on my 36s on my trail bike, but never bothered here as the fork functions perfectly.
A tiny paint chip and a rub on the swingarm but these aren’t really noticeable, the frame essentially looks brand new (and the front triangle is).
Marks on the other components are consistent with use as intended.
This bike is an absolute weapon. Bulletproof, progressive geometry, fitted with top-class components, everything has been checked over by Orange & dialled when they rebuilt it. Selling due to an injury with long-term consequences and not needing a bike of this capability. Comes with the balance of the 5-year frame warranty, which is just under 3 years. I'll be happy to assist with any future warranty issues if receipts etc are required.
Due to the weight and value as well as the two batteries, I won’t be shipping this; collection only from near Chepstow, so it's really easy to access from M4/M5 and right near some great riding!
Any questions give me a shout on here and we can have a chat or I can do you a video walkround of the bike.
Cheers

First Look: The Haibike TRN/IQ is Powered by the Pinion MGU
A haibike that hasn't been absolutely battered by the ugly stick. Still ugly but not haibike ugly.

Video: UK's Biggest Bike Park Opens New Black DH Tech Trail
It will be mostly deserted like all their decent black runs are, excessive traffic hopefully won't be an issue. Middle management golfer types prefer Sixtapod.

World Cup Coverage to Cost £30 a Month With Shift to WBD's TNT Sports in the UK & Ireland
Fuck WBD. Fuck the UCI. I have TNT included as part of my EE contract, but this is the death of live DH as we know it. Get on with it Redbull/Warner, we need a Hardline series NOW! I would happily pay for that, give us chance to subscribe for a reasonable amount to cover your setup costs, cut out the middle man, legacy media is dead anyway!

True that. Also becoming the capital of this sort of guff.

Mar 18, 2024MRP Progressive Coil Spring 450lb+, 135 x 65mm
$50 GBPMRP Progressive Coil Spring 450lb, 135 x 65mm / 5.27 x 2.55in, 38mm ID fits all brands (some require spacers).
MRP Progressive springs fit shocks of any length with 50 - 65mm of stroke. Progressive springs increase ending-stroke support by approximately 20% over linear coil springs - allowing them to be used on frames previously requiring the progressive nature of air suspension.
Please note for use on non-MRP brands you may need a spring spacer kit due to the inner diameter of the spring, details can be found in the table with the photos.
I advise checking the total available spring length on your shock if you have a stroke length of 57mm or less.
This spring is in very good used condition at a massive saving over new. A couple of small marks but still looks very smart and no rust.
