Jul 25, 2025Transition TR11 Carbon XL 27.5
$1800 GBPSelling my DH bike as I just don't ride any more, can't even remember my last uplift day. Most of my time goes on motorbikes now, so seems a shame to have it sat here gathering dust. I built it a few years ago from a NOS frame (I don't remember the year) with a mix of new and used parts.
Condition is largely great, invisiframed from new but a few annoying stone chips in the small areas not covered. These are paint level only, not into the carbon.
The shock probably needs servicing but as far as I remember everything else works fine.
Have various spares I can include.
Transition TR11 frame, full carbon, XL, 27.5" wheel, full Invisiframe kit, Fox DHX2 Factory 550lb spring, internal routing foam used at all cable/hose contact points for minimum noise.
Cane Creek Slamset
Formula Nero C (firm spring fitted, medium also included)
DT Swiss FR560 on Hope Pro 2 rear, Stans Neo front, built with brass nipples, set up tubeless with Maxxis Assegai front, Michelin DH34 rear. Both have great tread, rear sidewall a little perished but hasn't caused any issues, both hold air great.
Formula Cura 4 brakes on Magura MDR-P 2mm rotors.
SRAM XO1 carbon crankset
MRP Carbon Chain guide and bash guard
SRAM GX DH 7 speed mech, shifter and cassette
Deity stem of some sort
Spank Spike Vibrocore bars
OneUp grips in the largest, softest flavour (the best for hand pain and arm pump)
An interesting seatpost and saddle.
Collection only from rural Northants near Towcester.
Let me know any questions and I'll try to get better photos

Video: Scott Ransom vs Orbea Rallon - Which Lightweight Enduro Bike Is Best?
@boozed: I won't eat the low salt and sugar ones (XC beans?) and some of the very cheap supermarket ones are like eating hand grenade shrapnel. All others are exactly the same and anyone who tells you otherwise is a filthy liar.

Tech Randoms: Val Di Sole DH World Cup 2024
If all you're doing is replacing a rim with a like-for-like ERD, you can also just use masking tape to hold the lacing pattern, remove all the nipples, pull the big 32-legged spider out and drop it in place in the new rim and put the nipples back through. Takes a fraction of the time

Jun 9, 2024Microshift Advent X 11-48t drivetrain kit
$100 GBPSelling my Advent X drivetrain as I am too weak and need lower gearing. Most of this was used for only a handful of rides, the cassette has slightly more miles on it.
Advent X long cage derailleur (some rub on the body, possibly from an uplift trailer)
Advent X Trail Pro shifter
Advent X 10 speed 11-48t cassette (some wear to coating, generally great)
SRAM PC1051 chain (a bit grimy but runs smooth)
It's a great, inexpensive and lightweight way of getting a wider range, all for under the price of a GX Eagle cassette
Collection from Newport Shropshire or van post for extra

Jun 3, 2024Ribble R872 Carbon 7.4kg 56cm
$1200 GBPBuilt this up last year while I had an injured wrist but never really found the enthusiasm to ride it so decided to sell it to someone who will actually ride it.
Mostly new or nearly new parts. The frame was second hand when I bought it, but only lightly used. The crank, derailleurs and seatpost are lightly used, everything else is/was new last year and not ridden since.
It hasn't had money thrown at it but it's still very light and some fancy wheels would take it under 7kg easily.
Nice mixed drivetrain completed in the intelligent way with SRAM mechs and shifters, Shimano crank and cassette and a KMC chain.
Proper racy machine and undoubtedly very fast although I wouldn't be the one to know.
Bare carbon frame weave on the frame and seatpost, offset with gold detailing. Classy? Maybe. Maybe not.
Ribble R872 carbon 56cm frame and full carbon fork
Prime Barodeur wheelset (new) set up tubeless with Vittoria Rubino Pro (new) tyres
Shimano Ultegra crankset - slightly used
SRAM Force 22 shifters - new but slightly scratched
SRAM Force 22 rear derailleur - used
SRAM Force 22 front mech - used
Shimano 105 cassette 11-32 - new
KMC X11EL chain gold - new
Token chain catcher gold - new
SRAM Force brakes - new
Ribble LEVEL carbon aero handlebars 42(?)cm - new
Prime comfort bar tape - new
? 100mm stem with gold bolts - new
Carbon headset spacers (of course) - new
Burgtec top cap (black) and bolt (gold) - new
FSA SL-K carbon seatpost (v long) - used
Whatever saddle you like, or none. Shown with a Fizik Aliante wide but I'd prefer to keep this.
Better photos when it's light outside, Ask me anything you need to know.
Gears need adjusting and other bits setting up

Jun 3, 2024X-Fusion Sweep HLR Roughcut 27.5 160mm
$200 GBPSelling my forks from my hardtail
Lightly used X-Fusion Sweep with the excellent HLR Roughcut damper.
160mm travel, adjustable internally to 140 or 120mm as I understand.
These were serviced by their previous owner and I've used them less than 20 hours since.
27.5" wheel size
Boost axle
Tapered steerer
High and low speed compression adjustment, plus rebound
Excellent condition, barely marked with a little annoying cable rub on the crown and a few sticker scuffs.
Still feel excellent and will be an excellent addition to someone's bike.
Collection from Newport I'm Shropshire or posted

Bike Check: Connor Fearon's Forbidden Supernought - Crankworx Cairns 2024
It's all personal preference, of course. To me they look rolled back to the point where the backsweep is below the horizontal, but I may be misinterpreting what I'm seeing. I never liked the Blacklabels anyway.
