Dec 9, 2023Hope Pro 2 & Stans Flow wheels
$150 GBPHope Pro 2 & Stans Flow wheels. Pretty much the standard trail/enduro wheels from their year. Run smoothly, freehub services regularly. Were ran tubeless but currently have tubes in, come with tubeless valves. Fitted with Nobby Nic, rear tyre is a summer tyre so I've included a Maxxis Ardent too.
Will also include a set of front wheel boost adaptors so they can run on 15x100 or x110

GoPro Launches the Hero 11 Black & Mini
I've not seen a single solid youtube video comparing this, DJI's and Insta360's offerings to say "This is best for this.... this is best for this....."
I can't decide whether a Hero 11 (or mini), with or without the max lens mod is better than a DJI action 3 or an Insta360 RS (or X3) and whether or not a 360 camera is just generally a better option. Normal people can't try them all to make a decision, and 400 notes is a lot of cash to throw at something that you find out later doesn't work well for mtb'ing.

May 9, 2021Dartmoor Hornet
$150 GBP2015 Dartmoor Hornet. Ridden 8 times (genuinely, work and home life got in the way). Frame is in really good condition with some marks and blemishes from normal use. Examples shown in photos, and generally limited to cable rub, scratches from wheel being fitted/removed and very minor marks. Chain stay has some marking from being wrapped with an inner tube. 90% would polish out with a little effort, I'm just being genuine. Can only notice marks up close and it looks incredible from a short distance.
Paint colour is "petrol" and varies in the light as you would expect from that kind of colour. Not as extreme as the parts which come in petrol, it's more like a petrol tint to an anthracite dark grey. I'm going to see if I can find the same colour when I get my other bike painted!
26 or 27.5 compatible, 135x12mm rear axle, 31.6 seat tube (post included). Integrated headset (included) set up for 1-1/8 steerer, but would only need a different crown race to suit a tapered fork (bearing is for a tapered steerer). Axle included (not pictured, my bad), headset is purple and matches the frame nicely. Only the top cup is visible, so it's not too extreme. Internal dropper ready!
Ridden with a 150mm fork, which is amazing. Suits up to 160mm. I'm back on full sus, which is the only reason for sale.
Never jumped or crashed! Seriously good frame for all around riding.

Marin Wolf Ridge: First Ride
Directly compare this to an equivalent Orange bike. Both well made, well designed, but ends apart in terms of suspension complexity (and performance?).
Does the average rider really need this, or will a much simpler single-pivot operate to 90% of it's performance?
