Review: Hope HB.916 - Better Late Than Never
No, nobody else does, it’s the best looking enduro bike on the market.

Review: Hope HB.916 - Better Late Than Never
You need to try the bike with the Ohlins coil, it’s sublime. Their early is zero difference in efficiency between this idler pulley and a normal bike, that’s all in your head as the chain barely covers a 3rd of the chainring. This is a sublimely executed modern enduro bike that is durable and made to the highest quality with a ride to match. Oh and nobody that owns one has any issue with tyre clearance so not sure where you get that from? My advice, try the same bike with Ohlins coil and a mullet setup with zero compression on the forks and a fast rebound.

Elite Finals Results from the Fort William DH World Champs 2023
Appalling and miserable cycle commentary on CGN+ which peaked with the “live from Glasgow” comment. FFS, Glasgow? Really? For the love of MTB bring back Warner and match him with someone like Cathro so there is humour, personality, knowledge and insight rather than that awful dross we were subjected to. While you are at it take a geography lesson and just stop all this last ever Fort William nonsense. Why would you ever get rid of THE even on the DH calendar?

Bikeyoke Revive 31.6 mm x 185mm
$125 GBPBikeYoke Revive dropper post 185mm x 31.6mm. Serviced by TF Tuned last year and not ridden since. Comes with triggy shifter.
The slider has slight wear of the anodising but TF examined it and say there is definitely no significance it’s just cosmetic.
The most reliable dropper out there and in perfect working order. They cost about £360 new so grab a bargain.
£150 Ono posted special delivery UK only

Review: Hope Union TC Pedals
@MillerReid: in truth I have the new Hope HB916 frame in order and wanted more Hope bling! But also I liked the idea of these ones ie Shimano style clip in but a cage that actually connects with your shoe. I also like having the Hope factory just 1 hour from my house if anything goes wrong and I am big on buying British at the moment as I like supporting local as well as doing something really green rather than bullshit pretend green to look cool. I have tried HT which looked great but were terrible (clip mech way too tight) and Crank brothers were a joke with their cleats made of cheese that last 2 mins, so expected the Hope to be very pretty overpriced and pointless bling but they are superb. The clip in and out is so smooth yet just as reassuring as Shimano.

Review: Hope Union TC Pedals
Shimano die hard here. Hate Crank Bros with their appalling cleats. Decided to go with Hope and they are superb, made to a very high standard. Who cares about the cleats, the Hope ones are very well made and work just like Shimano. I really like these pedals, I think they will last years.
