@cotic-bikes: Pointing the finger at Strava is too simple. Riders have alway looked for new trails using whatever tools are available to them. Strava is just one tool. There are loads I have use dover the years. Besides shouldn't a trail be for everyone or no-one? As someone who has ridden those same Peak District trails as you for longer than you've had a bike company and longer than Strava has existed the increase in traffic is not just down to one bit of technology. I have a web site with Peak District routes on it and you actively promote riding in the area to help sell your bikes - if there is a problem we are part of it too.

My X01 laste less time than the RaceFace :(

My last set failed with ye olde pedal insert issue just after the warranty ran out and also about the same time as 2 sets of carbon SRAM cranks failed :( I managed to get one set of SRAM cranks warrantied (even though they were slightly out of warranty) but no joy on the RacFace ones :( I have invested in Shimano alloy cranks as replacements. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5lMk3inTOu/ to see my woes. Anyone after an X01 crankset brand new, boxed get in touch...

Regular post ride lifting of 20oz* of fluid from table level to mouth level always helps. * that is the correct size for a pint friends over the Atlantic! ;)

The split aprt photo doesn't look too complex... So is it easily user servicable with no dicking about with oil levels, bleeding etc?

Ditto!

@v7fmp: Cheers. Yeah the variety of trails and climate for such a small island is amazing! I was riding my Trek Slash
