Orbea Announces Price Increases Due to Supply Chain Issues
I can tell you from personal experience container shipment rates have been insane. Just the shipment has gone from $2500 up to $15,000 for some I've moved. Then you've got various port and trucking issues. There have been times in the last two years when moving a container is literally 10x the cost of what it was pre Covid. That's just one small piece of the bike building puzzle.

Orbea Rallon M10 XL 29er Bike Shimano XT

$1950 GBP
2019 Orbea Rallon in size XL. This is the M10 spec bike with some upgrades. Invisi Frame wrapped from new! The bike is in good overall condition with the usual scratches and scrapes you’d associate with a bike ridden for a couple of years. The bike has recently had a £300 service which included a full strip and clean and new bearings throughout, full fork service, full brake bleed, full cable replacement and many other small tweaks. All running great. I’ve detailed the base spec at the bottom of the listing. The upgrades that I’ve made are as follows: - Maxxis Assegai front tyre in DD Maxx Grip Compound. IMO the best front tyre going, amazing all round. - Full Shimano drive train conversion! Picked the best bits of the Shimano range and it has an XT Rear Mech and XT Shifter. With SLX Cranks, chain and rear cassette. Changed about 6 months ago, plenty of life in it. - 170mm Descent Dropper post. There is a tiny bit of play in this but that’s been there since I bought it. Works perfectly. - Fox Kashima coated Uppers on the forks, upgrade from the blacks which was around £300 looks great and are silky smooth. - Nearly new Uber bike metallic brake pads, used on 3 rides! Overall in great condition with really very few issues. The most notable are a few small chips here and there, some dirt getting under the invisiframe on the seat tube and a tiny scratch to the fork uppers. HOWEVER, please note that as it’s right at the top of the travel the forks never actually compress to this point. So basically not an issue. 
The saddle has been replaced with just a standard Cotic one. The rest of the spec is as standard Frame Orbea Monocoque Race Carbon. Advanced Dynamics 150mm suspension technology. 29" wheels.Concentric Boost 12x148 rear axle. Pure Enduro geometry. Internal cable routing.

Review: Dakine's Thrillium Heavyweight Pants & Dewit Waterproof Apparel
I was a skeptica but after years of wearing random pants/shorts and jackets I forked out for some Endura gear. Great quality and super hardwearing. Knee pads fit well under them. The jackets are breathable too, which makes more of a difference than I expected. Didn't want to love the fancy gear but I do. Makes rides more enjoyable having decent stuff in my experience.

Review: Dakine's Thrillium Heavyweight Pants & Dewit Waterproof Apparel
Endura my man. Can't help the 36" lads but I'm a 32 X 34. And endura waterproof and mt500 trousers fit great. Totally agree on the point though. Fox stuff is the worst.

Incredible riding and edit. I think Max's edits are the most original coming out at the moment. Totally unique style.

Day 1 Tech Randoms: Fresh Bikes, New Tires, Rims, Shoes & Pedals - Andes Pacifico 2019
I own this bike, The tool is only used for constructing/deconstructing the linkage for service etc. No reason for it to be on there when riding, mines been in the box since it got it. No idea why he has it on there or why they’ve photographed it.

6 New Enduro-Ready Full Face Helmets Ridden & Rated
Gotta say that potentially the helmet wasn’t fitted properly or done up tight enough. Had a crash in my Pro Frame the other day. Full over the bars, at speed into a tree. The chin bar was the first point of contact and took all the force. It cracked in 3 places but my face was totally fine.
