It was brilliant perfect amount of travel for the trails I did. You have to use the uplift at Dyfi as there is no specific e bike climb to the top. Cheers 👍

🤣 top points for figuring out how TH-cam works pal. Oh wait a minute....

Yep 👍 there's something round every corner trying to put you on your ass 🤣

@@OfftheTopMTB 🤣🤣🤣

I like the idea of giving Dyfi a go! But then it always looks like it wants to kill you on vids!

@@chunkyantmtb 😁She's a savage mistress that's for sure mate !

The Wrekin

@@OfftheTopMTBwhat country

England

@@OfftheTopMTB k thx

You can go quite slow 😃

It's definitely a big step up isn't it? I think if your an average trail centre rider you could get caught out 👀

I think there is some trails fine for the average Joe but not many. Suppose it depends on how comfy you are on the steep stuff. You and Phil always do well there 🤟

​@@OfftheTopMTB passenger mode is quite effective! 😂

😂😂

That's quite an interesting point, makes sense. Maybe I'm feeling the same 🤔

Yea that's what I was thinking, I'm left foot forward and struggle going right...think there's something in it.

@@OfftheTopMTB definitely true. Try leaning more forward on these. Made a difference for me.

Yea something definitely needs to change, she's a steep trail though but I should definitely be able to ride it better than I did

Yep 💯

Mad ain't it, I've got a bit of a theory though...are you right foot forward ?

@@OfftheTopMTB yep

You ruined my theory there mate 😂. I was thinking it's a left foot forward finds left handers easier and right foot forward finds right handers easier 🤔

😂😂😂 I was very nearly one of them mate

you did the correct thing tho 🤟

@dodgymtbknee yea, need to get back and just practice it over and over 👍

My thoughts exactly...cheers dude 👍

Cool story bro, they have nowt to worry about, no one watches this vids anyway 🤣

👍

😂😂😂 cheers dude

Not to my knowledge matey, there all pretty easy to find though. Climb up from the ramblers retreat, you'll come across about 6 trails. Then there's loads near Hawksmoor too.

@@OfftheTopMTB do you follow the river up away from the ramblers to get to the start of the trails? I think I need a guided tour round there 😂

@steveebbrell1843 you can do, I go to the right of the river, through a metal gate up the footpath and it just goes all the way to the top, the trails are a bit harder to see at the minute with all the greenery about

@@OfftheTopMTB ill check it out this week, I’m only in Cheadle so I need to make the most of having dimmingsdale on my door step 😂 I’ve done a couple of trails that drop down onto the old railway line heading towards oakamoor

Yea I think I know where you mean, the trails up from the ramblers retreat come out on the road opposite the old train line, think there's a cricket club close by too

Think it's the dryest I've ever seen it to be fair mate ☀️

World cup 1 I binned it on wasn't it ?

@@OfftheTopMTB looked like WC3 mate

@@MTB_Trekker according to my Strava the last trail I did in the video was WC 3 but I dunno the trail names there other than El Steepio 🤷

@@OfftheTopMTB wc3 on my strava 🤔

@@MTB_Trekker strange 😮

A fair few of the steep trails have trees down, and it's very overgrown, can still have a laugh though 👍

El Steepio is a good one to try, I always balls it up though 😂

Think it was a mixture of being tired, hot then stacking it in world cup section 😂

@@OfftheTopMTB just watching now, fair dismount that was 🤣

😂😂 cheers mate, think I clipped a pedal

Cheers mate, I don't know what's wrong with me lately, seem to have lost my bottle a bit. To be honest after watching the footage back it didn't look as bad as it felt. Haha I'm glad that tree was there for me to hug, stopped me going for a big tumble 😂

its just a mind game i think. i was scared of heights up until the end of last year. wouldnt go near a steep trail or 2ft drop 😅

Yea think your right dude....fair play on getting over your fear, that's quick that mate 😁

Yea great mate, and impressively didn't notice any pedal bob when climbing 👍

@@OfftheTopMTB I think you're right about too many controls on shocks and suspension. The average rider doesn't need them

Yea definitely mate, think you really need to no what your doing or like faffing about for them to be worth it. Most of us just want to go ride !

@@OfftheTopMTB correct!

Thanks for the feedback, wasn't sure if it would work or not 👍

Cheers for the feedback mate, appreciate it 👍 Yea I've always found them a bit of a ball ache to set up, happy that doesn't seem to be the case with coil. HaHa yea that's exactly what I was doing , riding along the trail bouncing on the saddle and shouting at the bike 😂....Shame to hear you've got covid, hopefully you'll recover soon and be back out sending it !!🤟🤟

? Don't use handlebar tape mate

@@OfftheTopMTB coloured tape on your bars or was I looking at another vid!?

@@jamesperkins1699 oh do you mean the blue bit of tape ? if so its just the uplift ticket from dyfi.

600 lol

@MTB_Trekker yea that's the one 😯

@@OfftheTopMTB I'd asked before I got to the part in the vid lol

Oh right 🤣🤣🤣

@@OfftheTopMTB bit of a lottery with springs, but when you get it right, it's supposed to be peachy?

No sorry didn't record this one 😔

This is the link I got it from... www.mountainbikerides.co.uk/routes/128-the-peak-district/14-hope-triple-eight.html

Usually either 24 or 25 FPS protune settings I have ISO 100 min 3200 max

No monkey side mate

@@OfftheTopMTB have you got Strava route?

This isn't the exact route but very similar..... strava.app.link/D6iHvpsztLb

@@OfftheTopMTB cheers mate, going again next week so will check it out

@jamesperkins1699 no worries 👍

Yea it's a proper big boy line now ain't it 😭

It's mad how much it changes isn't it ?

Thanks Bud! The rock there is so slippery too. Never rode anywhere quite like Dyfi 😵

Go for it mate, there wicked

Cheers dude it's 2022 Giant Reign E+1

@@OfftheTopMTB I’m looking at using the cycle to work scheme to get an eMTB for trail riding but the best I can get with the money they offer is something like a cube stereo 140, is there any bikes you’d recommend that sit around 3k to comfortably do this kind of trail riding?

@@chrisdobbo8938 to be honest anything with 150mm travel or above will be fine for most places. The trails in this video, you could get away with even lower than that. Not sure what bike you can get for 3k to be honest, maybe a haibike or just a lower specced Giant/spesh/canyon

It's really good there and a great vibe too but definitely a whole other level from other bike parks.

🤣🤣

Yep that is always in my mind, I had 2 big injuries in the last 2 years and it definitely plays a part in not wanting to risk certain features.

@@OfftheTopMTB same i have fallen off a few times years ago with injuries, im 40 now but love riding and i cant stop 😁 just don't feel as good as when i was in my 20s 😆

Yep, same 😂

Let me know how the new forks are, i need to upgrade my specialized levo forks they are terrible, they came stock with the bike👍🏼

It's just the rear shock I'm getting, happy with the 38s at the minute , no where near as hard to set up as the shock.

Shite ain't it ☹️

Cheers mate 🍻

Yea me either bloody terrifying 😮 yea sounds good, I'll definitely be heading back at some point, gotta face my fears I suppose 😂

I crashed on my first run down lovey dyfi got in to the forest and the left turn with the slab took me out. Kinda ruined my day as it knocked my confidence massively.

Yea that's horrible that section isn't it? Proper ruins your confidence too, hard to get it back after that 😔

Yea I often think the same regarding adjustments, I just wanna set and forget and the couple of fox air shocks I've had over the years have always been a ball ache to set up. I've got this bomber from J Tech too so there custom tuning it too me as well which should help it perform even better.

That's good to know thanks for the feedback 👍 stability and predictability is exactly what I'm after. I'll give an update once I've used it for a while 😀

🤣🤣🤣

Haha mountain bike withdrawal symptoms is a real thing 😜🤣

Yep, annoying how they can't manage to make the cover fit! Oh sorry to hear that pal, doesn't sound great 😔

@@OfftheTopMTB Nukeproof cover got same Problem as MTB Laura got same Problem

Seems to be a common problem, can't be that hard to make a decent cover 😔

Old Ebike from 2019 had external battery no problems & Lock Miles better & quicker to change Battery

When I went back to my normal bike I found it horrible! Too light and twitchy 😮 everyone is different though I suppose....haha yea if you stare at them they bang you out 🤣

on rough ground I'd have to agree, get thrown about everywhere 😅

Oh yea absolutely mate !
