mate you need to get yourself back to hanchurch the trail builders have been going crazy!!! im so lucky to call this my local as it's a whole 5 minute ride to get there for me
@@bikeandbeyond couldn't tell you the names and im not sure if they're on trail forks. but if you go over the road from the main car park so you ride past the big house on your right, go down that fire road for couple hundred metres and you'll see little bits of trail on the right that look unused but thats where the best riding is for steep loose tech.
Those trails look amazing. Have you ventured up to the Quantocks, the trails there are amazing. If your in for a steep rocky trail, you should definitely try the 'Chimney' if you ever go up there.
Great location and video.. but just as well you fitted that dropper! Wise to be cautious when riding solo. A friend of mine dislocated his shoulder in the middle of nowhere.
Those trails look amazing! It would be awesome to see you head back here someday to do these for a second time, and not have to worry about random drops jumping out at you
Thanks mate. I haven’t ridden it in winter I am afraid. I recon some of the wooded sections would be pretty sloppy, but the sandy trails might be alright.
I have really been enjoying it. Seems to be a pretty fun and capable bike. I have ridden it down some pretty hairy stuff and it is still in tip top condition.👍🏻
@@bikeandbeyond much appreciated. I didn't know they had a free version. I've only ever stuck yo cannock chase but I've been told about these woods and Dimmingsdale but couldn't find all the trails
I think it is the size large frame. Being 5’10 I fit between the top end of the medium and the lower end of the large. Went large and it seem to be a good fit for me.
@@bikeandbeyond awesome. Looking forward to it. Kinda deciding between bikes. I have the Bizango in my sights but I'm wondering whether to get something a little higher spec as I can only store one bike at the moment

Awesome, thanks for the info. Any trails in particular that you recommend?

Yeah the Quantocks is a great place to ride. Need to go there more often

Thanks Gerry. Yeah solo riding definitely has its downsides.
Great video as always dude, this is my local, a lot of other stuff over the other side as well, well worth exploring 👌🏻
Yeah I can’t wait to go back.

I will definitely be going back. Such an awesome place to ride.
Glad you enjoyed Hanchurch, fairly local to me, i should go more often really 👍
Yeah you definitely should. There is so much there to ride.
Great video love it
Nice VLOG! Been thinking about visiting here myself! Have you ridden it in winter at all? 👍
Thanks mate. I haven’t ridden it in winter I am afraid. I recon some of the wooded sections would be pretty sloppy, but the sandy trails might be alright.
Should I buy this, looking for my first hardtail for £1000
I have really been enjoying it. Seems to be a pretty fun and capable bike. I have ridden it down some pretty hairy stuff and it is still in tip top condition.👍🏻
I live near there how hard is it to find those tracks
Really easy to find. I think all of these were on Trailforks (the free version).

Might have been a bit late but what size is your bizango pro?
I think it is the size large frame. Being 5’10 I fit between the top end of the medium and the lower end of the large. Went large and it seem to be a good fit for me.
You running any inserts on PRO? I'm planning on getting some for my Bizango
I am on my Cube Stereo but not on the bizango pro. I would definitely think about getting some though. They come in handy.
If you could have just one bike would you choose this or your full Sus or something else?
Great question! I am doing a Q&A type video in the coming weeks. I will add this question to the video so I can answer it properly. 👍🏻

Hi, are the brakes for the bizango 2 or 4 piston calipers?
If they are still original brakes then they are Shimano MT400 2 piston.
Is this called hanchurch hills on the maps
That’s the one
