Cheers rufus. I’ve thought about what you suggested in the past. Don’t like it on the frame. It’s to hard to see without proper looking down and taking eyes off the trail. I just need to be more careful in future 🤣
@@TrailFinder Mounted just behind the stem there’s not too much difference, must be better than a busted Garmin 😩😩. Especially given the prices of the new ones 😩😩
Hi again Andy, done parts of this route, a cracker and will deffo be giving this version a whizz, can I pls ask what cassette set you changed to when you went wireless, yours looks awesome, love the copper look👍
Hi sorry Carl, I’ve only just seen this comment, so times they slip through without me seeing them, I’m running the gold one this time, I came from the copper one, it’s the sram 52 tooth version
Hi mate. Very comfortable grips. I bought them because of arm pump which they have helped with a great deal. It’s nice having that big flat section to rest your hands on. Won’t ever go back to round I don’t think. Worth a punt on to see if you like them.
Yeah just frame bag and bib shorts pockets. I also have a water filter. So have as much water as I can drink with out the need for a rucksack water bladder
@@TrailFinder just subscribed to your channel,bloody cracking been a mtb er for many years commute on a gravel bike occasionally but can’t beat the mtb riding position.You still thinking of a dedicated Xc bike ?
Can't help thinking you'd be better off living the down country dream and getting yourself a short travel bike instead of the ripmo. I do very similar rides to you on mine(trek top fuel) and its is a little weapon. Ride it more than my bigger travel bike now.
Couldn’t believe it when I saw this comment as that’s exactly what I’m doing. I 100% agree with you. The ripmo although a very good bike, is to much for what I do.
@@TrailFinder nice, mines an Atherton AM.130 so weighs 15kg with Enduro tyres. I wanted a short travel that can also do bike parks. Love the type of riding you do through just heading out on natural trails. Most of my riding is around Rivington.
Hard to believe these days they haven't put protection over all the pots, makes me feel sick just watching you - shuffled toward Gaping Gill once before the bottle went, still makes me queasy when I think about it... 🤮😀
you do make the finest videos. could watch them all day long.
Thanks mate, what a great message, I love hearing comments like this, as it makes it all worth while, thanks for watching
Did this yesterday, first time in the Dales. Great route 👏 Subscribed 👍
Did this ride yesterday with a mate in almost the same conditions. Particularly loved the Astern Gill descent. Thanks for sharing this route mate
I’ve another video coming out shortly, same area that is better than this one , glad you enjoyed it
I'll keep an eye out for that one f'sure@@TrailFinder
i've got to do this route, looks mint! Thanks for posting 👍
It’s a nice Xc loop in lovely scenery. And your welcome Wayne, and thanks for watching
Great video, just got my emtb as i also have a lower back herniated disc. Definitely be doing this route.
Looks a great ride this. Thanks for posting as always/
Your welcome Chris. Thanks for watching mate 😁
Great ride , trying to get it on my garmin but struggling for some reason, hoping to go up to the dales next weekend
Looks like a great route👌
Great route again!!!
Have a look at the ‘76 Projects’ Enduro mount. Sticks the Garmin to the top tube out of harms way 👍🏻👍🏻

Really like your video's, I'm a soft southerner 😅 but I will get up they this summer 👍
Thanks Russell. Really appreciate that. And thanks for taking the time to watch 😁

Another top video mate, love watching your content. Ps, is the hydro shot broke 🤣
As always thanks Zac. I know I know, need to start washing the bike more!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@TrailFinder awesome bike!
Havent watched it yet, eurovisions on..but the thumbnail is gorgeous.
Yeah it’s not a bad one this week.
Love it when you ride that much that you bike is always dirty.
🤣 as long as it’s running smooth silent and perfect gear changes , I don’t see the point in cleaning it all the time
How you finding those grips Andy? Help with pump and fatigue?…. Thanks for the video!

Tell john to try the mcgill 3 for his back
Hey Andy do you carry rucksack or just use the frame bag
Yeah just frame bag and bib shorts pockets. I also have a water filter. So have as much water as I can drink with out the need for a rucksack water bladder

@@brows1973 yes. id love one as a second bike. something very light and fast
Thank Christ John is there to open the gates..! and with a bad back ;-)
😂😂 did you see the end of the video where he was rolling around on the floor in agony ,while I was more concerned with my tyre 🤣
what Kit do you use? is that a Garmin GPS?
Yes it’s the 1030 plus
What tyre pressures do you run for a ride like this mate?
For this ride I was 16 front and 19 rear. That’s on a 2.4 x 29 tyre with side wall protection (Nobby nic super trail)
Even my dog Daisy enjoys watching these videos Andy, but that one’s a bit too far for her Spaniel legs.
Hi Mitch. Hope your well bud. Yep pretty long one that. But one of those rides where you blast the miles off quickly

@@TrailFinder another great video. What short travel bike are you looking at? I'm super happy with my 130 rear 140 front.
@@8o8ertmtb I got a Scott spark ultimate. 130 120, 11kg weight. It’s amazing
