The Friday Video

OK, it's been a while since we posted on Thailand Mountain Bike due to our local internet provider having to replace some stolen cable; stolen from the poles or the back of the truck?? Who knows! Anyhow, the down side was we had no DSL for over a week. But we are now back on line and back to posting.

So as it's Friday I guess it's time for another Friday Video. This week we've got some neat footage of the new White Brothers 'Loop' front suspension fork in action.

This fork is manufactured by MRP, Grand Junction, Colorado. The big update on this fork is the switch from separate machined lowers to a cast magnesium one piece unit. Available in 26" and 29" MTB versions with travel from 80mm through to 150mm this is a pretty versatile piece of kit. The White Brothers 'Loop' features compression, rebound and spring adjustments ensuring there is ample opportunity to fine tune for your type of riding. Oh, this fork also comes with a 15mm 'tool-free' quick fit axle.

Anyhow, enough waffle, enjoy the video.......

The Friday Video

A day early this week as I am off to Bangkok to go look at some bikes and gear :)

Courtesy of PinkBike and Banshee Bikes here's some great downhill action. Damn, these guys are FAST! But towards the end the old saying came to mind "sometimes I flick the Bike, other times the Bike flicks me!"

Enjoy.......

The Friday Video

For this week’s Mountain Biking video we decided to introduce a bit of International flavour. As the Tour de France is currently underway and serving up some exciting racing indeed, what better than a bit of Gallic fare?

Whilst most of the current crop of MTB and downhill videos now seem to be shot in photogenic, perfectly manicured forests or downhill slopes, this video illustrates the ‘grass roots ‘ side of downhill MTB’ing. The wet and muddy conditions certainly proved to be a challenge!
