  • could the trails at afan be done on a hardtail?

  • @LucasPerks94

    Yep. You see hardtails all the time there - but I would suggest you need to be a competent rider. A full suss just hides the mistakes of riders like me...

  • Great video, great run. Too old for that lark at 44 though. I'd break rather than bounce now! Used to ride out at Coed Y Brenin 15 years ago - back then I bounced aplenty! :-D

  • Well I'm not going to give my age away but it's mighty close to yours, and I only started this lark 3 years ago! You're never too old...

  • Yup - great Xmas present, hey?

  • Your bars are too narrow for this kind of riding. They're narrow as hell. Wider bars and I promise you, you will run this trail and feel like a king. Those bars are narrower than a X-country'er would be comfortable with. Go wide, and own that trail even more! :)

  • @stumpy25lbs I'm not a competent rider but my HT will be coming with me to Whites next Sunday. It's all about the lines, just hope I can pick em or it's wipeout time. :-)

  • stem..head set to long... ideal for climbing... bad news for DH... i had the same problem with my scott genius and standard head set...changed to a 30 mm one!!! the world difference...i just have to cope on steep climbs with the front lifting!!! but at least is a slow fall if it goes wrong!!! happy trails....

  • I am 5,8 i ride my old crappy 13" inch frame which is a hardtail with nothing good on, you do NOT need a full suspension if i can do it on a kids bike you can do it on anything lol

  • anybody know anything about the kona blast? Getting one on Saturday and wondering how much abuse it can take?

  • CRASH 3:15

  • @vixenfootwear hey I'm 40, still hitting the trails... with my face, last weekend at Brechfa lol don't think I'll ever stop this lark tbh...

  • Where is this exactly? Looks fantastic..

  • I live close to afan argoed, 10 min drive. I go up there a lot walking. really should see about joining a club there, any trails you would recommend starting on?

  • great video. wana be carefull riding with ur lil fingers stuck out though :P ull break them !

  • I did this last Friday, (1st of April 2011) and it was awesome fun. those rocks are a challenge but very rewarding to traverse. I only wish I had a quick release seat clamp as mine was set high for max efficiency and it made it tricky to fully commit, next time however, I'll be ready!
