Heading down to South Wales soon and have ridden both Afan and BPW on the Zesty previously. And enjoyed it.

I've just built a 27.5+ HT up and, as always with new bike syndrome, keen to try it in different environments.

Just worried about 2 things. Will I have more fun on the FS? and will a 3.0 wheel fit in BPW's uplift?

I'm not sure b+ will fit, my 2.4 was snug in the bpw trailer

I rode my Krampus at Cwmcarn, it was a hoot!

I think Captainflasheart said he'd take a Spech bike on the uplift trailer at BPW.
My B+ bikes (hardtail and full suss) have both been great fun round CyB.

BPW Uplift guy took one look at my 29er 35mm rims/2.4" tyres & said "i doubt that'll fit, you should get one of those" pointing to a 27.5" wheel. My tyres fit, just with some squidging. A + tyre won't

I did indeed have a semi at BPW.

Semi-fat, you perves!

If you can't get a 2.4 tyre in their uplift truck, it would suggest that there uplift truck is badly designed.

You could always use the pedals to make it to the top of the hill, or does it not have those?

I thought this was going to be a moan about not being able to pass big slow riders at trail centres as they were taking up all the singletrack width !

I've got 2.8 nobby nics on scraper rims. They had to be forced into the trailer but fitted... just...

It's the front wheel I'm worried about. 3.0 nobby nic. The rear is a 2.8 trailblazer - which is quite small for its claimed size!
