£84!

I've got a double down 2.4 on the front. It's super gripy and super slow.

Who knew 🙂

So you're saving £40 for a pair of tyres if you go Schwable over Maxxis at RRP. Schwalbe used to be the expensive choice. Glad I stocked up on Shorty 2.4s a while back for £30 each!

Bummer on the broken leg, I got taken out by an out of control snow boarder a few years back - took over a year for my shoulder to heal!

That x-ray gives me the shivers to look at, think I fear injuries more as I get older. Get well soon, eh?

Ow. Get well soon, Mark.

Camo? In an explosion in a paint factory, perhaps. Or just among others wearing the same jacket, a la zebras, to confuse your predators.

Can't get that link to play. Love it too but only know the MIA version (which I've just found has an absurdly low bassline), hadn't clocked it as a cover...

Why has no one mentioned that an aluminium hardtail costs £3k? (-:

You could have bought 8 1/2 Tioga Factory XC tyres for the price of that Shorty 😬😬😬😬😬

I suppose that's RRP not street value for the Shorty? Though, it's not as different as it used to be, for maxxis, I almost paid full RRP for my last one, with supply being so short.

Wish they'd sort out their range though- a shorty maxxgrip in exo or exo+ would be fantastic. They do an Assegai exo+ maxxgrip, and a dhr2 exo maxxgrip even, but only dh and dd shortys for some reason.

Big Betty looks good too though.

Aye and had a lot more than 8 1/2 more crashes too.
