I agree. You don't have to worry about wearing enough or too little.dyna-ti":3n4p0r45 said:I dont know about anyone else but I prefer cycling in winter.
You're not going to overheat(I overheat i feel sick) Snow about makes it all clean looking and at night theres few about so you can potter(Usually trying to stay upright
Just chuck on the winter gear and go, and there's something refreshing about a snowstorm in your face that you don't get with rain.
Yeah, I don't mind winter at all. I suppose coming from where I do you learn to appreciate the very distinct seasons here.
There is really only a very brief period where it's hard to ride on the road and off road we have the setups available. Pugs and 1X1 for winter with the Trucker for road duties as well as the Big Dummy which suits the winter slow and steady style.
Plus there's always the Puffer

Had planned on an early ride this morning, but mate asked to change it to afternoon. Started raining as soon as he showed up and stopped just as we finished.
Only a 10 mile local loop, but was still quite fun. Ground still pretty firm, but with an inch deep film of wet leaves to hide all the roots. Glad I was on the plus tyres.
A bit of trail maintenance as well, tidying up the branches on a fallen tree. Stabbed my knee on them the last twice I'd to carry the bike over it. Too big a tree to cut through with my folding saw, but at least there's a nice smooth gap now with the branches gone.

Does anyone know about Stanton frames ?
Theres an xl currently up, sized for me.
Only issue are it is 29", which i dont know if it can do 27.5". I did hear many of these 29ers can revert back to 27.5, but id like to know for sure.
Ive forks that would do for a 27.5, but its new built wheels id have to do and , well bit of a quandary on 29 or 27.5. I'd hate to find the 29ers just too much and not dissimilar to a road bike :shock: Ye Gods.
Its cos im 6'3" I just think these bigger wheeled frames are a better proportion for me.
Sick of having well built bikes that are just too small for a 6 footer . Prefer to hang it onto frames i can actually comfortably ride.

Don't know anything about Stantons, but I can lend you a pair of 29" wheels built with XM319 rims if you have knobblies and a frame you could try them on?
