Thats a pretty cool track. Downhill is fun, but not half as fun as a good technical trail!

proper northshore riding that is. If you wanna see some good stuff, search for "Darren Berrecloth" on you tube. Thats probably filmed in canada.

those uni brackets are absolute TOSS. You can never get the caliper true, and they look SHITE.

Northshore is cool.
Downhilling/freeriding is where it's at for me, used to be a bmx'er, but progressed onto this, the adrenaline rush going round a corner and almost getting your knee down on a mountain bike because youre going so fast is unreal, then jumping off a stupidly high jump is MASSIVE, everyone should try it!

its up to you mate. But they are a lash-up TBH. And you try to find a twin disc conversion for those bombers! there was only 1 reason why they have twin mounts. It was a manufacturing error when the forks came out, so instead of taking the old ones off, they just put another on, and someone made a conversion for it. They arent even I.S if i recall rightly.

when the bombers came out there was 1 company making a twin disc set up for them
literally nobody makes brackets for them as they are different spacing to calipers nowadays
ive just made a bracket to suit my xtr calipers
