Managed to get my paws on a Nukeproof Reactor 275 RS 2020

My Whyte 901 cracked last week on the seat post, after being fobbed off because I didn't register it when it was new (I didn't even know that was a thing other than dishwashers) I've decided to go for something different, a Stanton Switchback, quite excited to get back to steel after 20 years on ally! Pics and review to follow...

So after a lot of messing, stanton couldn't get a frame until Sept, I'm on another Whyte frame, randomly, a 2020 frame in 2019 colours (Wtf) either way, rides lovely after the first test ride

That is a work of art @Jayjmac!

And the forks co-ordinate so nicely with your van too!!!

 

[Jayjmac]

Haha hadn’t even thought about that!

It wasn’t that bad! Cheers for showing me the way on pinkbike though!

Trek superfly 5 hardtail with lots of upgrades and a Canyon Spectral CF7.

Looking at all these new bikes I’ve noticed that there is only one small cog on the crank.
How long has that been a thing? I’ve never noticed it before, I have 3 different sized cogs on my bike.

Been about the last few years. They run much bigger cassettes on the rear to make up for it.

 

[Troj]

Yeah greater range across the cassette - I still had to change my riding style a bit. Rather than spinning out a climb on the granny ring, you have to rely on generating torque at lower crank rpm. Worth it though as really tidies up the bike and makes it much quieter on rough ground.

1 x drive trains came hand in glove with clutch mechs and narrow wide chain rings. 11 speed rear cassette is more than enough, though current trend is 12 speed.

Gives a nice space for the dropper lever too

 

[Insert Coin]

I love my 1x11 gears, my biggest ring is a 48 on the back, a snail can go faster than me uphill.

Apart from the obvious.. how are you all carting these bike about? Currently is on the slant in the back with the front wheel twisted in the van o rak.

Looking for a solution For inside the van if anyone has any ideas??

This is my current set up, can fit 2 in like this. 3 or more i take front wheel off and fit in width ways

 

[Paul C]

I put this together the other day to hold 2 bikes width ways. Not tried in anger yet but feels really solid. Also easy to remove and insert.

 

[GraemeP]

Love it - great little solution
