You need a meetup ride, so we can ride with you and go to greggs :)

[@the_derpler]

Agree w/ the dropper, I don't have one, but I've used my friends, it helps soooooo much on off road downhills. I'm a wimp on those, so the dropper makes me feel so much more safe.

[@simisanoo5382]

The dropper is the best for soaring downhill speeds on any surface. I get into the bullet position and bomb it. Xtra weight is a blessing too, gives downhill speed and stability. I also like the difference leg positions it offers for pedalling. I'd keep my dropper but just get a lighter, faster wheelset.

[@DaveNoakes]

Love me a dropper. That said it might be coming off and going onto the fluro flat bar gravel /xc bike

[@PumpkinVillage]

Your one lucky guy. Nice bikes to ride every day. Glad your feeling perky. Take care, Al

[@DaveNoakes]

Thanks mate, feeling pretty lucky.

[@bubblesezblonde]

What no Greggs on the way home? I did enjoy the 'same trail/different words" x3. Keep up the good work!

[@ericmontgomery7477]

nice ride - diggin the tunes!

[@DaveNoakes]

Thank you 😊

[@kevinlyon9501]

That was a good game of spot where Dave is on Google maps. I just used to use a quick release seat post clamp to drop the saddle on the old mtb. having ridden my friend bike with one definitely less faff, though takes a bit of time getting used to it.

[@pierrehenri2297]

Well someone is enjoying work today!!😂😂🤘

[@morrismacri962]

Love your ride.

[@DaveNoakes]

👍🏼👍🏼thanks you

[@thecatsonholiday5932]

It's like bumming but better.

[@DaveNoakes]

😂😂😂

[@downsey45]

Riding my bike the other day and I thought to myself. I have not fallen off my bike for ages. Then guess what. Next day off I came.
Any falls recently Dave?

[@DaveNoakes]

Damn, hope it wasn’t a bad one. I haven’t had a fall in a while 🤞🏼

[@myroonb]

I was about to buy new tyres, I used to rock whole black theme for same frame, but man those bronze accents fit perfectly. Btw remaind me what is the height of the wheel rim?

[@royrcf]

Hi Dave which lever are you using for the dropper post on the bars?

[@DaveNoakes]

The dropper is hooked up to the left GRX shifter 👍🏼

[@damonsmith6154]

What do you think to the Goodyear Connector Ultimates? I’m thinking of swapping to the 700x40’s on my bike

[@DaveNoakes]

I love em! If you want something with a bit more bite try the Peak.

[@damonsmith6154]

@@DaveNoakes thanks Dave, much appreciated. Love your bikes BTW

[@Countrystock]

19k subs 👊🏻

[@duncanmartin2626]

Nice stoppie. How many takes?

[@DaveNoakes]

1 😂👍🏼

[@chrispressdee5747]

endo ?

[@pedeepete]

looks awesome very that. very you.

[@staticfive]

Needs more hand motions

[@DaveNoakes]

Noted, will do more 😂

[@BrettinLux]

What bar tape is that?

[@fentuz]

Dropper posts are often ~1.5 hg so compared to a 300g carbon seatpost, it is not surprising to get 10kg vs 9kg

[@markianross]

Droppers are normally about 500g so don't really add much weight at all.

[@noredcr]

fox's transfer sl is 350g

[@chasc301]

Came in at a good weight Dave. Perky! 🤗
