    Scotland really is a stunning country. Views and vistas that only shepherds and gamekeepers ever saw until hill walking and now mountain biking became a thing. Thanks to your drone and cameras the rest of us can view this and work out if that is a step too far at our level. Keep the content coming it is phenomenal. Thanks.

      Schwalbe Magic Mary/Hans Damph front/rear with Stans standard sealant. No punctures with this setup so far.

    Putoline HPX R 2.5 (yes suspension fluid) will sort out your brakes, I've been using for 6 months with zero issues and no pump up. Lower viscosity means the piston retract back faster.

      Piers didn’t carry enough in my opinion, but I carry plenty, so hopefully could have us both covered if it came down to it.
