After a long day of DH in the mud.

Next upgrade is likely to be Hope Pro II/EX721s and then Saint brakes at a guess. Going to keep the MX-22s and chuck Hookworms on them with a tubeless kit of some sort for some urban work.

When i went DHing in the mud i only stopped riding when the derailleur became so clogged up that i pretty much couldnt pedal. :D

Havnt had that much fun in years.
