Strengths: Solid. Great kit. Havent need to touch the rear mech after several bails. Brake modulation is good. Jumps well, stable but flickable. Confident at speed.
Weaknesses: Ive had both fox units break... The brown saddle and grips. The colour!
[Update 19/11/07] ok, so it appears to be the bearings out back causing the problem, not the shock. (which was kindly stripped and rebuilt for free by mojo)
Strengths: one of the only places in the s.e. Variation of stuff
[Update 23/07/07] one of the only places in the s.e. Variation of stuff Major improvement to beginner stuff. VERY well done so far.
Weaknesses: discombobulator doesnt work right and there isnt any practice lower-level stuff.
[Update 23/07/07] The corners are very tight for mountain bikes especially seen as its all quite high!
Overall: good could be improved ,more planning
[Update 23/07/07] this may be some peoples firt experience of Northshore (it was mine!) I could only ride the first two sections and 1st skinny. It was all too damn hard!
Strengths: one of only a few places in the south east
Weaknesses: the trail surface feels sluggish and v sketchy on fast corners.
[Update 22/09/06] could do with more challenging sections to entertain more experiened riders.
Overall: good could be brilliant with some berms and all the big muddy puddles drained. Also I felt the family trail was a bit tough for families (got lost and ended up on it for quite a while.
