Well impressed with that sweet trick to fix the wheel alignment. Will’ve taken the pressure off the crack a bit too. Genius lads! 😊

Brilliant 👏 beautiful scenery

Sic video. Made me remember crashing on this mountain when your 10 mins in video. Massive over the bars at speed. Made it down but damn was I hurting. Been twice since. Love the place.

Quick hack for Schwalbe tires: mount the tire such that the line on them is closer to the side with the break disc, and it will be always the right way round ;-)!

Love the scenery 👌🏻

Well done Tommy. We done that exact route in 2018 and the arm pump was insane at the bottom

This brings back memory’s we rode it about a month ago I loved every minute of it 🤙 well done lads 👊

My pro4 did exactly the same a couple of months ago!! Hope gave me a pro5 under warranty

“The coal bro’s” nice1 lads epic vid as always and that xxl bike ?? I bloody want one.!! 👊🏻

Always a mega day out. Evening ascent in July is mint. Drive over and start heading up for 5. On the yearly calendar 👍🏻

Yes lads, Nice vid. I've always fancied riding Snowden, definitely looks worth the effort. I was gutted for Ben, although glad he managed to ride down, without incident! You aren't on your own Ben, I've also managed to split two Hope hubs in the past. And I'm only 5' 11" tall and weigh about 145 lbs, so it's not Ben! It all starts with fatigue cracks at the spoke holes, and the cracks creep over time, til it just opens up. It probably started to fail some time ago. Definitely worth checking your bike regular! Cheers lads ✌

Nice one mate glad it’s not just me. Hopefully I can get it sorted

They should make that train the uplift

Walked Snowdon maybe 20 times and never in my life would i have the balls to ride down it! fair play man quality video!

Cant beat a big day out on the bike👍

Have a big tasty one 😂 one of the best days riding I've had down Rangers, great vid, more Adventures with Big Ben vids!

Moody amazing views my kind of riding would love to do this

i nearly done this last year but weather called it off last minute. i'm gutted after watching this. keep them vids coming ✌

Class vid lads. Hope u get ya hun n wheel sorted ben mate n id do that last bit n skip Snowdon tbh. Pmsl 😂😂

Wow I feel so sorry for Ben it’s probably one in 1 million. chance that Hubs break like that and big respect to Tommy’s 2 months of the bike and goes up Snowden definitely feeling that in the morning haven’t been up Snowden in for years last time I went I had to carry my friend’s Trek session as I didn’t have my glory then the pain carrying it up was worth it on the way down that’s for sure DH Bikes are so much fun Hurtling down Snowden definitely not taking my glory up they’re old-school DH bike heavy as hell no thanks lol

Did that to a Hope 2 hub on my Orange 5 once as well. Same thing climbing hard in the granny ring. Too much torque I guess 💪 😂

Lovely 😊

I did the exact same route you did last year, such a great ride. came to see if you rode the whole descent - did you need to walk the section at 16.53? it gets properly gnarly

Have you done Helvellyn in the Lake District?

You rode that mint. Ngl I had to walk a couple of sections when we did it. Respect!

Cheers dude was hard work 😂

Nice

Mate did the exact same to his pro 4 last month

Saw a video years back of a guy doing it on an a MK1 Blue Pig HT. He was flying down! Maybe come back with eeebs and camp out there overnight with a bivvy to make an extra special adventure? Backpack loaded up with Gregs.

Sick

Hi. I fancy a bit of this.. I haven't got a bike yet... Would a ggood hardtail be OK for this type of ride?? Great video.

Oat Milk Latte..... Business!!!!

How long did it take to get up. I’ve walked it and it was ruddy awful on foot, especially that steep bit past the midway train station. And how long to get down?
