Funny you should ask.
I have the SM model and I have reluctantly finally converted it to dirt (today) I haven't ridden it on the dirt yet but a fellow trf-ian used to own the bike and I followed him on it a few times.
I've just posted a few words and pics about it
here.
I'll probably post up about it once I have ridden it in the dirt a bit. But for now it'll do me.
PS: I love the SM side of things. It's a right giggle.
Here is a before and after shot
Before:After:You're going to shit yourself when it comes to an emergency stop on wet tarmac with knobblies and that huge front disc.
I have only ever had to 'red card' one rider in the 20 years that I have been leading trail rides.... he had an SM model with the 21" wheel and large front disc. He had several front wheel lock-up offs, the final one sending under the front of a farmers Land Rover, luckily not being harmed.....
