It's ages since I did much Tweed Valley style "off piste" riding and wondered if anyone could suggest some up to date advice on current offerings in the area at the gentler end of the spectrum. I have some old favourites but I'm so out of touch I dunno whether they even exist any more. I'll be...

I had a look at the Pinkbike DH Tech randoms article and saw Reece Wilson's Aon team are all running raised reversed stems and short cranks. Just to prove I was doing it before it went all mainstream, here's what I've been riding lately: So that's a set of Ergotec 100mm riser bars with a 15mm Aero...

Although results are already in the bag - all the action was filmed last month - the world premiere drops on Red Bull TV on 5 May.

So... I need a one off sit harness. I have the skills to tie one. I have the materials required. I am not going to spend on a one-off use. One of the builders working on my house was persuaded to abseil off the scaffolding today. He used my climbing harness. His mate dipped out using the excuse th...

As above planning to buy 2 items of £500 each anyone care to share safest option please

just saw a video about this bike come up in my recommendations ENGWE Zip Portable Ebike: 3-Sec Fold, 16.9kg For City Commuting – ENGWE Official     i must admit that i have no interest in e bikes personally BUT i have liked the e brompton bikes (but not the price) as it is a foldi...

I'm sure most Zwifters would rather see them spending their money on improving Zwift, particularly if they are just going to keep running the platforms alongside each other. No synergies or economies of scale - I can't see the logic.

    It looks like a can pay a premium and get tickets from a 3rd party, or chance it through the official website 30 days before we go but risk them selling out.   Has anyone done it recently?

Im getting this on another forum. Forum recently upgraded, though im unsure thats related, due to beign able to use that forum until suddenly i get this message. I cleared all the cookies, site data etc, and that seemed to work and i could post/read etc, but tried to go there today and was pres...

A guy at club is looking for a new HT for his lad. Size small, more Trail/AM than XC - so around 140mm travel, 10-12 speed and a dropper - budget around £1k. So far I've come up with: Saracen Matra - Mullet, Unfortunately Small is out of stock Kona Honzo DL - Not sure with full 29'er Merid...

Looking at options for a few overnighters this year. Exeter isnt far from Dartmoor, so lots of options for lying on the floor up there, but considering other options, closer to home. Ive always wanted to try a hammock, and i think it potentially opens up many more options for sneaky overnights. ...

Ok , so I'm a gorrrilla armed with a hex key . New bb fitted by lbs as it's pf , so I only had to refit the RF Turbine cranks . A decent amount of lube to help things along then tighten it, just 1/4 turn too much and I strip the axle thread. So now I can't undo it as the bolt doesn't unwind so ...

I need to replace my current home office chair as it's terrible for my posture - excuse empty lager vessels Probably going to look at something like this from Charles Eames (might get a low back, not sure) - any other suggestions?

Specialized's new Epic 9 is the lightest full-suspension XC frame at 1,589g, offering enhanced efficiency, revised suspension, and a simplified model range, while pricing starts at $7,500.

No mow May starts soon but I sense that there is quite an appetite for the natural world - working with nature and enhancing our gardens for nature where we can. There are also some very dedicated photographers on here that could share their pictures? Being out in nature is why a lot of us use bic...

I've had the chain come off on my singlespeed MTB three times in the last few weeks. The first two times I thought maybe some random trail detritus had derailed it as I was pedalling down some narrow singletrack but then today it came off after a landing a couple of (not enormous) drops. The chain...

I have an Aether 9a in ML. Currently got an old side entry bottle cage in there with a 500ml bottle. I quite fancy a Fidlock setup instead, mainly because it looks nicer. Has anyone used one on an Aether 9a? Ideally I'd like a 750ml bottle but that might be a bit snug. I also have a pump holder unde...

Racing starts at 3:30am UK time. Oof. Pass me the the ProPlus!

Anyone else see this on the news earlier? I saw it on my Flipboard feed from a Kyiv news feed, and watching the drone footage of the poor dear struggling to walk along the road all on her own, away from her destroyed house made me rather emotional. Wonderful use of the technology to be able to rescu...
