This post has made me go dig them out, and fit them to my shoes. Remote CONTRAL - must be local!! I took out the existing insole, to make sure I cut it to the right size. I will put the original somewhere safe, and just try using the heated one. My 5:10's are a UK 9.5, but have always felt...

I used these for years - and they’re pretty effective. Cost about £1.50 for a pair. Stick them in (double sided backing) to the insole of your shoe at the toe end… and let them do their job. Quite difficult to get out sometimes when they’re done as they end up solid and well stick down! Not...

I got heated insoles a few months ago - but haven’t tried them as I haven’t been on my bike for almost 4 months due to various surgeries. The battery is built into the insole, and you turn them on / off via a remote control. Sound like a good idea for keeping toes warm. Hoping to get back on...

Funny, because the original SL 1.2 frame (2023?) was available in the UK before most places. I had mine on 12th May which was a few days after launch. I remember it well as it was my wife’s 40th birthday, so it had to stay in its box untouched for a couple of days 😂😂

Anyone ever considered drilling 2 holes in their rim and putting 2 tubes in?! On a more serious note... if you want it to be able to go in both directions automatically, then it's going to need a motor (as mentioned above), which is going to take time to go up and down. I've had an AXS dropper...

Here's my winter glove thread! https://www.emtbforums.com/threads/gore-wear-gore-tex-insulated-trigger-gloves.40526/#post-574073

It's like a goretex shell material... so in theory, the spikes should slide along it as you brush past. It only takes one at the right angle to 'clook' it through, and then every subsequent one would make it worse!

The unicorn of the bicycle world 😂 It's only been about 7 weeks since I ordered it... despite them originally saying 11 days!

This just turned up with no warning! I've used Swinnerton a few times now and they've always been fine - but I sent 4 emails asking about this thing, and they never replied to any of them. For anyone wondering - even if the description has pin and screw in it, as long as it has POD, then it's...

You surely can’t be serious?? … why on earth would you put Darth in the same wheel as Luke, Leia and Han?! There needs to be further thought put into this 😂

Everyone is different. My bike lives in my garage, which also doubles as a golf simulator - and is immaculately clean. As a result, my bike needs to be spotless before I take it in and store it on the ceiling! Mine usually comes home in mud, and lots of pine needles. It has usually dried in...

Who ya gonna call... Twin Tubers!

As per my previous comment - that must mean the tubes cross over each other? I'd have thought the only way to make this work would be to put the tubes side by side?

From about page 40 in the User Manual, it kind of becomes the service manual. Shows exploded diagrams of all pivots, bearings etc... and lists all torques for every bolt on the bike.
