    How do you secure your bike at home

    I take a view on insurance. Don't bother with stuff like electronics and white goods as if they work for the duration of the initial warranty they are usually ok for a good few more years. I've gone through the cycle of buying cheap white goods, then expensive and then back to cheap. I buy a...

    Sram Eagle GX chain and cassette issue?

    Having done more research, it sounds like the GX is very sensitive to the position of the B gap so I'm going to focus on getting this right as everything else seems fine. I don't have the red gap tool he has to assist though

    Stilus chain snap

    I think you've got SRAM SX which is OEM so I'd go with a GX or NX chain and get yourself a spare powerlink

    Sram Eagle GX chain and cassette issue?

    I've done 500 miles on it over the last 5 months and cleaned after every ride which is why I don't think the cassette is worn but as suggested above perhaps it is. i'm going to completely readjust the derailleur from scratch and go from there.

    Sram Eagle GX chain and cassette issue?

    I think I've got exactly the same problem as you Changed by original SX chain on my Cube for a GX chain (cassette fine) and I'm having a hell of a problem stopping it slipping in the smaller gears I was told all SRAM parts compatible.

    Whyte E-160 RS V1 2021 vs Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC 2021(a comparison beaten to death i guess)

    I'd narrowed my options down to both the Cube 140TM and the Whyte. I didn't want to spend that sort of money on my first emtb without trying so hired a Whyte at Bedgebury. I came off and cracked a rib but didn't want to blame the bike for that as I really wanted to like it as I have a Whyte T129...

    Muduggers tried and tested

    30 mile ride with over 3200ft of climbing mostly muddy bridleways today to give the mudhugger a good test and it certainly kept me much cleaner and drier than recent similar rides. Bike still got covered although not as bad as previously
