    GPS. Newbie advice needed.

    Picked up a Garmin Edge 130 on eBay last night for a great price. Garmin apps all setup with Kamoot on my phone so should be good to go 👍

    @Tubby G that's exactly what I am after. Can I send Kamoot maps via Bluetooth from my phone to the 130?

    GPS. Newbie advice needed.

    Thank you. Have been looking at the Garmin Edge 130 as it seems to do the basics, I'm not fussed with colour and touch screens or a large unit on the bike. I will use Kamoot or Strava on my phone to download routes onto the Garmin. Not seen the Woohoo, will do a search.

    GPS. Newbie advice needed.

    I am contemplating a GPS route planning devise as I would like to explore new routes, rather than sticking to designated cycle paths at cycle parks. Ideally to guide off paths at cycle parks plus be able to add routes I have seen on Kamoot. Don't want the bells and whistles, just be able to get...

    Who's had COVID?

    9 days ago during a family meal my youngest said he couldn't taste his food. Instant positive test result and he's been in his room since. He's ok now, just no smell/taste. 7 days ago my wife felt poorly and had a positive test, so in the bedroom since. At the moment she has no smell/taste and...

    Stereo hybrid 160 replacement headset

    Scrap that. Put everything in the freezer then used a larger wooden hammer. The condition of the Cube bearing was terrible after just 200miles. New Superstar Components fitted. Will get some matching spacers as well.

    Stereo hybrid 160 replacement headset

    Ordered as above and started to fit. Old bits came out really easy. Top set fitted into the frame with light tapping. I cannot get the bottom set in. I have tried gently tapping with a wooden mallet but with it being a carbon frame I am concerned! Any advice please??

    Has your EMTB made you fitter, or kept you as fit, as your regular MTB?

    Only been MTB'ing since the beginning of the year. It has definitely made me fitter, my arthritic knees are not as painful but more importantly, mental health when out riding and back home has improved immensely. Not ridden for 6 weeks now due to an ankle injury, i cant wait to get back in the...

    Hi from Rutland.

    Not sure where I stand driving a Mercedes C Class. Maybe an old fart who just wafting along oblivious to what others are doing?

    Cube or haibike

    I tried both a Cube and Hibike in May when buying my first eMTB. I went with the Cube Hybrid Stereo 160. I preferred the "feel" of the bike and spec, i also spoke with two other independent MTB shops who advised the Cube. It has been faultless apart from creaking on the headset which i need to...

    Sherwood Pines and NCB area Sun 12th Sep'21 (spaces left)

    Great write up and pics? I am coming up to 2 weeks with the ankle injury, bruising 90% gone, still a little swollen and feel a long way off riding again. I can just about use one crutch and will have to wear an ankle brace all the time now?. Hope to join you all before the year is out.

    Stereo hybrid 160 replacement headset

    Being a complete and utter newbie, just before i press Buy, is the following correct for my Hybrid Stereo Race 160 which is creaking badly after 150miles?? Do i need spacers and if so how many? Does the kit come with a Topcap (i like the UK flag effect i have seen on here)?
