All the decals are on. Looks great outdoors with the sun shining - the colour it pretty much bang on the Industry Nine turquoise. Delighted the way it’s turned out. I think that’s me pretty much done now. Cannibals weigh over 550g more than the Michelin Wild Enduros I run in summer - and I...

I bought the Mucky Nuts Rear Mudguard (Eco savvy Mudguards, Custom Fenders and Frame Protection for Mountain Bikes | MTB | DH | Enduro | XC | Fat Bike | Road Bike) in the Black Friday sale. Between one thing and another, I’ve never got round to fitting it. I was going to pop it on just now...

The Kids Ride Shotgun balance bike wasn’t around a few years ago, otherwise I’d have probably done the same. He just got the Hotwalk because it was the only bike of my daughters (almost 9) that wasn’t pink and could be passed down! I made the mistake with her of having a 12” balance bike...

Is an e-balance bike not essentially a motorcycle? I got my son a Specialized Hotwalk when he was 2. For his 3rd birthday, I got him a Specialized Jett with 16” wheels, cut the seat post a bit - and stuck stabilizers on it for him to learn pedalling / braking. Within 3 months, the stabilizers...

+1 for Magura MT7's. Got them on 2 bikes, and have had them for about 4 years now. Great balance of power and modulation. Some go with Shigura (hybrid of Shimano levers / Magura calipers) because they don't like the Magura levers.

I’ve ordered a 14.2” Silky 2000R saw to chuck in my backpack for a start. Shouldn’t take up too much space and will be much lighter than a chainsaw. Will see how I get on with that before heading down the chainsaw route… but I have a feeling the storm damage will be more than the folding...

After many reviews here, I’ve stuck a pair of Specialized Canibals on for the UK (Scottish) winter. So far I’ve only managed a couple of rides, but they seem to give great grip on wet roots and rocks. They look thinner from the rider position than my usual Michelin Wilds… but I think they’re 2.3...

Just get your lighter friend to take it to the shop for warranty work 😂

I’m on holiday at the moment so can’t check… but I’m pretty sure all my Bosch stuff is 18V. The Fontus is definitely 18V, and all the batteries I have work in that - so they must all be the same. Not sure of the Amp Hours on them though. I’ve got 5 in total, so if I was going for a battery...

Good idea - I was thinking more for getting a petrol one… but wasn’t sure about it being shaken about when riding. I know my petrol leaf blower doesn’t like being turned upside down - and thought a petrol chainsaw might be the same. Everyone seems to be suggesting battery ones… is that the...

Here’s the one I cut up with a wood saw. I had to chop it into various bits to be able to drag it off the path. It was well sprung - and was sitting at about 3ft in height across the path. I would slide my bike under it, and climb over it. It must’ve taken me close to an hour in total, and was...

I’ll watch this one later when my daughter isn’t lying with her head on my chest 😂 watched it now - not as brutal as I was expecting, but shows how easy a mistake can happen.

Most of my power tools are Bosch - strimmer, drill, Fontus pressure washer - they all share the same batteries. I have a few other bits and bobs, but nothing by Dewalt (except work boots 😂) or Makita.

I have the Stihl equivalent of this. It cuts little branches away fine, but really struggles with anything meaty. The battery lasts <10mins, and barely puts a dent in a fallen trunk. Works great in my garden though!

The fallen one I cut with my wood saw was bent in a peculiar way, that it wanted to spring as I cut it. I had to cut through it 3 times so that it didn’t ‘pop’ when I cut it. I can see the logic behind the comment… there needs to be some common sense applied when cutting.

Wow - $199 for a bracket to hold it on a bike. I was thinking about £200-300 for the whole kit 😳

The UK is in the middle of storm Gerrit, and to be honest some of my local trails still haven’t recovered from Arwen over 2 years ago. I often have to dismount and climb over fallen trees or get re-routed to avoid them. Last summer, I ended up hacking some fallen trees up with a big wood saw...

I’ve got the larger Deathgrips, and was having wrist pain. I had changed bike, and previously had Ergon grips… but my hands felt like they were in the wrong place. I changed my bars to SQ Labs with a 12deg backsweep / 45mm rise (I’d never heard of SQ Labs, but there were lots of forum...

Downhill all the way 😂

Depends on your bike / motor I guess. I ride my Levo SL in Eco 95% of the time. In fact, it’s a dialled down version of Eco I use. My Levo SL weighs 17kg, and the motor has pretty much no resistance when off… so running it on my custom Eco setting is giving me about 15-20% of a boost on top of...
