Might be a decent moment to point out grown men arguing over a push bike is an odd look.

Yeah, I got that backwards, the Gold has a different CSU thread pitch & narrower stanchions that prevents installing the 35mm Debonair spring or a better compression damper.

Burnt round the woods with the obligatory digger picture.

Pal of mine is riding a Trek Powerfly & for various reasons has had enough of it. He's looking to upgrade but has about a million kids & so, isn't flush like the rest of us Rockefellers. What he really wants is a bigger battery, 700w/hr plus & probably no more than £3k price tag. After that...

We get constant warnings about Ticks on the south downs but that's the first one I've picked up in 20 years riding here. So far, no rash. Go me.

Got a Tick bite last night. Now comes the exciting wait to see if I get Lyme disease.😕

Quick look at it suggests it's a budget option with 35mm stanchions. Might be a red flag as the only other 35mm fork they do is the gold RL which is not great at all & moreover, sits deliberately outside of the Rockshox upgrade ecosystem by means of being made in non standard dimensions, down to...

As long as I can remember, Evans have been flogging freeriders for £45 & slapping a big discount sticker on them. The DFS of the bike world.

My first thought too. If Jonesy is saying anything about a bike, it's because he's being paid to do so.

Why isn't Rob wearing trousers in that picture? :confused:

Words to live by.

Some chat on Vital about that. Ordinarily, I regard that site as a hotbed of angry, mud spattered young men, raging against just about anything & everything but on that, I think they have a point. Sticking Tahnee on screen during Finn's run had nothing whatsoever to do with the racing & was...

Loved it. Can't beat a mudder for thrills. Delighted for Reece in light of the problem's he's faced in the past few years but also for Benoit. I feel because he's one of the quieter guys on the circuit, he doesn't get the spotlight his talent deserves but you can't argue with that performance...

First proper wet weekend of autumn, first proper slam. Flat, innocuous, wouldn't think twice section of chalk trail, turned into a skate rink & washed out the front wheel so fast, I couldn't even get a foot out. Mate following couldn't even walk on it!

Juniors is carnage. They're going down like skittles. Luke Wayman went fastest going over the line on his face!

The UCI cancelled semi finals & restricted the men's race to 30 riders. The eye opener from that is BK fin 34th. He hasn't said what happened as far as I can see but some chat on Vital that Pivot went with full wets on a drying track & it cost them dearly.

Fair to say it's going to suit the bog trotters.

Loudenvielle on line one. Rain forecast & so my instincts say Amuary, he loves a wet one. For the women, my head says Vali, my heart says Pom Pom. She was up on Vali for three splits at Andorra, ultimately losing out in the woods but it feels to me that she's not only back up to race pace but...

Coincidentally, my Exposure six pack has developed a fault where the high power mode isn't working properly, so it's on the double for a repair before I can't see where I'm going more than usual.
