    Garmin Watch

    The battery life is the archillies heel of the Apple watch and not a solution but have you tried Settings>Battery>Low power mode. It might help a bit....although the Garmin watches do seem good!

    Went through water today, wet f**king feet again, p*issed off :(

    I bought these a couple of months ago. I have been off the bike since then and only a short test but seem to work if you can get the trousers over them. https://www.endurasport.com/mt500-burner-flat-waterproof-shoe-black/14876424.html

    SRAM GX AXS T Type

    As redders said but I think the chainring may have a slightly different profile and worth getting complete with the whole group set. Same cranks though!

    Bosch Gen 4 - How to change the chainring?

    My Whyte e160rs is a boost offset and I don’t think it has an aluminium washer there. There is a thin rubber O ring.

    Tyre not spinning true

    Thanks for all the replies and reassurances...I haven't pumped it up to max pressure so will try that and I will check the rim-tape as well.

    Trail Riding?

    Yes. There are a lot of reds in the uk. Up from a blue but probably rollable on the drops or jumps.

    Tyre out of true

    My front wheel seemed to be buckled It felt ok but when riding it looked wobbly. I tried a self test with a pencil on the forks and the rim looked true. It was still the same so I took it to a lbs ( in France). They said the rim was ok but it was the tyre (Maxis Assengai) that made it...

    Trail Riding?

    The grading system is broadly based on the ski-piste system which is fairly universal in europe. These can vary at different resorts (bike parks here) depending on terrain and weather conditions. Try a green… the easiest. If you are ok and feel confident go for a blue. If that worries you stop...

    Bike Register The national cycle database

    That sounds good Steve. The one I registered with was Bike Register, backed by the Police, Cycle UK and some insurers. I wonder if they all cross reference each other ? I suppose no harm to register with them both. https://www.bikeregister.com/

    Bike Register The national cycle database

    A bit late to the post but our local Police PCSO has just been offering to register bikes in the area for the last 2 days. It's free, you get a logbook, maybe handy when selling a bike, and I think worth registering. I do wonder why dealers and shops don't do this as standard and ask for...

    What are these?

    DON’t eat them. In France the pharmacy will test them for you and even ”experts” use this service. Google…. annual deaths…. from eating wild mushrooms.

    GX AXS reset

    I think it is a known problem as SRAM diagnosed mine immediately when I described the fault. Because of no stock I bit the bullet and put the GX AXS T type on my e160RSX and used the AXS normal on my other bike. The T type is superb and no adjustment screws!....but the same battery terminals.

    GX AXS reset

    It is a 10-50 cassette on an e160RS so I think the same with different wheel size. I also wondered if chain length would affect it but it is the same chain as on the derailleur I took off.

    GX AXS reset

    My GX AXS failed under warranty on the battery terminals and SRAM made a refund. While I was waiting for stock to arrive I have taken the derailleur from my current Whyte e160RSX to replace the u/s one. ....I have the bikes in different locations but I can't get the indexing right. It's paired...
