    Clothing for wet riding

    Ive just started to get into night riding in remote places, It’s amazing fun but even more exposed on a night. My pal had the Enduro freeze point and I had my sprayway, it didn’t rain but neither of felt cold through the night, tbh it’s rare I feel cold as I wear a Knox armour jacket and maybe a...

    Clothing for wet riding

    that looks decent, I was just thinking the waterproof and freeze point jackets and not wanting to buy two, that liner could just roll up into your bag although I guess you could just buy one of those though for the waterproof version.

    Clothing for wet riding

    I used to be an advocate of the navy/army goretex stuff for £25 but there crap for durability…..fantastic for being waterproof and seem decent with breathability but so far I’ve torn two pairs yet during my offs unlike my sprayway goretex jacket which I can’t even find a scratch on! I’ve been...

    Orbea Rise Mullet

    Well, simply go the other way and love tune the rise to allow 85nm ? The chap who did that mullet video above has done the same thing, haven’t myself (yet!) but very appealing must say

    Orbea Rise , anyone seen one yet ?

    Inc battery had 15% left, Adam had about 6%, when I took it off and checked the bike had over 20% left so not sure how that works as I thought the battery was meant to fully drain before the bike, I’ll check again in further….recently I did a trip to Ladybower and Lee Quarry and on both...

    Orbea Rise , anyone seen one yet ?

    Well survived Skiddaw on the weekend, I only agreed to go thinking the weather would be too good for being out of season but despite it being glorious when I set off at 5.30am it was pissing it down when I got there! The scree descent to Ullock Pike handed my ass to me as I had a...

    Magicshine vs Exposure

    I’ll consider, hard to ignore the extra you get from the night sun lights but not spunking cash can be nice…..also the bigger lights sound as though the head one isn’t needed as much Id also seen this which doesn’t fall into the save the pennies territory but was interesting Exposure Flex...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Was thinking of getting the Forestal Siryon, maybe the 64 HA or those pancreas tyres (or whatever there called) would work ? Mate, I’ve got more tyres than a rubber factory!!! I can safely say had I been using. My Big Betty super dh ultra grip it would have been over that shit root like it...

    Magicshine vs Exposure

    Two decent brands, exposure has the battery integral which I like, magicshine needs a separate bank…. Exposure MaXx-D MK13 Front Light | Tredz Bikes £350 not cheap but for the 2500 lumens it does, EDIT just found it for £285 Magicshine 8000 - £220 on aliexpress, the best in class according...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Does anyone rate Maxxis in wet at all? I was going up a steep wet section in dry I blast up, there’s some roots but the second the minion touches the bike switches to anti grip mode and slips off! In dry I’ve been loving the minnions recently, I’ve some Mary’s but was hoping to get a bit more...

    Rise - which display to go with?

    I always take my phone so figured might as well use the damned thing! Nothing compares to phone apps, Trailforks, OSMaps, ViewRange and the typical Strava, Komoot, I do wear a Garmin 6 pro watch although the Apple Watch features a much better life saver if your on your own since it can call...

    Rise - which display to go with?

    It’s a fickle app, not a lot of testing I don’t think but I got mine working in about 10 mins, had to delete the app from the phone and reinstall it to get the unlock option to populate then it was fine. I have steps also and I’m tempted to see about combining both data fields to see what...
