    Solar Generators?

    Just wondering would this be an easy alternative? If you have a spare battery you have two already then this kind of thing ‘just in case’? BA2800T 5.0Ah Battery | EGO Power Plus there’s a 7.5 amp that might charge faster but it’s £100 more

    Protective gear (knee pads, shin guards, helmets, body armour, xyz)

    Did you order pal?? I sent the Scott back, wondering on the next move, the CE2 is having stability issues somewhat like due to the weight they sag past your limbs I’m finding but I could mess with some glue/Velcro perhaps, maybe I need to find lighter armour....I’ve not made any more moves...

    Ordered some fox launch pad pro d30 (ofc!), the Forcefield ones are garbage, constantly moving no matter what I do, these Fox were really hard to find in Large!

    it made sense the first time, until they said ‘oh no you can’t swap’ instead of ‘sure, but you’ll just disconnect some shiz’.......the lols!

    Brake upgrading

    I’d asked the guys at the store but they were slow to reply they said ‘those brakes can´t be switched. You will have to disconnect the brake houses.’ I can’t get my head around how a rh brake will go into a lh unless it’s symmetrical and therefore doesn’t matter......hmm that said, if the...

    Orbea wild fs m20 2020

    I’ve one of these, H30 and it’s 25% less value for money than the cube counterparts that come with 1k forks included like the Zeb instead of the Rockshox which might be £250! I opted for the Wild because I was told about geometry, bike is better, Cubes have more problems xyz but then when...

    Brake upgrading

    I think I’ve already got 203 rotars front/back.... hopefully get these new brakes this week, might end up getting them fitted if it’s not straightforward and the wiring is all internally routed which might be a bugger, can get it fitted for £30

    Recommendation please - Waterproof flat pedal shoe with covered laces

    I’m finding if I stick to 45 eu that tends to work, like for impact five tens that would mean ordering an 11 even though I’m 10.5 but we don’t always get EU so it’s a lottery, I’ve had to buy 4 pairs of GR9s to get one that fits, tested them yesterday and I’m quite impressed, just not a mid to...

    Brake upgrading

    I didn’t think you could put a r/h brake on a l/h rear, how does that work? Like the guide and some other brakes are universal according to some videos I saw but curious about swapping over as such, if so I’ll order and let the bike shop sort it out. Cheers
