    Flat pedals recomendtions please!!

    you just reminded me I have another set of DMRs somewhere......I don’t think there will be much of anything in them, what I have noticed is things go south when pins aren’t replaced! I just looked other day and I had about 3-5 missing on either pedal yikes! I am tempted to swap them out for my...

    Best bike lights

    Bang for buck magicshine off aliexpress for around £225 will get you 8000 lumens, I’m tempted myself but then I’d need mtb friends who are up for nights ? edit: ignore that all sold out inc the 6500, bugger that’s annoying! Was just about to buy one myself I’ve got the 1500 one but it’s more...

    How good are lyrik ultimate compared to fox factory 36 grip2?

    Hmmmmm APAC makes a good point, you can sell future ex bike shiz to fund new bike shiz.......hmmmmm I’ve a fox 35 and no idea of a new fork will add any benefits, ignorance is also bliss at times! I did recently start to do a drop a down at leeds urban (not the bigger one) and I had a bash with...

    An actual brake comparison study

    Happy with the Mt7 but I’m still on stock discs after 350 miles, is there an improvement using other discs and how long do they last normally?

    Review Racer Motion Top 2

    There might to be tight like a second skin, I’m 85kg or so and it feels great, but I’ve an issue with CE2 upgrades as there too heavy and drag the stretchy fabric down past the limbs abit but I might be oddly proportioned ?

    Orbea Wild HS30 torque settings

    So bought a wrench and up for tightening everything correctly but can’t find any actual torque settings for the bike, this normal or do we just make it up on a ‘feels reet’ basis which I’m trying to avoid?

    Snakeskin Wrap

    I want it!!!! But foreskin has multiple applications (I do require size L however, the previous poster clearly needs XS), does this flexible metallic witchcraft also have multiple uses or would it cause personal injury??

    Snakeskin Wrap

    save your money would be my advice, it’s just that mud/water gets trapped underneath and then the rest of it gets compromised, sure it’s save a lot of little scratches but the major stuff it doesn’t really help against, I’ve chips and all-sorts In my less than 200 mile career so far, it’s either...

    Considering changing my Orbea Wild

    You know there’s an ‘edit’ button right? ? Unless your missing comments about the Wild, it’s being noted about its DH prowess/speed.......hence the whole idea of me replacing it.

    Considering changing my Orbea Wild

    Just noticed this! Your spot on, others who knew better said the same thing and my suspension was pretty rock hard and reboundy so after letting some air out and working to about 3 clicks soft it’s lovely atm, it’s almost too responsive now so I’ll play the more I start to learn, there’s plenty...

    Considering changing my Orbea Wild

    Its all well and good riding and getting experience but there is a science to which line to pick and why, it’s nothing short of theory (then practice) and something I’ll next be learning about next. I tried a few bikes yesterday and was blown away at the difference; totally alien it was to me...
