    An actual brake comparison study

    I did wonder why they did the mix, there will be a reason I imagine, maybe it's to dampen the brutal breaking power of these brakes? Zees were £200 plus the adaptor, MT7 are 1/3 more but clearly very good, all positive regarding mt7 here and some negative about the zees.....comments here of...

    Anyone else not sold on their new eMTB?

    Well I switched bikes for a laugh with someone who flys around on his and I instantly hated it, felt like there was a handbrake on constantly and coming back up the trail hill was a delight for him and a mare for me! I could get 3x more laps in than others (I've tested already) and probably not...

    An actual brake comparison study

    The MT7 levers are aluminium I think. Anyone here with MT7 levers with any feedback compared with Shimano? Maybe Shiguru is old news if the levers are adequate. I've just pinged to see if I need an adaptor but all being well I'll be ordering Magura MT7 Pro HC Carbotecture SL® Disc Brake Set |...

I bought some Zees but I'll be selling this on now and buying the Maguru MT7's after doing this exercise, maybe its useful for some of you guys or will bring...

    Hi all - Best source of bike trails?

    Trailforks by far the simplest, if you’d lucky you might get the directions needed you only need this as a reference at the trail centers; great to have at a glance. What you will notice is each trail line may have an official name which is good to refer to. Trailforks strength is also its...

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

    Is this one off handstands for those results? ?. Well my shoulders are lovely and round (not as lovely as a year ago!) but it’s not that I’m just a tight package so I’m fairly narrow or maybe it’s just the weight of the CE2 pads pulling down abit or the shape even, I could probably Velcro to the...
