    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Ok this thread now has my attention! I’m sporting maxxis minions dh tyres but recently had the scare of my life when I tried taking out a tree head first, sadly the tree took me out, although I’ll joke a lot I thought for a minute that I’d broken my back as it went numb! As you can see my...

    it is CE1 but there bigger sizes CE1 and they feel very effective too, I don’t feel like I’d need to go CE2 with these tbh, I’ll be going to store tomorrow to test I can say that the action shirt I’ve tried (L) is a better option than the Racer, I suspect the fabric might not be as breathable...

    @THEStuntman is right about sizing, you have to size up and ignore the Knox site, on this occasion I ignored some user reviews saying it’s too small but they too were right! So you can have compression but when you stand it then reveals your 6 pack etc! So I’m going to try the XL action and...

    Bosch Kiox display went crazy

    I had this, after an off! Basically if your using magnets then the terminals aren’t making enough contact, you can test by just pushing down on the device, solution is to use a small nut that screws the device tight, I’ve broken the bracket on mine too, hoping I can get a new one

    Comes included unless there sneaky and take it out, I think it’s the micro lock one, I wonder why they think the smaller version is better and worth more....you can get the larger one for £20, CE1 chests (were I said ‘full’, you’ll know what I meant ?)

    Trouble with the Scott one was you couldn’t remove the chest or rear for washing, I never did test it in the end but the chest did seem a bit intrusive.....of all the knocks to endure so far spinal has to be the worst thing, I wish there were more details regarding that spinal protector, I...

    Those spinal pieces, I wonder if my spine would be in better shape with this particular back protection... The chest I think for me will be to protect me against the GoPro I’m about to start mounting there. Not sure about hard stuff at the front but I’ve read horror stories about guys having...
