    Bike computer vs phone computer? Whats the best

    So you know when we record a route in Komoot as an example, how do we get the trail difficulty scales (s0-s5) to colour in the route? I saw a good route, selected it, completed it and uploaded my route with some photos etc but it was all coloured blue instead of what the original posters...

    Struggling to find Zees in stock as it happen, some German shops have them at least, must be a good sign!

    Water/winter proof flat pedal shoes

    Had to send back as too narrow for me, sadly they are the best shoe I’ve had my hands on at least for what I was looking for. on another note using Trailcross Mid which are alright but more lightweight/less protective than I was looking at (maybe impacts next) but they started to smell of...

    nice little article here, I wonder if the RSC would have been better for you. Sounds like the Guide might have a little more power than the Zees Best mountain bike brakes: Bike Perfect's pick of the best MTB brakes

    Brake upgrading

    For some reason I though zee were the pads! Right I’ll have a look into those cheers for those saying the same too. I had also seen SRAM Guide RE E-MTB Disc Brake | Chain Reaction Cycles are they a contender if I can’t find a decent deal on the Zees? I’d also been checking the SRAM code rsc...

    Brake upgrading

    My bad, I can’t find a full set just seperates like here for the shimano m8020 xt | Chain Reaction Cycles I figure it’s two callipers with levers, 2 hoses 1000, 1700 and that’s it? Those 8120 a better shout overall or?

    Brake upgrading

    Here’s my steed 2021 ORBEA Wild FS H30 but I’m looking to upgrade the brakes. I’ve seen some second hand saint M810 for front/rear at a decent price so was wondering for £150 if that’s the best deal?

    Bike computer vs phone computer? Whats the best

    Second time out with the tech, again Komoot was spot on and garmin in places had its uses. Does anyone know how to record a trail with red/black detail like you see on these trails? Is it like a cadence sensor or something? When I did my ride it was all recorded in blue even though it’s...

    Best bike lights

    I’d be wondering if £100 of lighting is enough for most folk what special requirements really warrant 1k+, sure it’s nice but I imagine we’re talking extreme like snow blizzards or something. Just also thinking can it be dangerous to have such powerful lights if your with others, eye wise?

    Okay so recently I’ve bought a Smith mainline helmet and recently decided to buy a gopro hero 8 but Smith customer support is really poor to the point of being non-existence which is the first time I’ve ever experienced anything like it! So could anybody recommend a suitable mounting kit at...

    Recommendation please - Waterproof flat pedal shoe with covered laces

    the one I wanted to work was the Vaude Moab but alas you need narrow feet for that one! I tried tons of brands but in the end the trailcross mid were the ones with the nice fit, it’s not waterproof and your feet get cold fast, more a dry day shoe. The ones I’m looking at getting are the Impact...
