    Okay I know ill get hit with rational regarding you just get out there and work it out xyz but I like being efficient/thorough as people are already starting to see ?! So without further ado: love this gent! Perfect example of how powerful tools like Trailforks, Alltrails and other apps can...

    Bike computer vs phone computer? Whats the best

    Voodoo Zobop E-Shimano Full Suspension Electric Mountain Bike - 16", 18", 20" Frames | Halfords UK I believe it’s this one, its rare I can move to full range on mine but his was so much easier, felt rougher on the trail but I prefer the easier steering

    Bike computer vs phone computer? Whats the best

    just off topic but yester I tried someone elses 27.5 inch bike out and I could turn the thing on a six pence! On my 29.5 inch orbea wild it’s like trying to turn the titanic in comparison, I feel like a 30% difference if I had to out a number on it but it’s too much to ignore, could it simply...

    Bike computer vs phone computer? Whats the best

    I like the mbr ones, I’m assuming the AllTrails is a gpx that can be ported to the Garmin. Sadly I had some sync issues so had to abandon testing it today. As for TF metadata is there anything phone wise that can offer navigation with that kind of metadata? It’s not so much needing step by...

    Bike computer vs phone computer? Whats the best

    cheers I quickly noticed that! We’re all canal riders hey! So TF it doesn’t offer navigation as per say does it? It easily sends to the Garmin but it doesn’t seem to have all the trail data, like I’ve got one route that combines all the major loops into one but on the Garmin it seems to lose...

    Bike computer vs phone computer? Whats the best

    So my plan was to download TF and AllTrails on the Garmin, AT doesn’t have an app for connect IQ, didn’t expect that and was hoping to basically ‘prep’ on the iphone, save then download to the Garmin and off you go..... Im atm using mbr top 100 trails as it documents loads of decent places but...

    Review Forcefield pro shirt XV 2 air body armour vs Forcefield pro XV 2 review (first impressions)

    Awesome!!! Definitely one of the better value tops for sure and if it fits well should be good! I’d still like to see some sort of basic Velcro fasteners to keep the armour tightly positioned like the Demon top

    Breathable waterproof shorts?

    I remembered your post when I saw this The best waterproof MTB jacket you can buy | Page 9 of 9 | E-MOUNTAINBIKE Magazine It’s jackets but I assume the trousers are the same stuff, was highly rated

    Breathable waterproof shorts?

    You gave me an idea there, I’ve seen raf combos on eBay for like £45 in navy blue but the jacket length stopped me buying. Here you have some kind of wrap around bag I guessing? That would stop the jacket getting trapped behind the seat etc.... RAF GORETEX JACKET - GRADE 1 - USED - WATERPROOF...

    Breathable waterproof shorts?

    The ripstop would be a good bet if anyone’s looking at this kind of thing. I was chatting with an ex forces guy today in trespass and he used to wear this stuff, said it was great!
