    Review Dirtlej Dirtsuit Pro

    Hey there, could I trouble you to advise on the sizing? I'm a 34 waist, 40 chest, would a large work okay with stuff like padded shorts or thin body armour underneath? Also how is the breathability, its 100% polyester on the inner which will just trap heat like a bitch in theory? The outer...

    Breathable waterproof shorts?

    I'm trying to get something ordered....I don't like wet sloppy buttocks! So the other thing with Keepa is its got a chrome extension too that will compare international prices, here I can order from germany for £106 basically....is it worth the tenner though to wait 5 days? I think if its £130...

    Flat pedals recomendtions please!!

    Thats really interesting, like one of the chaps said earlier about pin damage caused but instead swap the profile around and extend the longevity of the shoe, genius! Not sure how you feel about this but there are also places you could resole your shoes with five tens for like £45 if the shoe...

    Flat pedals recomendtions please!!

    4mm shorted than the Vaults, I'm kind of dumbfounded that would factor into a pedal choice as that price point could get you most pedals available...but if its working great then its obviously a good choice and that kind of durability can't be questioned! I do remember some good things about...

    Breathable waterproof shorts?

    Well, I tend to start with this https://www.idealo.co.uk/mscat.html?q=GTX+C5+shorts and then also Keepa.com - Amazon Price Tracker then finally a quick google search by clicking on the 'shopping' tab, over time you'll save a small fortune this way. Another tip would be to use keepa to check...

    Flat pedals recomendtions please!!

    By looks of things there are trade offs with that, I'm similar and started to think about smaller pedals as it doesn't inspire confidence when the pedal gets whacked but probably more a rider experience thing really, I imagine it just becomes second nature to know when not to lower the pedals at...

    Best Tow ball bike carrier

    Beware of metal arms, they are a royal bitch to your bikes paintwork if your carrying multiple bikes so be wary of Thule products like the one I own!!! Had I known I'd have looked at better options

    Interesting online magazine subscription provider

    So in an effort to become less nooblike, I thought wouldn't it be nice to subscribe to a mtb magazine and after having a dig around I found Cafeyn basically for £8 a month you get digital subs to stacks of magazines but two in particular are mbr and Mountain Biking UK, obviously you get the...

    full face helmet or not??

    Sorry to hear about your lad! I see the pro YouTube riders face planting and all sorts without FF and just cringe.....if it can happen to those guys what chance do us mere mortals have? I’ve tried the pro frame, wasn’t blown away but sure it will do its job. I personally went for Smith...

    Someone posted a great all in one top down to your knees thing, about £170 not sure if it was breathable but looked like you could just peel it off no hassle, mud suddenly became your friend with this thing on, wish I could remember what it was hmmm

    Flat pedals recomendtions please!!

    Listen Jose, I'm not having an internet argument just because you failed in answering a basic question and then went on a tangent., next time just read what someones actually asked, it helps, conveniently your brushing past this fact, I've said nothing about peddles other than asking queries and...

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

    Yeah totally we all would have the perfect top then!! @Zimmerframe might be able to recommend where to get those pads as he bought some too, with winter ❄️ I was happy with the D30. I’m in UK so sadly it’s not possible to overheat here! ?
