Thanks all, this has been interesting, and sometimes surreal!

I am sooooo glad I’m part of such an amazing community of like-minded athletic intellectuals. Google knows nothing! I now know: 1. Don’t crash a lot 2. If you do crash a lot, proceed to 3 3. Wear knee pads or elbow pads 4. Or don’t 5. Or choose a combination, it doesn’t matter 6. Spine...

Ohhhhh now it think I can make sense of this post.... reverting to the start of it with an inappropriate German accent...... makes perfect sense now!

Jet bike?

I’m in that club!

And what about wearing the knee/elbow pads with a variety of clothing? In the UK it’ll be under a jacket some of the time, and then optimistically with just a t-shirt for 1 day a year ?

One man’s sun protection is another man’s arm warmer ☹️

Life jacket for the ribs!

Love that!!

:ROFLMAO:

To add.... the only time I've worn pads is the Alps, and a couple of bike parks.

I guess another view is what mood you're in, Vs who you're with and what/where you're riding. A solo XC ride is likely to be made safer by knowing you're on your own, so playing it safer, Vs a full on battery-mashing with friends at a trail centre.

Thanks all so far. So knee pads are coming out as the ones to wear if nothing else... I must admit, in my head, all I can foresee is my front wheel washing out and going down on my arm, and this is skewing my view I think. I can't see me being bothered with both all the time. I rarely fall...

To those that wear knee and/or elbow pads... and i guess this comes from a position of general riding rather than anything extreme or DH focused. Do you wear knees/elbows or both, and how/why did you choose one or the other if you don't wear both? Curious that's all. Lot's riders on Youtube...

For UK, i think PedalCover is the best.

Hi All Is there a consolidated list of all the manufacturer recommended fixes/upgrades to a 2019 Levo? I think I've suffered a power cable failure, and when I go to the bike shop want to ask for any other fixes to be applied. I've heard about - power cables, pivot mud guards, dropper posts...

Any comments/experience on people using Openmtbmap.org - Mountainbike and Hiking Maps based on Openstreetmap on Garmin (I've get an Edge 1030) for OS mapping? Are there any "Go-to" sources for OS mapping on Garmins? If needs be I'll purchase maps from Garmin, but i'd rather save the cash. Thanks

UK sloppy, gritty, wet wet wet! What about the Nukeproof ones?

Brake pads for SRAM Guide brakes. Hit me with recommendations please.

I did The Gap ride over ten years ago on my old skool MTB. My favourite aspect after the fact it was a great ride is that in Welsh it’s Fan y Big..... The Gap. The school boy in still find that hilarious!!
