A pink bell, otherwise pretty standard It is the 2020 mk2 mega-bell XTR with improved spring progression and new textured thumb grip design. But sadly now obsolete, replaced by the 2021 "40", much stiffer model with improved tone, hopefully it will transform my ride. Okay, I improved the...

The Purion says I have 1 mile of range remaining. Thankfully the 12 miles back home are mostly flat or down hill. And after 10 miles mostly down into the valley the range is back up to 3 miles. Time for a tea and a butty.

Superb ride this morning on the Yorkshire ice fields

Nice ride out today, hoping to do a nice moorland loop, until... :eek: Snow has grip, the ice doesn't. I was riding along wondering why this normally unused track appeared unusually well travelled. A few miles further on found the road accessing the valley was completely impassable due to...

Spanner icon popped up on my Purion display when it passed 2,000 miles. I have read that there are no serviceable items on the motor, and this is a dealer £££ setting. Presumably to sell you service or a new bike. They will no doubt call it "Duty of care" Anyway the bike is now on 2,300 miles...

December 2010 it was -17C in the Vale of York It had risen to -15C before I thought to take a picture of it on the dash. Maybe the wife leaned over and took the photograph, as I am clearly driving at 45mph in these severe winter conditions.:unsure:

Just a dusting of snow in North Yorkshire. But at least the mud has frozen hard. Sorry, no motor today (is that allowed ?)

Too busy today, so here's one from yesterday, chuffin freezin Merry Christmas everyone

2200 off-road miles on my Whyte, and disappointingly, the third SRAM XG-1150 cassette is done. So in that nine months and 2200 miles 3 cassettes £300 4 chains £50 1 chainring £25 2 rear tyres £100 1 front tyre £50 4 pairs brake pads £50 Total £575 So 0.26p/mile, or £8 to £10 per average ride...

Wouldn't want to do that, it might be deemed a political opinion, on a bike forum, tut tut. :rolleyes: Keith, please keep your political opinions on Brexit to yourself. Thanks ;)

Maybe it was one of those bikers that need a Garmin for navigation... and the battery ran out ?‍♂️

Okay, not today, last Saturday. It does not rain relentlessly in the UK in December (but it has rained relentlessly since)

In this age of mediocrity that we live in, it is so refreshing to see a tiny glimmer of relief in pioneering science. SpaceX and Elon's gang as well as NASA, and other countries doing their thing. First test flight of Starship just ultimately failed. (Which, true to form is the only bit the...

One for all you guys in Arizona or Australia. Welcome to a typical UK autumn The trees are canted over in the gale. 43 miles of fun, wife made me hose myself down before coming near the house.

Not as spectacular as some of the fantastic places on this thread. But this is home in Yorkshire, UK, and it is beautiful, the trees are starting to turn.

Does anyone do a quick release, demountable, but robust front mudguard? I ask, because I transport my 25kg bike in the back of my estate car. I remove the front wheel and turn the forks 90 degrees, to get it in. It is easy and convenient. Only downside (apart from the mud) this leaves the...

Found yet more trails within battery range of home Hidden valley in the middle of the moors.

I love road cycling almost as much as eMTB. And love pro cycling. Anyone else ? Tour de France starts this weekend. All the restrictions mean there is very little form going into the race. Anything could happen. Can anyone stop Primoz Roglich. Egan Bernal ??? I will take a wild punt on...

This evenings steady ride. Still finding new trails within battery range of home. This trail looks like it hasn't been travelled in years. With all the challenges out there in the world, it is all too easy to forget the beauty of nature that surrounds us.

See RockShox thread in General section regarding upgrading to 2021 Debonair Air Spring. My fork is well overdue a lower leg service, now well over 100 hrs, but not a concern (I think 50 hrs is over the top). Gearing up to do it at the weekend if raining. New SKF low friction seals etc. But the...
