A heated discussion occurred in my office today. I work for a large German company and some of my colleagues in Manchester are also German. During lunch we were discussing bikes in general and the brakes came up. I’m mid 50’s and every bike I care to remember (that’s loads of em) have had the...

I hate ‘em

I settle on a 1000 miles for front sprocket, chain and cassette. Change all 3 together.

If you have the purian display the trip, total mileage and range can be shown. If you range is showing then press and hold the minus button and it will switch to the trip, press and hold again and it’ll switch to the total mileage, press and hold again and it’ll go back to the range.

There’s no spec change on the Rail 7 but the yellow/green has been replaced with green/navy.

hi, that’s great review, well done. One point though, your keys. I have the same style keys with my early Trek PF7 and the ring goes through the black eyelet / key cover but not the key. I’ve had 2 separate, fortunately I found each key on my garage floor. The key has a hole in it but it didn’t...

in her defence that is a steep track and that was probably the easiest part of it. I wasn’t best pleased with my chosen route but you live and learn. ? It is highly recommended though just for the views over to Manchester & beyond.

Some new pads, front & rear. Timing perfect after today’s climb and decent.

Pilgrims Cross, Holcombe Hill then back down via Redishaw Wood. The drop to the right was bloody steep. Wife not happy coming down there.

Yep, no problem.........on the flat. As a 50 something I’m not attempting any stunts, off / up kerbs etc, falls hurt too much.

If you’re local to Shack Wrap you’re probably local to me. Which LBS do you use, Cooksons Whitefield?

Who’s your local wrappers?

Has anyone had their bikes colour changed by wrapping? How net and tidy is it around the suspension parts and other tricky areas?

I really want a 7 but there’s only 2 colour schemes. As per yours (my wife’s is the same) and the day glow yellow & blue (can’t see me on that) hence my original post of the 5 in olive/black and gear upgrades. The wrapping in a different colour is a possibility but unlike invisiframe I think...

I found this nut loose on my wife’s Rail 7 (same as above) yesterday. Off to LBS this morning to have it tightened up. This seems quite common, is there a re-call from Bosch regarding this?

Now wrapping sounds like an idea but surely there are some real tricking parts around the rear suspension where it would be awkward to get a decent finish. Have you had any experience with it? I’ve googled it and there’s a company, Shack Wrap in Bury (5 miles away) that do it. I’ll give em a...

Hi all, I’ve well over 2000miles on my PF7 and I’m now thinking it’s time for a change. My wife has a Rail 7 (red/black) and she loves it. There’s no way I could have an identical bike and the yellow/blue option isn’t to my liking. As the basic spec on all the lower Rails is the same I’m...

Holcombe Moor earlier today.

I’ve just noticed that the badge on the left side of my wife’s 2020 CX has come off and is missing. Is this purely cosmetic or does it actually serve a purpose? I lost one on my Gen 2 but fitted the spare that came with my box of kit but the CX hasn’t come with one.

Pulled a bugger of a thorn from my front tyre yesterday, it sealed in seconds. Tubeless is the only way to go.
