    Solo riders word of caution

Felt like a new man with...

    STUnlocker (ex Shimano STEPS Unlocker) Android & Windows App for derestriction/market change and etc

    As a quick reminder to above.Remember never post a screenshot of your own bikes settings, if you encounter issues on trying to connect.I found the creator of the software to be very quick on answering my questions.

    STUnlocker (ex Shimano STEPS Unlocker) Android & Windows App for derestriction/market change and etc

    Looks like I should visit forum more frequently, appeared to have missed a bit of a heated debate.I would presume 95% of emtb owners are adults if only based on cost alone.As such we are all aware of the legality of tuning our bikes and possible consequences of being caught and stress on our...

    New hip blues

    Mark I have physio on Friday this week.I will see what they say and if looking good would be good to arrange a ride out at Swinley.As you said fire roads to start I think “Baby maker” may be a bit extreme at this stage. Cycled Hayling puffing Billy many times ,cracking bit of family...

    Shimano E8000 derestricting options

    Bought myself the Shimano PCE1 interface and looking to go Emax route.Quick question before I download the free software edition is it possible to set speed to USA without the licensed serial number .20mph seems like a sweet cutoff point for now
