Product Image: Product name: SicoMTB Rear Mud Guard Price paid: £35 Score (out of 10): 10 Review: I recently did a full service on a friends bike before he goes off for a week in Spain. He brought with him a rear mud guard and asked me to fit it - it was made by sicomtb who at the time I...

Exactly as stated - it's not a firmware change but it's variables stored for the motor program If you change ratio's the motor see's how fast you are pedalling from motor RPM and see's wheel RPM from the magnet sensor - but they don't work out. So if you go too far out of whack it could just...

I think Fox don't get sold well I have the proframe and it's excellent - but you need to find a local bike shop that explain the helmet comes with a whole bag of different size pads I bought mine from the shop at Dalby Forest and the guy took the time to let me try different combinations of the...

ww Yeah this... although personally I wouldn't touch Haibike after all the rear triangles breaking - and unless Giant have fixed their frame issues they seemed to have a lot of cracked frames Most of the "battle hardened" bikes though like the cube, orbea, specialized etc.. etc.. the frames...

To be honest I recommended the 160 as it was closer to your price range and has more travel I have the 140 and I've never once found it lacking - I got it because I prefer the 29er setup over the 27.5's The orbea wild is a fantastic bike though also and something I considered grabbing last year...

For me I still don't think you can beat cube for value for money https://www.wheelbase.co.uk/product/cube/stereo-hybrid/stereo-hybrid-160/cube-stereo-hybrid-160-hpc-slx-750-2023/ The 160 is under £5k and for that you get a carbon frame, bosch 750 system, ton of travel, great quality rockshox...

I bought the fox factory 36 in e-bike tune brand new last year. Best chunk of cash I've thrown at the bike since upgrading the rear to a factory DPX2. It's plush and has reduced the wrist pain I was suffering a lot. I don't think you'd look back

The new brakes are fantastic, I don't own any but have fitted some for a friend - very progressive and tons of power The hubs and mechanical stuff is good because it's very rebuildable and easy to service. I see people running hope hubs for a decade+ and I can see mine lasting longer than the...

I was about to say I'd be really careful mucking with it I bought some second hand fortus30 wheels with the pro 4 hub - I stripped them and serviced them, got the grease wrong and every time I let off the pedals kept going round cos the hub was sticking I couldn't find the genuine stuff so used...

Joyful isn't it :( - I wish I'd done something working outside instead of IT

Yeah I have a bad back as well - 25 years of sitting at a desk I can't think of any way that's easier really - as you say a ramp will mean you walking the bike up whilst climbing into the van and hunching over. In a transporter you can probably walk the bike in without bending over too much...

EMTB definitely. I rarely use turbo unless its just a really steep road climb. Turbo tends to spin the rear wheel on wet rocks/routes - EMTB offers a lot more control.

I have the dropframe pro for my regular riding, and the full face for more scary stuff I bought the dropframe after having a big off at Leeds bike park last year wearing a regular helmet and I smashed my cheek bone and tore my ear I liked the idea of having a bit of extra ear/side protection...

A ramp is the easiest solution Any kind of pull of drawer will be the same height as the bike You could in theory bolt a fork mount to a linear rail system, but I don't see how it would help, you'd connect the fork to it - then when sliding the bike in have to lift the back end up into the van...

Honestly these tubeless vs tubed arguments are monthly. The people who run tubes are happy and with the casual biking they do fair play. They will never listen to the benefits of tubeless because they don’t need it. If you’re doing roads and trails tubes are fine. If you’re dropping down rock...

I don't want to contribute to another tubeless argument But I will say even though I 100% would NEVER run tubes (went through like 4 in a single holiday- 2 years tubeless not a single issue)…. if I was changing tyres 2 or 3 times a year I'd probably not go tubeless Seating the tyres is easy...

You know.. I used to live in Lincoln and I was tempted to go back down that way or Newark when I buy a house. But since I got into biking I don't think I could - like an ironing board all the way to the sea :ROFLMAO:

Like they say in the world of photography, the best camera is the one you have with you. The best exercise equipment is the one you use. I have a gravel bike, treadmill, rowing machine, exercise bike… and I know for a fact my emtb gets 1-2k a year on it where the rest will gather dust 🙂

I do it all. A lot of bike parks, downhills, jumps etc…. But also done multi day 4-8hr rides XC and bridle ways. Have a converted van with leisure battery and inverter so I can do multiple day rides and charge inbetween. I enjoy bike parks and technical stuff more but do a lot of XC and bridle...

Skills do come into it. With pedals level they have same clearance as the BB If you’re smashing that on rocks there’s a huge issue lol I was crap when I started now I’m better at timing my pedalling around obstacles on rocky stuff
