I've been riding bikes all my life but started on 'proper' bikes when I was about 16 (95'/'96) when I a new Azonic DS-1 frame and built my dream MTB which at the time was a street trial/woods trails bike and since then I've had many different types of bikes including BMX, Trial, Dual Slalom...

I have a 27.5" x 2.10 - 3.00 Schwalbe Freeride Inner Tube No. 21F × 1 in my bag. I run tubeless but figure if that fails for some reason it can't hurt to have a tube handy. It's not lightweight or anything special but I think the weight penalty is offset by how useful it might be one day 🤷‍♂️

Kriega Hydro 3 Water, Crank Brothers multitool, spare tube, tyre levers, mini pump, keys, wallet, phone and snack. I know it's not exactly what the OP was after but it works really well for me because it holds all I need including water, it's comfortable and waterproof. The straps are wide and...

They're on the radio now saying cyclists should be fined for speeding and like you said, that entales bikes having calibrated Speedos and numberplates. Most BMXs nowadays don't even have brakes let alone Speedos 🤣 "I can't risk trying a tailwhip off that ledge in case I break my Speedo again"

IKR, that's why it's shocking that these ideas are even being banded around.

And then indicators 🤣 And road tax, and instant fines for riding on the pavement etc Seriously though where would they draw the line because street BMX and Street Trials bikes pretty much always ride out in public areas on pavements/concrete public spaces etc. Also potentially having to display...

It's Sky News but yeah, it's not a done deal but it's a glimpse into the ideas that some people are pushing for.

🤣 silver lining.

Yeah, I feel like some road cyclists are causing issues on the roads so MTB riders are going to get caught up in silly blanket rules for all cyclists.

This, I've found the higher cadence that e-MTBs require for climbing is where the workout comes from, spinning the cranks definitely gets the heart rate up.

🤦‍♂️ https://news.sky.com/story/cyclists-could-face-speed-limits-and-may-need-number-plates-reports-say-12674899 Speed limits for road cyclists I totally get, if a car has to do 20mph on a certain road then so should cyclists but the whole notion that all cyclists (assuming MTBs as well) have...

This is exactly what I've found. The only thing that has helped me in the past with a pair of Fox MTB gloves by reducing the effect but not completely getting rid of it is washing them in the washing machine about 100 times before wearing them, this helps wash out most of (but not all of the...

I haven't actually no, thanks I'll take a look.

Haha I've tried that too, it doesn't work as well as you'd think, they just don't fit under normal gloves and you end up filling them with buckets of sweat.

One dished 5p later (thanks @MrPeaski) 🤙🏻 The cranks are off and don't appear to be bent, no offset value written on them anywhere (unless EC43-F11 means anything to anyone) so still unsure as to what's going on. Unfortunately the chainring lockring tool I ordered doesn't fit (Icetoolz M801)...

I was originally quoted about £1600 but after the measure up and quote it came in at just £1200, see my post above for spec, it wasn't a cheapo low spec one.

UK? I paid £1200 all in for my electric roller with built in alarm. Dean Garage Doors did it for me (Home), free quote at my address, decent brand door with alarm, insulated, color of my choice, removal and disposal of the old door and they were cheaper than anyone else. In fact they were even...

Nice idea but I've tried this before, the problem is sweat gets into the pads and draws some chemical out of the neoprene and then gets back to the skin. And I did email most of the main brands and also most of the main online shops about 2 years ago and pretty much none of the ever responded 🤔

According to their website they are indeed made of neoprene.

Nice one thanks, I'll take a look. It's surprising how many brands don't actually list the materials online.
