    Covid: A boring responsibility question ?

    Was having a talk with the doctors at one of my client sites this morning and one of them brought up a very interesting point. In one of the local news media was a long article about how over-worked undertakers are and how they need extra staff and support to continue to bury the huge number of...

    Just picked up a 2021 Trek Rail 7...first ride and big concern

    I showed that pic to the owner of my LBS. He is positive that the cause is that it was badly put together. He has a long history working for an importer andhas seen it several times. The front mount bolt was tightened up fully then the rear one was tightened loading up the front one - or vice...

    Bike was stolen whilst in for repair

    That one is old as the hills. Had this happen at our MC shop in the 70's and ended up doing a RePo with a couple of the mechanics once we located the bike. As soon as dad was denied coverage he had his lawyer write up an Indemnity document for test rides and made sure his insurance company...

    Road tires on my Levo?!? Get outta here!

    I bought a Nukeproof set on special from CRC - 160 quid or thereabouts. Then needed a couple rotors, which I had a spare set hanging on the wall. After that it was a cluster & a pickup magnet and all ready to roll. Sometimes I will have a set of XC rubber on it if I am doing long social...

    Fork travel increase of 20mm and better forks?

    I expect they will make a massive improvement. The extra length will slacken the steering some. I presume that is the Aspect eRide 40? Should be able to handle no problems.

    Road tires on my Levo?!? Get outta here!

    Chain Life

    1350km on the SRAM NX Eagle chain and looking like 1600-1800 will be time to change. Have a 36 chainring so might throw that on shortly with a new chain and keep the current chain in a bag with the original chain ring. Surprised at how well it is holding up, but that may be because I am swapping...

    Bike was stolen whilst in for repair

    According to my friendly insurance agent @Bluegord1993 should not have to provide reciepts. The bike shop has acknowledged his bike was one of them stolen and he has pictures to show how it was kitted out. Doesn't matter if he paid full retail or got 50% off in a fire sale - how the bike was...

    Bike was stolen whilst in for repair

    ^^ @Zimmerframe nailed it. As you have some great pics there can be no argument as to what was on your bike. Insurance company can bitch and moan all they like, but at the end of the day they have to pay out full value/like replacement. If it was your insurance there would/could be clauses...

    Snacks on Tracks

    Poll: ?? ? or ? out on the single tracks?

    Just as a side comment - one place I ride has a 'No Earbuds or Headphones' policy and several others are currently considering similar policies.

    Poll: ?? ? or ? out on the single tracks?

    Sadly I come across them on MTB specific trails - big signs .. No walkers, No Horses, No Dogs. Usually the answer is .... I am a RUNNER not a walker. Same deal twatwaffle ... I hit you with my 130kg + combined bike & rider weight and you will not be running, walking or doing fuck all else...
