    Unanswered As a fellow U.K. emtb rider ... I have COVID 19.

    If you, a muggins on an internet forum, think you know better than the experts at the WHO, then you are truly delusional and unfortunately one of the many ignorant people who spread misinformation that the medical and scientific community fight against. Dear "brother" (cringe)... what are your...

    Article Next Generation: Forestal Siryon

    This reminds me of the modern Kickstarter projects... a lot of hype and marketing to draw people in. The bike won't even be out until October so I think it's a little premature to have a video dedicated to raving about it. For all we know it could be extremely disappointing and unreliable when...

    Article Next Generation: Forestal Siryon

    Hmm , interesting 'spec sheet'. My initial reaction: 1. Nice idea but I think the last thing I want is a screen integrated into my bike frame. When (not if) it breaks, the entire bike goes back instead of just a separate display. 2. 4G, good for GPS but that may be a drain on battery. 3. DVO...

    STOP riding...

    The mind boggles at the lack of thought and logic that went into making an announcement for free entry into national trust parks and gardens at a time when social distancing was required. People were obviously then going to congregate there as some falsely perceived outdoor safe haven. Having...

    Bosch Gen 4 decal

    Hmm, weird. I would use some of that fixing tape that you get to put pictures on to walls without nails or screws. Very strong but can be removed if needed. Otherwise, use some superglue...

    Hi from switzerland

    I know these are stressful times but try and relax a little.... :) What are your thoughts about the bike so far (based on the wholly unsubstantiated rumours flying around of course)? :)

    Hi from switzerland

    Oh come on... The comp is only 11% heavier than the S-works (19.4KG vs 17.4KG). If you think that 2KG is worth an additional 9000chf when you have already spent your time complaining about the price then you maybe have your priorities a little wrong. It's still almost 5KG lighter than most...

    Hi from switzerland

    How is the spec of the Forestal 'perfect' for you? Do you know what motor it has and how it performs (seems like it's their own motor)? Are you familiar with how good and how well performing the suspension fork (I have never seen that one mentioned in group tests or reviews) and other components...

    Hi from switzerland

    Gruzzi! Just be aware that, generally speaking: -No current electrical motor of these sizes and power output will be 'completely silent' when stressed. -With Ebikes of higher value, additional weight is usually a result of tough quality components, a strong motor and a big battery. If a bike...

    STOP riding...

    It's not about carrying the virus and contaminating the hospital, the hospital is already full of contaminated people and a cyclist is not likely to be infected while out on a ride. It's about diverting medical resources to treat your cycling injury that should be used to treat people affected...

    How to be a Dick on an E-Bike

    Yup, ditto. Only insecure ****'s care who speeds past them on any climb. Why would it "not be nice" to see a 70 year old out and enjoying his or herself? The mind boggles.

    Which rear mudguard for Cube Stereo?

    Arrgh that's what I thought, I couldn't see how it would stop the mud if the mudguard didn't go past the end of the tyre! Thanks for confirming that I am not completely hopeless at primary school-level physics, Mrs Jenkins would be proud! :D

    Bosch Gen4 motor cover

    Also interested in this. I did a google and saw that there are a lot of generic ones but no idea which are good or not and information seems to be pretty thin on the ground in this area...

    Which rear mudguard for Cube Stereo?

    Any ideas on the above please guys? I just looked at the Mudhugger by putting it on the bike roughly how it would be mounted and I really don't know if it is the right size or not just from looking at it. :(
