Thanks for letting us know. I’d have completely missed this. Long overdue. I’ve added “ebike field nerd style” to the EMTB activity as well. I already had this installed and it was pretty easy to add it to the new activity screens.

Photography for me. It started innocently enough and grew into an all-consuming thing that saw me nearly go full time. I ended up earning good money from sports photography, advertising and commercial stuff, and a lucrative line in private school events and brochure-ware. I did 6 weeks in...

I have an XL sized SL with an EXT Storia shock. The RE does not fit on mine so unlikely to fit on yours if you had this setup. But...I simply bought one of those little brackets that moves the water bottle mounting holes off centre to the right, and the RE fits straight in. I think it was this...

Nice evening ride over to Blackheath near Guildford.

Etoni…wow.

I just changed to GX AXS on my SL. Two rides in, first impressions are that the shifting is just excellent. Smooth and instant. No vagueness. It’s crisp and responsive compared to cable shifting. I find the shift switch is a bit close to the grip for comfort so I’ll see about adjusting that a...

Maybe he did that earlier when he was going to buy some new wheels, and is now £1500 up and wants to spend it on the bouncy stuff.

With the media mod and the mic receiver, it does get a bit heavy for a chin guard mount. My preference is a chest mount when I set it up like this.

I used to record in 4K on my GoPro 8 and drone (and static cam if I was using one), but have dropped everything back to 1080P now. Main reason is that it is plenty detailed enough and still looks really cool. Also you have fewer space issues on SD cards, and the resulting video is much faster to...

This has come up before in a number of threads, but it’s worth a refresh. My year-old SL is in the LBS awaiting a warranty fix. The bearing on the lower chain-side pivot bolt has collapsed, likely due to the bolt becoming loose. I’m normally quite meticulous checking bolt tightness, but that...

I was not aware of this advanced technique. I commit to practicing it twice daily until I can perfect it :) . Thank you for your spiritual guidance in this matter.

Nursing cracked ribs from my previous outing, I rode an extremely scenic loop here in south Skye which didn’t involve ludicrously steep descents and rib-crushing rocks. I think you’ll enjoy this one.

Skye to the sea. Lovely gentle loop on the Sleat peninsula on Skye this morning. Nothing gnarly, still recovering.

Gently does it. Nice easy vehicle track with no heavy breathing needed :-)

Nice ride down the Sleat peninsula on the Isle of Skye. Amazing views.

Thanks that is much appreciated. Its very kind of you to write that and perk me up. I think having walked up the route, and knowing how gnarly it was, I was nervous and tense for the way down. Not the way I’d want to be ideally. Also, I was 100% knackered by the time I got to the top which...

I imagine he's living in a mansion in LA these days :)

Thanks for the good wishes. I have ridden many routes up here as I live part of the year on Skye. I'd never done this one, and was somewhat egged on by my riding buddy Ian who is into Munro bagging on mountain bikes. He hadn't done this one either. Had I known....etc. Part of the purpose for...

Couple of cracked ribs I reckon, plus associated “contusions”. Can’t laugh or sneeze, or roll over in bed - that sort of thing. Must get some talent from somewhere!

Bheinn Fhada in northwest Scotland for you. A serious ascent and descent for experts only (i.e. not me, as I found out). Drone and chin mount gopro footage.
