    Sram UHD - Trek specific?

    Bit curious on this myself....... Almost took the plunge on a couple of the nukeproof ones on chain reaction when they were on offer at about £8 but wasn't 100% sure it'd fit....... Looks almost the same but hard to tell about that washer from the ropey pics they seem to insist on using

    Cycling with Diabetes

    hahahaha always just the essentials! Pretty sure I could feed a small family with the "just in case foods" in my backpack when I'm riding 😆 Ouch! Surprised they've not given you something as a run around while yours is getting its back end seen too 👀 That doesn't sound like bike related stuff...

    Cycling with Diabetes

    Congratulations on joining the damaged goods club! :LOL: I've been a type 1 for over 10 years now and have a few tricks I use for the longer rides. I usually turn down my basal rate (on a pump) about an hour before I head out to get some extra glucose in the system then it stays on a reduced...

    @Tonybro sounds like the best weather the NW has to offer 🤣 Have to say you're a brave man. I looked at the weather warnings and took refuge on my sofa. Its almost sounding like there may be a pack of us wild northerners developing here.......

    its a stonking bike, you won’t be disappointed. Only negative I have to say is the stock saddle though. Brings a tear to the eye on anything longer than a quick hour blast ?

    Hi from Bolton!

    Thanks! Yup the 9 is something special in the flesh! Hi @Tonybro, thanks for the warm welcome. I did the run towards Healey Nab on Friday…..didn’t quite make it to the Nab tho as it was a bit warm so I bailed and went for a pint at the brewery instead ?

    Hi all from Horwich, looking for other local riders.

    Hi there! Looks like the invasion of the northerners has started ? I’ve been riding a lot of stuff up Rivi recently too with my recent acquisition and like yourself am looking for a few to go out riding with. Hopefully we can meet soon and do a bit more exploring ? How are you finding the new...

    Hi from Bolton!

    Hi all, having recently snagged a Trek Rail this forum has been a godsend to help me make sure my new steed stays in one piece. It’s been a hell of an upgrade from the hardtail I’ve been riding for the last year and a bit! I’ve been out riding around the Bolton area and up Rivington but is...
