Been running tubeless since 2014, both tyres, tape, valves and sealants have improved since then. Making sure you know what you are doing, centring the rim bead into the middle of the rim to ensure you have the slack to get the other bead on the rim is paramount or you will have a mare. I have...

I just ordered prescription sunnies from specs4less, were about £25. Not cycling specific but works well and not that bothered knackering a £25 pair of sunnies than a pair that's £200.

Literally just checked on Google Play and their was an update for the app.

After seeing things like this I made sure I paid for my bike on a Credit Card and then paid it off. It gives me the extra comfort that If I have a big problem they will sort it for me with the shop. Was looking at a Giant before I got the Orbea Wild, which touch wood has been faultless.

Some of the issue my be riding position and fore and aft position of the saddle and its height. Learnt a fair bit when I was riding my road bike and after getting back pain had a bike fit. Watching some youtube video can give you some ideas. I recommend Phil Burt who I had a bike fit with, he...

Was getting flex from the stock brake discs so upgraded to Hope 203`s and no more flex and pad rub. Note if you do this on a 22 Orbea Wild the Hope magnet does not work as its too far away from the sensor. Just use the original magnet and off you go.

Unsure on US consumer protection laws but they are taking the piss. Hope you get it sorted.

Had a Gore Goretex trail jacket for years, very waterproof and breathable as long as you look after it. Follow the washing instructions and tumble dry on low. The Gore Shakedry is the best I have ever used but not for MTBing as its so delicate you would soon destroy it.

Yeah, I swopped out my 35mm stem for a Hope 31.8 and put some enve bars on that I had spare.

Had mine for a while and does a great job on chains. Cleaned and went back to a wax lube. https://youtube.com/shorts/95zDISz1u68?si=EhCgVReeSyLbLnGd

I have my bikes now on the house insurance. But as my wife organises the house insurance I had to divulge the real costs of my bikes........her reaction was as below

A couple of more pics from my usual haunt of Guisboro woods. And short clip of the below.

Not bike parts but cycling wear. Spotted a deal on Wiggle for Endura Humvee II shorts and got a pair in L colour grey for £29.99 reduced from £64.99. They have just been delivered and considering they come with liners I am really impressed especially with the discounted costs...

From what I have read the 2020 wilds seemed to have more frame issues with the alloy one than the carbon frames. Too early for any feedback on the 23 models. I have had a carbon Bronson since 2015 and its been rock solid.

When coming round I hope your first words were "is my bike alright" 😁

Always happy for pointers on routes. I did ride up Osmotherley across to Bilsdale and there seems to be loads of tracks running across that area.

I generally head up that way from Kildale climbing up towards Baysdale and across toward the Lion, but I will add it to my list.

I will have a look.

Another short clips.
