The unicorn of the bicycle world 😂 It's only been about 7 weeks since I ordered it... despite them originally saying 11 days!

This just turned up with no warning! I've used Swinnerton a few times now and they've always been fine - but I sent 4 emails asking about this thing, and they never replied to any of them. For anyone wondering - even if the description has pin and screw in it, as long as it has POD, then it's...

You surely can’t be serious?? … why on earth would you put Darth in the same wheel as Luke, Leia and Han?! There needs to be further thought put into this 😂

Everyone is different. My bike lives in my garage, which also doubles as a golf simulator - and is immaculately clean. As a result, my bike needs to be spotless before I take it in and store it on the ceiling! Mine usually comes home in mud, and lots of pine needles. It has usually dried in...

Who ya gonna call... Twin Tubers!

As per my previous comment - that must mean the tubes cross over each other? I'd have thought the only way to make this work would be to put the tubes side by side?

From about page 40 in the User Manual, it kind of becomes the service manual. Shows exploded diagrams of all pivots, bearings etc... and lists all torques for every bolt on the bike.

Keeping it on topic - punctures!

That's a shame, as I have a question about his proposal... If you're going to drill an extra hole in the rim, where do you do it? 180° from the original? Surely that's going to end up in the inner tubes crossing over each other at some point, which is going to cause problems when you inflate...

The only time I ever see SurRon’s is with 16 year olds dressed from head to toe in black, balaclavas, no helmets… wheelieing up the middle of dual carriageways in the dark with no lights on. They’ve got a real bad rep for being the chosen bike of drug runners. I often wonder if they have a...

That’s the one I have preordered from Swinnerton. I’ve asked them 3 times to confirm it’s the part I think it is (as the description is a bit ambiguous since the POD doesn’t have pins or screws), but they just don’t answer. It was originally dated mid Oct, and keeps moving! I bet escapebikes...

Sorry - maybe I’m confusing things… but I’m just looking for the LH POD Rocker upgrade - not the whole POD. The £20(ish) rocker that you swap out with the buttons on an existing POD.

I don't think I've ever seen a pair of gloves wearing through the finger tips like that before? My fingers aren't pressed hard into the tips - there's a bit of give around them, so I can't see mine going like that. Will have to keep an eye out for a discounted pair to have a spare.

What are you searching for on Bike Tart? I can't find them 🙄 My LH rocker upgrade from Swinnerton has changed date about 3 times since I ordered it, and they don't reply to any emails. I'd be tempted to order elsewhere and cancel my original order.

I'm afraid I've never tried the Archer D1XTrail paddle, so I can't comment on whether the POD rocker has a lighter action or not. As AXS is now fairly common on many retail bikes, I would suggest taking a trip to a local bike shop and putting your hands on one to judge for yourself. The rocker...

Me too. The manufacturers claiming you should change them each time you separate them is clearly a moneymaking scheme. My previous XX1 chains were off and on about 10 times each in their lifetime as I used to rotate them and take them into work and clean them in the ultrasonic bath. I never...

I'm still at work - nearly 2 hours past my finishing time as I'm a miserable git and can't be bothered with kids coming to the door! My wife has taken my kids out, so there's a pumpkin full of sweets sitting at my front door for them to help themselves. In 2019, I had some spare time and made...
