    That time of year again. Swiss trip 2018

    I'm sure that the years are passing by quicker and quicker, and the annual trip to the Swiss Alps has semingly come round even quicker this time. I had hoped that I would be taking the Scott E-Genius 720 as the trip would of made for a brilliant review of the bike, but the failure to deliver a...

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    Riding around here, almost everyone would be surprised to discover that running along side many of the forest pathways, are secondary trails that only I seem to either know about, or have created. It's a brilliant way of keeping away from public eye, and also not having to use chewed up...

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    Many thanks georgehenry, but if I were using the bike as a daily commute, I certainly wouldn't be putting this kind of effort into it. I do get great satisfaction from cleaning and detailing though, and my cleaning methods seem to change and evolve quite frequently. Even with this clean, I have...

    Bike for heavy user

    It sounds like you have a positive goal, so that can only be a good thing. I've also been very lucky in respect of my weight, but I can certainly say that I know some very big lads that ride road bikes, and are way fitter than I will ever be. Just make sure that you ride for the pleasure and...

    Bike for heavy user

    Personally, I wouldn't be hung up about your weight. I know of someone that weighs 25st and rides a Spelialized Levo with no due care or concern. Being positive, once you have the bike, your fitness and lifestyle will improve, and along with that, weight loss. :) The main thing is to ensure...

    Back in February of this year I happened to spot that Rutland Cycling were taking applications for their ambassador programme, and figuring that I had nothing to loose, decided to apply, and was recently surprised to discover that I was amongst six other successful applicants to have been...

    Clean enough to get dirty again! I reckon that I've now got the upper hand on the bike detailing. Marks and bruises aside, the Fogo scrubs up very well, and once again feels as good as new. I also have a new three stage frame and wheelset cleaning method, which will be interesting for me to see...

    Riese+Muller Delite 2018 Nuvinci Review

    I don't see it as a problem. By sharing an opinion negative or otherwise about a review irrelevant of the respondents bike ownership, gives perhaps unconsidered thought to potential purchasers. Without questioning or offering opinion, a review is just stale and biased for or against by the...

    Scott/Bosch v Giant/Yamaha long term reliability review.

    Breaking this down. You haven't stated what the brake issue was, but certain sure, that the issue could be put down to not having a proper and fit maintenance regime. Bearing issues.... Irrelevant of brand, bearings wear on all mtb's and eMTB's full suspension or hardatil, when used in an...

    Scott/Bosch v Giant/Yamaha long term reliability review.

    How can you compare the two? One is solely a road bike, and one has been used as an off road bike. Ride the Giant off road for a year or so, then come back with comparisons.

    E-joring

    Now that was brilliant, and easily the best clip that I seen for a very long time. I really loved that there was no music, and all that you could hear was the bike and the sounds of nature. Superb. :)

    How do you recycle a cardboard box that's smothered in tape?

    I thought that this was the reason for having a neighbour.

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    I initially thought the same, but he was quite happy to have his photo taken, and yes I did ask his permission first. :) He is actually in a fair number of photographs when I Googled what he was part of. :)
