    Danidl, the comment by Chris_n, was directed at Parky for his misuse of Strava, by intentionally setting out to upset pedal cyclists, and to alienate pedelec riders even further from regular cyclists. To quote Parky "(saying that I’m doing my best on Strava to ruffle the ‘roadies’ feathers with...

    Until seeing your photo, I have never noticed that my own trigger shifter isn't black. Funny what details that you can miss about your own bike.

    NSFW German ebike marketing video

    You really don't want to watch the promo clip for the Kona Stinky and Kona Sutra.

    Not a bad clip of the track that one of my friends owns, which is just a couple of miles away from my house. Just a shame that I'm not into this kind of riding. 'https://www.pinkbike.com/v/embed/487241/?colors=C80000' .

    Advice please

    My opinion is the opposite. I use the tool at least once a month. With the terrain that I ride, having branches/twigs flick up and jam and bend things is an inevitable thing, and being able to quickly and accurately straighten and true the hanger is essential to me. My only regret is not having...

    Where the trail never ends. I'm really loving the new playground. Sometimes, even I seem to find things that I can't get up. I gave it a few tries, but being on my own made it a bit iffy. Also, now that the stream has dropped in depth, I can get back to one of my favourite pastimes...

    Drab Bosch engine covers

    I'd sooner go with the first option that I gave you, but if you want to restore/enhance the colour, then the following will work, but isn't a cheap option...

    Advice please

    I'm a bit confused. Why do you need a new derailleur? Surely it is just the hanger that has snapped. .

    Sorry for the delay in replying to your question Nev, and thank you for your kind words. I don't tend to use the camera phone, preferring instead to use a Panasonic DMC-FZ18 that I paid about £30.00 for on Ebay. I also have a Fugifilm Finepix XP70 waterproof compact that frequently come out...

    Gravel Bikes

    I frequently see them as well, but bear in mind the majority of riders are only just out of nappies, and are super fit. Also bear in mind the CX style bikes are very prone to pinch flats when used on the harsh flint conditions of SD. I was giving this, or rather you, some thought this evening...

    I could well be mistaken, but doesn't Kudos Dave have a place and or boat in Portugal? If he does, it could well prove to be a starting point in respect of batteries. .

    11-42 cassette? Which one?

    I haven't used the 11 speed, but certainly can't speak highly enough of the Sunrace 11-42 ten speed cassette, and they have served me very well over the years, including several trips to the alps. The last one completed approx 3,500 miles of use, before slippage on gears 15t and 18t spelt the...

    Pinarello Nytro e-bike video review

    With a 500wh battery, either the KTM Macina Flite or Bianchi Impulso would be my choice. http://www.flidistribution.co.uk/ebikes/bosch-drive---hybrid-city-bikes/2018-ktm-macina-flite-11...
