    I'm already trying to work out a way of doing a complete horse from it, but to do so, would mean going through two gardens and the army camp. Then when you get to the other side, you end up in a no mans land of boggy terrain that is impossible to cross. The two gardens and army camp, would be...

    I swear that it wasn't me! :D Actually, Uckfield was a no go area. :oops: I visit those areas quite frequently, although of course not on the eMTB. Like every other mountain bike rider from this area, I wouldn't be seen riding there. .

    Change of plan. After seeing a resemblance to a horse in yesterday Strava recorded ride, I couldn't resist going back out again, for a bit of 'Horsing Around' My legs are ripped to shreds, as the area were the teeth are, was just fallen trees and brambles. It was real bastid to get through!

    Go to work on a Pineapple! Wisper Folder sneak preview.

    Just another thought after spending time looking at Youtube clips of folders. One point that seems to get raised is bottle cage mounts, or rather the lack of them. Clearly a horizontal mount is less than perfect, as is a mount behind the seat post tube, but it could add to the usefulness if you...

    Today wasn't the brightest of days to be out for a ride. With the snow almost melted away, the conditions weren't exactly pleasant either, so I cut the ride short taking to the road instead. I think that this coming week might be the time to forget riding, and pay the bike a bit of much...

    Go to work on a Pineapple! Wisper Folder sneak preview.

    As much as I hate to say this given my bad experience of the brand, I always felt that the BH Neo Volt had alot going for it. It was quite ahead of it's time with it's integrated/removable battery, and I guess sleek looks for a folder. Not posted to distract from the thread, just to give you a...

    How i can increase max speed of my bike?

    Or perhaps people should take note of the quoted text below, before starting a thread. That way, there would be no need for anyone to pass comment.

    Go to work on a Pineapple! Wisper Folder sneak preview.

    I have just thought of something else. The colour. Whilst black is easily my favourite bike colour, a matt finish as shown, is going to be a nightmare to keep clean. If you are going to be making the bike finish black, I'd lean towards a satin finish. Gloss black might cheapen the look of the...

    Go to work on a Pineapple! Wisper Folder sneak preview.

    I wouldn't want a derailleur gear set up, or metal chain if I were in the market for a fold up bike. By the very nature of the design of a folding bike, someone is going to be folding it up, and carrying it. A derailleur is sooner or later going to cause an issue with a bent hanger, and the...

    KTM Kenny, the coolest brand ambassador.

    Here you go Nealh, something far more suitable. He took a liking to a Raleigh Twenty that I recently picked up for my daughter to use next year whilst at University.

    KTM Kenny, the coolest brand ambassador.

    A good mate of Antony Gormley popped past today. After taking in an ice tea and chilling out for a while, he gave the KTM Fogo 271 the once over, but decided that it was just too hot for him to handle. KTM Kenny, the coolest brand ambassador out there. .

    I've given it a miss today as well. I can be off road and riding within a minute, but didn't fancy chancing the icy road ride. I did spend half an hour plus with the hot air gun, de-icing and drying the bike. The brakes were still locked solid, and it took a surprising amount of time to get...

    Waterproofing Bosch System

    I'm not sure why you would need to? I've yet to have had an issue with either. :) .

    Sadly I had to cut the ride short after just ten miles. Both brake calipers had frozen solid, and I had no brakes. The rear mech was also doing it's own thing!

    How was your commute this morning?

    The afternoon hasn't been so bad either for ride two of the day. I'm back out again tonight. :)

    How was your commute this morning?

    Quite a chilled ride here. :) Not a bad average or maximum speed considering I had to stop and slow for several cars, and also filter through some traffic lights.

    We finally have some snow here now as well. I can't wait to get back out again tonight for some forest riding fun. I also can't believe just how much grip that plus size tyres give on the snow and slush covered roads. Superb fun. :)

    Brake pads

    I have no idea, but suspect that they aren't going to be a pad that the average rider is ever going to need. I didn't even know that you could buy them. More research to carry out. :) .
