Neal, I can't remember if I have mentioned this, but the horrid muddy bridleway at Keymer, that leads to the windmill, now has a lovely hard packed stone covering. A friend of mine broke his ankle walking along it, and the council were forced into doing something about it. And in another...

I can sympathise with you in those conditions. I have had to push the bike on more than one occasions when things get so clogged up, and the wheels won't even turn. It soon drains your energy doing so. With walk assist, you need to select a high gear to make any significant forward progress. I...

Looking at the second photo, you had far worse conditions than I did. :eek: It isn't pleasant when the chainstay and derailleur clog up.

That time of year again. Some photos chosen because I happen to like the photo, and some simply because of the moment and memory. A frosty start to the year. Against the odds. An early start to the day. Four that make me long for warm sunny spring and summer days and evenings...

From my experience, Rutland Cycles are superb to deal with, and Luke http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/members/rutland-cycling.21126/ that uses this very forum, is a credit to the company.

Seemingly even cheaper here, if I have the right bike shown. https://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/cube-acid-hybrid-one-500-29-hardtail-e-mtb-bike-2018?s=googleshoppingppc&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIu_zz8M622AIVqr3tCh0PVAB2EAQYBSABEgJHCvD_BwE .

Riding in bright sunshine in the Alps is easily my favourite of riding conditions, but the conditions yesterday were or are some of my favourite. When it is as wet and rainy as it was yesterday, the mud doesn't tend to cling to the bike or tyre, as it is constantly washed off, so making riding...

Lovely, and what a contrast in conditions and climate. ☺

That was a good price for the level of quality. I'm sure that I paid about £23.00 for mine, but didn't realise this until the account bill came in. Still worth every penny though, given the abuse that the bits have had to put up with. I used to call the kit my last chance bit set. If these...

The smaller kit is kind of cycle back pack friendly, or so I thought, but in truth after buying it, I haven't found a use for it. So currently a completely wasted purchase that stays at home. The small grey socket is by memory a bit adapter. My kit now also contains a few very small drill bits...

Yep, another good bit of kit, that I have been using an almost daily basis at work, for about the last three years. I have also recently bought the smaller version as well. The ratchet is of exceptionally good quality, and I particularly like it's fine movement. The bits are also incredibly...

Funny how a new tool can seemingly become your new favourite tool. Because of a mess up with an order I bought one of these Park Tool AWS1C hex wrench the other day. I'm already wondering how I managed without for all of these years, and intend to expand with more of them, as discount codes...

Love it. :) It also highlights an issue, that shows that companies don't take on board or even listen to what they are being told by the end user, and aren't using end users to test products prior to launch. I have never seen the point of just using pro riders to test, especially when they are...

Mike, there are certainly cheaper options that are just as good. This one for example gets good reviews. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/x-tools-pro-gear-hanger-alignment-tool-one-size/ They are tool that you hopefully don't/won't need very often, but take all the guess work out, and make the...

Giving this more thought, my power issue/glitch aside, the main issue as I see it is with gearing. I frequently find myself pulling away on steep inclines from a stand still using either the 40t or 48t gear/ratio. eMTB mode doesn't know what gear that you are in so presumably will apply the...

Don't worry, I don't think that you are being argumentative, but yes I do have a hatred for the system. Okay, mine has had a massive installation issue from new, where by the power setting makes the mode unusable for most riding conditions, in that it kicks in too fiercely, meaning loss of...

The perfect way to end the year, with a very wet afternoon ride in the local playground. Sadly I cut the ride short at 10 miles with an elevation gain of 1,325ft as I lost track of time, and thought that it was an hour later than it was, and didn't have my lights with me. It was still one of...

Bike discount.de They are a brilliant company to deal with, and the delivery times put many a British company to shame. https://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/schwalbe-magic-mary-evo-27.5-addix-folding-640689 .

Nothing wrong with my eyes. My definition of off road riding, extends to more than just riding across the local park or football pitch. .

I've played around with several differing makes of sealant over the years, but keep coming back to two makes. http://www.effettomariposa.eu/en/products/caffelatex-sealant/ The product has served me very well, and has consistently prevented failure by puncture. I also really rate their valve...
