Chris now knows what is really important on a tyre, GOLD WRITING. My new tyres and rims passed with a 10. Really pleased as tested them hard today; stones, roots, big fast drops and steep stand up to pedal climbs. I had some sharp hard knocks on the tyres as it is pretty relentless in places...

Hopton Woods with Chris and Lin in the sun, the most enjoyable of days. Dry and fast with beautiful views, not that we stopped to do much looking.

Post # 80 is 100 % ! I hope !! I am not half hearted more half assed. As I know you like dogs, here is mine helping.

I have Marathon Plus MTB's, which are a good tyre but only 2.1 inch so a bit thin on the bike, also Big Ben's which are a better road tyre and a good width for a hard tail but thought I would try the SS's as they are wider and have some off road ability. My "road" tyres will still have to do...

Finally, it has taken weeks. But I do now have two sets of rims and tyres for my bike. A set of road tyres on the old rims (Smart Sam Plus) and the new rims for off road ( Magic Mary on the front and a Hans Dampf on the rear ). They do easily swap over and the brakes are good, the magnetic...

Generally a hardtail eMTB does not even come with pedals yet a trekking version comes with all the kit, mudguards, lights and a rack as standard to be road legal. Plus an extra £ 600 for the pleasure.

Natural climber ! We are having the most beautiful evenings. Out on my Coke break, I even congratulated myself tonight on buying the bike and being out in the fresh air in the middle of nowhere, moon shining, loving every moment. There will be a tear in my eye next.

I took this photo of the A 49 at Ashton, a very busy and nasty road, I never cycle on it. I was out near it last night and the road was closed so I cycled over and parked my bike and took a picture. Reason for the road closure; a cycle club were doing time trials and turning round in a big...

Great minds... Just got to refit the mudguards.

None of you have ever cycled through the over flow from a septic tank, lane by a milking farm or lane where the sheep have been driven down? Or have my misses saying "how old are you". SW, that's about as useful as a G string on an Elephants bum. Mud guards are for men.

So what do you think with 50% of the job done ? The Mary was a lot easier to get back on than when new, no fairy liquid but a big screw driver taped up. So it can be done, maybe the Kevlar ones loosen up after a bit. Had to roll the wheel and tube a bit to coax it to blow up with the foot...

Really simple to use, has "return to base" built in so where it takes off from it comes back to if the battery gets low or loses signal. I use android and the app keeps stopping so you need it to be autonomous. Have been 1.5 miles from unit but no further, chicken out then, have got the extra...

SG Magic Mary or Hans Dampf, no easy way to fit at all. Watched the video on fitting difficult tyres by pushing the tyre into the well of the rim to make fitting sooo easy. In reality once you have the one side in there is no room in the well for the other side, another urban myth. Specialist...

Does he drive a VW transporter as well.

Look at their heads to see the answer, no smiles either. They must be loving it!

The lad I went cycling with has a new cycle computer, so finally I am able to get an understanding of going up and down as previously I lived in blissful ignorance, which is also the next village over. We did 11.2 miles, ascended 1048 feet and descended 1020 feet ! Will I come back down to...

It is spring and I think Jet's wardrobe is getting a bit shabby. Do you have more ebikes than he has bibs ? So time to splash out for the summer. Get your wife or daughter to take him shopping, remember Orange is the new Black !

Is that not a Nemorum to you Southeners Would it be the National Nemorum ? Or World's greatest Nemorum ? Nemorum of the South. ! Nothing else needs to be said.

Did you cycle through dog city ?
