    Full suspension touring bike with panniers and mud guards

    R&M do full suspension the correct way - the rack is on the frame and so it is suspended. My personal favorite is the New Charger Mixte GT touring hardtail with suspension seat post and Super Moto-X fat tyres - less weight than a FS, less complicated, same shock absorbing capacity IMHO, oh and...

    Days numbered for over 250w pedelecs??

    I read the article last night, it came up on my news feed. Z you should be ashamed for promoting such tripe! 1. It is a badly written piece of fluff - slow news day fodder 2. An e-bike that operates at 48 km/h throttle only is called a moped and they are illegal on French cycle paths 3. We are...

    Tyres Suggestion for Cube Race Reaction 500 2018

    There are so many puncture resistant tyres, which also grip the road, I don't get this love affair everyone seems to have with the Marathon Plus, which even members on here have said has let them down, literally, on a cold wet road. They are even hard to put on the rim!
