    I've posted this on their facebook page. I wonder if I'll get a response? Click to view. o_O Hi, I've just been informed that this event will not allow e-MTB's to take part. A shame really, as it excludes a number of entrants that intended to take part this year. "Re: Entry information by...

    Fox Antifreeze - Feb 2017

    'Toby' likens e-MTB's to cars and motorbikes! That's a ridiculously, uneducated statement. Clearly another one that would be shouting 'Cheater', and does not see the bigger picture. Nor, does he embrace the future. I'm sure that plenty of older adults and disabled riders, that make good use of...

    Fox Antifreeze - Feb 2017

    Bike Any good quality MTB will be fine for this event, be it rigid, hardtail or full suspension, 26″, 27.5″ or 29″, plus bike, fat bike or plain old regular flavour. It doesn’t matter so long as its in a good functional condition, fits you and you are comfortable riding it. I reckon that would...

    Anyone heard from Trex?

    That's a shame. I always found him helpful, knowledgeable and humorous. :oops:

    How fat is a fat bike tyre then? Mine are 2.3" 'Magic Mary' tyres.

    Tragic. I'm genuinely sorry for your loss. At least he lived a full life and you have plenty of great memories of him. What a character. Rest peacefully 'Harley'. :(

    No-one's perfect. The more people I meet, the more I love my dog. :)

    Washing Carrera Crossfire-E

    They're one entity. One love. We are not amused etc. Definition of collective. 1 : denoting a number of persons or things considered as one group or whole. Pedantry.. :p

    Washing Carrera Crossfire-E

    No, I've been happily married for 35 years. :) My bikes live alone in the garage. Occasionally I drag them into the hallway for some maintenance. Anyway, I bought her a dyson for her birthday.. :D

    Washing Carrera Crossfire-E

    I consider mud as a layer of protection against more mud and wetness. There's no point having a 'muddyfox' and barking myself. :D

    My 2nd best decision

    There are some great mudguards for off road use. They don't look pretty. But, they do a hell of a good job. ;)

    Washing Carrera Crossfire-E

    Very carefully I'd say. :) Personally, I wouldn't use a hose myself. Water would be pressured into places that it wasn't welcome. Perhaps a damp sponge and a bucket of soapy water would be better placed. Followed by a nice lube up. :)

    New to this thinking of commuting

    Yes, this stealthy approach to commuting would save you quite a bit. You could even keep a second, new, nice shiny bike at home, as a fair weather back up, if you liked, and still be in budget. I have 2 myself. You've had some great info on this thread. Decisions, decisions, eh.. :) Commuting...
