I do have a...

    Many will already know that I’m not adverse to a bit of night riding, be that using my eMTB or my analogue MTB and from looking at my stats from last year, I spent just over 200hrs riding after daylight hours.

    The following is a review of a Giant Full-E Plus 1 SX Pro 2018 that I had the chance to test a year ago, and whilst I did publish the review at the time, the photo hosting was sadly lost. Upon removing the bike from it’s box, I was reminded straight away of the ‘Marmite’ colour scheme that...

    Bike related hacks and bodges

    When cleaning and detailing the bike, I frequently like to turn it upside down in order to get to the hard to reach places.
