    Suntour NCX SP-12

    I decided to try and make my commute a little lesh harsh. The Wisper 806 has no suspension and even along the canal my ass takes a beating. I fitted the SP-12 in no time yesterday and what a difference the commute was this morning. A turn on the pre-tension and a slight up angle on the seat...

    Insurance, trackers and recovery

    I'm not understanding the insurance costs that represent recovery and theft coverage. Seems there's no point in paying recovery as there's no benefit in the cost of your insurance premium. I got a quote for £149 to fit a tracker, then an insurance price of £13/month for the associated insurance...
