Hi all - managed to smack up my chain ring rather well on my Cube Acid at the weekend. Pre-pandemic I'd set it up perfectly for commuting and had replaced the 38T with a 46T which matched my leg power and just took me outside of the 15mph band, however over the last year I've been thrashing it...

Love the finish, bike looks ok but I'd be hard-pressed to justify £4k on a bike let alone some of the bikes he wants to emulate.... Interesting watch though and the follow-up video shows it being spanked a bit with no frame cracking..

Gahh!!!!!! I just ordered my daughter a new helmet as she took a spill on her bike while out mountain biking in the forest. Cheapest was Holland Bike Shop which worked out to be about £142 plus shipping... back of my mind was "thats under £150 so it will be fine.." Just been landed with a...

Finally finished off fitting my new XT drivetrain to the Cube last week so took it out for a spin today to bed everything in. All felt groovy so took an extended route home; got to the “stick to the roads or go proper xc” and I chose the XC route.. It was heroic, Epping Forest has lots of small...

Wotcha - will be back on the bike on Monday as a means to shift the mountain of cheese that has been consumed. I'm struggling to find a pair of waterproof 3/4 trousers or similar that fit a rather generous 42" waist. Most of the main brands seem to only go to 38-40 and I know that I'm nowhere...

Just in case anyone has missed this - https://www.prudentialridelondon.co.uk/events/freecycle/ Its a great event with thousands of bikes and a great community feel

Number #273 in the series.. a set of Conti Speed King tyres for the Cube.. Must say, fitting slicks to a 29" bike looks odd but purposeful ;-) Will see how it affects the commute. For those that are interested, the cheapest I found was with Bikester (nope, me neither!)...

Just a quick sanity check before I click the order button! I've a Cube Acid 400 that I use on trails and on my commute. Commute is relatively flat, maybe 100m elevation change over a 6km route. I'm finding that with the default 38t and 11-34 that I'm constantly on the bottom 3 sprockets and I'm...

All - now that I am commuting mainly on the road its probably time to move from the stock Schwalbe to something a little more road-friendly.. Any reccomendations for a low rolling resistance but yet still puncture resistant 29" tyre? Looks like the Conti Speed/Race kings seem to be well...

So, having been away for a while I'm back with a new bike. Previous was a Cytronex conversion that I used and abused for about 4 years, gradually getting fitter to the point that the assist was not needed. fast forwards a couple of years and the abuse to the hub motor meant that graunching...

Hi All - I've had a Cytronex for quite a while now but its a bit battered. after 5/6 years the hub has a horrible graunching noise and the battery is on its last legs. So, time for a refresh.. Whats the current thinking on Hub/Crank? typical use would be road and trails, nothing to hairy but...

Hi all I thought that I would post here as I have been converted ;-) Rapidly approaching 40 and nowhere near my optimum weight I've been looking for a way to get fit and lose weight but with 2 kids (11 weeks and 20 months) and a long commute into London fitting exercise in is a problem...
