Why is the unladen weight incorrect?

G02S Resin pads. You also don't have to stick with Shimano pads if you don't want to. Clarks are often to be found cheaper and are just as good.

SW, I thought that your bike had the Performance Line drive unit? When I had mine, I too found that it made no difference, but like you, I also never had any software updates. As far as I am aware, the CX drive unit is flashed not only for wheel/tyre size, it also takes into account final...

Unbelievable. I happened upon the following last night whilst still completing my research on the forest. How about this for a list of reasons not allow cycles on the forest. I feel another article coming on in response. There is so much wrong with the following, but I especially love that...

With the mileage that you do, it is us that should be looking to you for advice. :) Sadly I wouldn't know what to suggest, but what I would say is that several years ago KTM sent me an ebike to review, and it can fitted with Marathon Plus (non mountain bike) tyres. I have to say that I couldn't...

Very nice to. :) My trips are always to the Jungfrau region, and even after over thirty years of visiting, I still haven't tired of it or seen it all. :)

I have to say that I am no fan of the Cuckoo trail either. Too much dog mess and too many people for me as well. Most of my riding time on the forest is done at night time, so I also manage to avoid people then as well. :) What does make me smile though, is that there is a guy on a disabled...

Why do you need to datatag it for Switzerland? Only asking as I try to go there once a year, and have never seen or noticed any bike with datatag, but then I have never looked for it.

Superb that you love the area Gaz, I'll add the first Bridleway a little a later, which is the Vanguard Way that runs to Kings Standing. Ref the cycling from Eastbourne. If I am cycling from Crowborough to Eastbourne, I go to either Heathfield or Horam and use the Cuckoo trail. Alternatively...

Sadly the photos were from April 2017. The conditions weren't so bright today for photos, although I did add some additional ones to the article for accuracy.

I'm now on the second of the series of six, and opted to put my own bit of spin upon it by adding some local history into the article, and no b#lls##t. Bridleway Two in this series detailing the bridleways of Ashdown Forest. Woodmans Bridleway as it tends to be called now, used to be a pack...

Annoying find of the day. I misjudged a landing last Sunday at Bedgebury, and ended up clouting the side of the wheel on small stump. I hadn't realised until today, that it has caused some damage to the front wheel. Annoying, but easily repairable.

Using the front brake as a test of bearing play as described in the clip, isn't actually a very efficient or correct way of checking for free play, as it doesn't take into account the flex within a brake system. The most effective way is to place the front wheel against a wall and then push...

I finally managed to get out and actually have some fun riding with others today. A bit of fun at Bedgebury with the Weareswick mountain bike racing team, Ktm Col, and a few others. Col making this short sharp climb look easy on my KTM. I tried twice and failed, but shall head back over...

I had long forgotten about writing the above, and can't believe that I am still doing the class! That wasn't my reason for bumping the thread though, my reason is that I have a question that isn't worth starting a separate thread for. Is there anyone on here who is into creative writing...

I have one of these that I wear for my night rides. Not as uncomfortable to wear as you might think, very cheap, and the angle doesn't seem to create too much of an issue. I suspected that it might just be a load of rubbish, but it has actually proved to be the opposite. edit.. Now you have...

I'll give that a shot, as I thought that you meant the drip on cycle chain wax. I must have some old motorcycle chain wax stashed away somewhere. :)

I don't have the details of the make of light yet, but one of my wife's friends went walking a few nights ago with what was claimed to have been an expensive helmet/head torch, took it off and put it onto a bench at the end of the walk, and it exploded, burning the bench in process. I do have a...

Yep, even wax. Thanks though. :) Sadly, the soil conditions here have a powder thin sand content, that acts as grinding paste, when both wet and dry. It is also very acidic, and corrosion can set in within the space of just hours, which can be seen in the bottom photo. It is one of the...

For the most part I carry the following kit, but for the last few months when riding local, I haven't been carrying anything other than water. It takes me less than a minute of leaving home to be off road, and I can roughly complete a 15 mile ride, within the space of the first forest that is...
