    Today I found a downside to EMTB's

    Has to be worth a go. I'd be tempted to put them on the inside of the bib tights rather than on the outside, as you might then have a better chance of the water running down the outside. I think that I'll get a pair and give it a go. If they fail on the bike, they would still come in handy for...

    Today I found a downside to EMTB's

    Izzy, sadly just cold water from a hose pipe, although I am in the process of fitting a hot water heater to the outside loo, so perhaps I should extend it to having another outside tap with hot water. There wouldn't be much water pressure, but at least the water would be warm. :) Gubbins, Izzy...

    Today I found a downside to EMTB's

    He isn't wrong. :) I can certainly vouch for the Rose bib tights, and they really have had to endure a lot of punishment. Continually being wet and muddy with pretty much every winter ride, being washed several times a week, and yet they are still as comfy as they were on day one, have lost no...

    Today I found a downside to EMTB's

    Just popping through on other business.. Gubbins, that just looks like a normal winter ride to me. :) I got to say that I'm with Gubbins son on this one, and spend pretty much the whole of winter wearing exactly the same kit, right down to the red and black top. On colder days, I wouldn't...

    Ignore function for threads

    After receiving an email drawing my attention to this, I guess that I had better reply to the elements that I can decipher. Not a promising start for you SW. My first motor failed at 650 miles and was repaired under warranty, the repaired motor failed at a similar mileage. Neither the shop...

    Last +1 :D "Wimping out" for winter! Not a chance, the eMTB riding season is only just beginning. :) I shall still be trying to get out riding three to four evenings/nights a week in all weather conditions, commuting off road to work twice a week, and getting in at least one daylight ride...

    Well that is the final event out of the way for this year, and also my final post for a while. Brilliant to meet up with a couple of the KTM lads to complete the 32 mile ride with, although sadly I took a heavy fall at about 30mph whilst riding point. I lost the front of the bike on a blind...

    You have made me feel decidedly cold with those photos.

    I don't have a problem with the Brexit thread. :)

    Afraid so. I'll probably just post up the photos etc from tomorrows organised ride, then call it a day for a while.

    I'd rather not see them there to start with.

    another newby to the forum

    Just a long shot, but you wouldn't happen to be the same Trouty that raced with BEMSEE in the Yamaha Past Masters?

    Ignore function for threads

    I realise that we already have an ignore function to use in respect of blocking forum members, and any threads that might happen to start, but is there a way of blocking particular threads so that they don't show?

    Here you go. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BN2CRYQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They are very good and superbly stable, but don't expect them be dead square and accurate in build. Neither of mine are, but for that price, you can't go wrong. They also work well for when...

    Too true Mark. :D Thanks BB. :) I should have known better, and was certainly aching this morning. Oh to be 30 years younger again. I do wish that I'd washed the bike last night though. I was being lazy when I got in last night. Two mistakes in the same evening!

    Another brilliant night to be out on the bike. It was a damn sight colder than last nights ride, and there was quite a heavy frost. Sadly not heavy enough to give a crust on the mud, but never mind, all good fun. I did have one bad go though. I have only ridden the section below in...

    Well that is next Saturday morning sorted. I'd forgotten about the annual get together with a couple of the KTM lads. 30 miles and 3,200ft of p**s taking fun. :) The ride itself is pretty crap though, and if it wasn't for catching up with old pals, then I wouldn't bother. There are some...

    The new best headlight

    Thankfully with SW on ignore I can't see any of that crap, but in any event.... I'd rather be out actually riding a bike off road at night using a reliable set up, than staying indoors trying to achieve something that can be bettered for less than a tenner. See D8veh thread starter...
