I have a redundant and little used Cane Creek Thudbuster LT (316mm seat post) up for grabs at £50.00 plus P&P. It comes with spare grey rubber blocks, blue fitted, and the mud cover/glove. Like JamesW, mine was also purchased from the superb Bike-dicount.de Seat Post...

Thanks for sharing Kinninvie. I'm another thought it strange having the steps on the ride. Keep the write ups coming. :) In the last month, I have ruined one camera because of use in rain, a second has been covered with more mud than I would comfortably have liked, and I have also smashed the...

Good choice of bike there Paul. Where are you based? :) The KTM's certainly seem to be proving very popular choice. This section of the forum could prove helpful to you. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/forums/uk-off-road-s-pedelecs-overseas.43/

I'm so glad that you partner enjoyed getting out as well. I'd love mine to tag along on some light rides with me. Sadly her sense of balance on a bike is not good. I've tried to convince her that a KTM MACINA Compact 8 would be ideal for her, but so far she is not biting on it. It's a great...

This is possibly the last organised 'fun' ride for this year, although subject to getting hold of a suitable bike, and increasing my own fitness level, I'm currently contemplating taking part in a competitive winter three round cyclocross series. I had arranged to be back out riding again with...

You mean to say that the Wombles have so far resisted the urge ;) :D

Martin, the VFR was nothing special. It might have been in it's day, but it just didn't float my boat. If I could have afforded to have kept it, I might have squirrelled it away as an investment, which is exactly what the new owner did with it, but that would be all. My heart will always belong...

Yep the dual sprocket mod. I hadn't seen that one before. A clever idea, but not one that I think suited to an off road situation. Perhaps on a trekking style bike. :) Just for ref, neither the bike above or mine, have suffered from the chain hitting the swingarm. :) The heli tape and dirt...

Hi Martin, I thought WTF when I first saw the photo, but look again from a different angle. ;) Not my bike BTW, just another KTM owner exploring possibilities.

Martin, on that very subject of the small front sprocket. What do you think has happened here?

Sorry Dave, I wasn't concentrating on what was clearly written out in front of me.:oops: BC, I doubt that mine would be the same as your measurements, as I have changed the tyres to 2.3" WTB Vigilante. Mine come out at 2280mm. Measured with tyres correctly inflated, and the measurement taken...

Have either of you thought to check the wheel circumference/diameter setting?

Two more for you. The RC30 was the biggest disappointment in bike riding terms that I have ever come across. With all the hype, all the history behind them, I was expecting great things. I got off from riding it, and just thought "is that it" It was also the hardest bike that I have ever had to...

Look what's arrived. :) Courtesy of the Amazon link provided by SRS, and bought from BestToyStore for £19.98 delivered. Plus points... Very quick and easy to use, and the bike remains stable when in use. Minus points... The welds on mine are not straight and the vertical tube isn't, so...

I know Whitehill Road very well, and used to live just off of it. :) I'm now on the other side of the town and Ashdown Forest is just two minutes down the road from me. Of course like every other mtb owner in the area, I wouldn't dream of ever straying from the bridleways on there. This is one...

Mine on the KTM is fine. :)

Sadly I was only ever a mid field finisher. Too old and also had a sense of self preservation, although that still didn't prevent me from having two sets of leathers cut off from me after race incidents :( On the ride front, I did end up going out today as my back felt better. I'm sitting here...

The back has been crap this week, and I shied away from riding with SRS today, but things felt better late morning, so I decided to pop out for a little ride. 30 miles later!!!! I hadn't intended to ride that far, but I 'accidently' ;) managed to end up on a local MOD training ground, and had to...

A scanned photos of me on my old Rookie 400 Supersport 400 Honda RVF400 It was given the nickname the B52 bomber by my mates. I'm No 79 in this one, and have just been rammed! All good fun. :) I'm third back on the LH side. I think that Ian85 from the forum might well be the rider behind...

A mix of the rest. A slightly later one. Another rare bike. The 3AK that got smashed to pieces. The bike was an original factory coloured TZ250, but I bought it with no plastics, so spent many hours researching library photos, and as no original design was available, I took certain...
