    Easiest way find percentage of a hill?

    This one that I have just come across looks interesting. http://bikehike.co.uk/index.php

    Mountain Bike Rides Around South Hampshire

    I wonder if it was a rabbit hole that caught the lad in clip out. He didn't appear to touch the brakes, hit something that then gave him a severe tank slapper, and it was game over. Perhaps we all need clip on steering dampers. :) I used to have a 1978 Husky. Bloody scary thing is was to. It...

    Three pages worth of palaver. :D If you had lived around here, I'd have offered to fit some for you.

    Heads Up to Stolen Bike

    Fantasic news Ian. :) Enjoy a pint when you get it back. Just out of interest, does the guy have a black Mercedes Vito?

    Mountain Bike Rides Around South Hampshire

    Nice one Wander, I'll take a proper look later. :) Although I still need to sort a bike out, I'm hoping to book up at least three more organised mtb events before the end of the year, and this is one of them. The downside for me, is that it will be a round trip of 300 miles. :( If you...

    Haibike on Ebay 30 mph

    The link states "Obviously by going over the 15mph cut off these dongles are FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY!" It should state for off road use only, on privately owned ground/land. The two statements are very different. One is misleading and legally incorrect, and one isn't.

    Hybrid Mudguards for KTM Macina Cross 9 ?

    Or potentally kill you. If you get really stuck, make up something along the lines of a mucky nutz mudguard, http://www.muckynutz.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=114 and use that as you attachment point.

    You'll love this 30 mph bike

    Must resist. Still love the fact that people are out there doing stuff like this though. :)

    New Danny Macaskill video

    I watched this the day that it came out, and whilst it impressed me, I somehow feel that Skye is now going to ruined for some time to come with others trying to ride it or climb it. :(

    E-bikes and rain

    I find that my only issue is punctures. The wetter that it gets, the more punctures that you get. I'm currently thinking of possibly going tubeless with the KTM when I get it.

    E-bikes and rain

    It is my old BH Neo Xtrem. The control console was the only weak point, but I put a bead of silicon around the join, leaving a slight gap on the lower side. It's usually me that has the issue with the wet. Water gets in everywhere!!! That lovely feeling as it runs down the inside of the...

    E-bikes and rain

    As they say.... Rule number 9. Same ride. What I didn't know with the first photo, was that a trench had opened/collapsed across the rode. The front wheel went down to almost the brake disc. Shortly after this shot another cyclist came through and I advised him of a pot hole and to try the...

    ArtStu is probably the person to steer you in the right direction with this one.

    First Ebike Purchase review: ex demo KTM

    Here is my experience of both using and purchasing demo/ex demo/display/photo KTM shoot bikes. I was advised from the outset that the bikes did not come with pedals. I personally didn't see this as an issue as I ride clipless anyway, and prefer to use my own XTR pedals. The 1964 came with...

    KTM Corner - Panasonic motor drag

    I've been giving this some thought, and was first thinking binding brakes, then perhaps that the impression of drag might come from the extra weight over a conventional pedal only bike, then it hit me. Regen. Are you certain that you don't have the bike/control console set on regen, a point...

    KTM Corner

    Whitstable is a place that I have been meaning to visit. A friend keeps saying how good that the seafood restaurants are there, and each time that hear the name of the place, I now get hungry! :)

    KTM Corner

    When I take part in the Wiggle rides, there is an automatic third party insurance, but the Evans rides do not offer third party insurance. I have also recently started taking part in local cycle clubs rides, and although currently free to me, when or if I join up, there is automatic third party...

    Sadly that has to be the worst website that I have come across. :(

    KTM Corner

    I need a new pair of MTB shoes. I seem to get a year out of them before they need binning. I'm sure the white finish will be fine. :) More can be seen of the white Macina Lycan Plus here..
