    A2B Hybrid/24

    Some friends of mine have just bought two of these. On the way back from the pub they have a very steep hill to climb, are they going to be disappointed? Can you fit a throttle and also can you press magic buttons for their off road use or are they stuck with 15.5 mph.

    Complete Wheel set for 29er

    I would like another set of wheels to have a different tyre selection, it seems a lot easier to change wheels than tyres. Is it as simple as buy the bits and put them together ?

    2.4 " off road tyres

    Need some "bike park Tyres" good grip for trails, climbing, risking my life down hill and plugging through mud etc etc. Looking around are 2.4" any good as the extra volume with a hardtail is very attractive. Also do they fit well in a Haibike 29

    My Hard Nine with Rapid Robs on, is great off road. My Hard Nine with Big Bens on, is great on the road. I thought Winter was just going to be a straight road only exercise, but stupidly I am still going off road and it is tricky on Big Bens. I am looking for road manners ( quiet, smooth...

    Big Bens tyres

    My dark night riding will be on roads and stone tracks, so I decided to change my Rapid Robs for a road tyre, Big Bens. My bike is a Haibike sDuro 29" hard tail. Rapid Robs have taken me everywhere off road and will go back on with the lighter nights, I think they are a good off road tyre...

    How to slime a Presta valve tyre?

    Well had my first puncture. Fixed it ok. Have been trying to get slime in the tubes, is there a special way. The pipe on my bottle seems too be too big so as much comes out the sides as goes in the tube. Yes the tubes are deflated! Green snot everywhere.

    Clean and Jerk !

    When I was looking to buy my Mountain bike no one mentioned was that I would need to be able to clean and jerk the 22 kg bike over my head to clear gates. Here are two I encountered last night, the wooden one is a bit easy compared to the steel one. Nice wooden gate with handy kissing gate...
