Man math. i like it :D

Id have saved a few quid and just asked him to lock out the old bike rather than spend out on another new one.

The missus is looking at the Stoic 3 as well as the Orange Clockwork 29 Comp. Her Scott Scale 50 is a bit old, geo isn’t very favourable and with the 26” wheels looks like a child’s bike now so she’s gone all funny about wanting to ride it. Plus one of the kids needs a bigger bike and hers would...

Mine for years was this sort of, thing, a couple of Lack tables bolted/butchered together and some wheels on the bottom. Worked well, got battered but it was functional furniture for keeping a coffee on top of until that ended well..

It still has to appeal to me one way or another. I’ve no interest in something that’s going to do little if anything for me just as I have no interest in bolting something quite so large to the bike. The front mud guard has landed and has been installed, it’s a bit small and will likely not...

They look like they perform well but my god they aren’t winning any beauty awards are they :D RRP have come up a few times and I think I could end up with the smallest version of both the front and the rear perhaps. It all depends on how this Syncros one both performs and looks when it arrives...

That thing really isn’t a looker is it.. seems practical and something I know my dad would have been all over back in the 90s but I’m not sure I can bring myself to adding something as “significant” to my bike.

Just ordered one of these - https://rockguardz.com/product/rockguardz/status-2020-21/ to give my frame some protection at the bottom end from when I no doubt do something dumb. I've also ordered a bolt on mudguard for the front forks by Syncros. Just need to find a viable rear mudguard now and...

I was going to say to have a look at the Focus Jam2 6.9. They are about £4.4k at the moment, sometimes less, sometimes more. Solid bike and a really solid spec. https://www.focus-bikes.com/int/jam2-6-9 I know youve already ordered but food for thought for those also looking. I was very...

https://www.trailforks.com/region/united-kingdom/ Have a mooch in and around your area? I’ve found absolutely loads within an hour or so of me. Once found, jump on Google, see if any bike forums talk about them, check out YouTube for some vids of people using the park and make a list of those...

That’s a hell of a lot going on in a home lab. The MS-01s do look pretty cool, be sure to get some images and info up when you get them running. How to you monitor what each system is doing, resources used etc? You use something like loggly?

Sorted the sag at the front, ended up adding 15psi over the course of about 600yards or so and all is now perfect. It’s still soft at the front when on softest setting but when fully tightened is exactly where I would like it to be for the casual churn to where ever it is I am going to have...

19.08 yesterday. Not too bad for a windy rainy day actually. Perhaps things are starting to look up? Having said that, it overcast and miserable in the north east once again..

Order cancelled firs thing this morning. Went and purchased the Status 160 earlier straight after from Evans as they were the only store withing 100 miles who had the size, dropped in after it was built and took it away. The 820mm wide bars are an accident waiting to happen, they need dropping...

This time last year April had generated 122.6kwh. This year for the same period it’s been 28.63kwh. That’s a dire start indeed…

Picket up a specialized Tactic 4 at £45, bargain really and apparently one of the safest if not the safest MTB helmets on the market coming in 3rd over all out of 200+ and 1st for an MTB specific part. I got it in "oak green" because blacks boring, white will get too dirty and they didn't have...

Thanks for the links. I will have a mooch. With the grips ill have to give the ones on the bike a go however I can see that they are likely to need a swap out as the grid arrangement on them I didnt think was all too helpful on the palm for the few moments I held on to one on a hard tail that...

The 32 a sore point on the bike then? Ive noticed a fair few people stating the Boardman 8.x MTR range is a little lacking in frame protection too, no idea what they mean about that but would a bash guard be a worthwile drop on too? I cant recall breaking cranks or smashing the frame underside...

I’ve just gone and purchased the cheap and cheerful Boardman MTR 8.8 as it’s on Easter sale. Other than moving to tubeless and swapping pedals to some more durable parts with replaceable studs what else would you do? Yes I appreciate it’s an entry bike however a few points to bear in mind...

Reddit it is then.. shame as so many of you have cool stuff going on.
