Re: Bargain Alert Thread
? Mine has been great - worked as expected since I got it a couple of years back. Definitely nicer than the Touring one it replaced I suspect it could be a reference to this: https://www.itv.com/news/2021-06-21/amazon-destroying-millions-of-items-of-unsold-stock-in-one-of-its-uk-warehouses-every-ye...

Re: Jennride 2021 gpx
Haven’t ridden a JennRide before and I’ve got a prior commitment on Friday night, what time is the roll out or do people roll throughout the morning?

Re: #jennride 2021 26th June
What's all this madness? People aren't even out there yet and they're chopping bits of the route out! :lol: While I’m intending to ride the full distance(ish), I’m going to do some minor alterations like skipping the red route climbing in Grizedale after the visitor centre which from regularly ridi...

Re: What are you reading now?
Does anyone else have those things that you vividly remember from a book? I’ve got a few, but oddly the one that’s comes up most often is [paraphrased] ‘put your outside foot forwards on berms’ from OCCD. It must pop into my head once or twice a week when on the MTB and it genuinely revolutionised m...

Re: Flat pedal shoe recommendations
I have a pair of 5Ten Freerider EPS which have primaloft and seem to be pretty waterproof other than over the ankle obviously. I've found that when water does get it, it warms up pretty quick and stays warms like in a wetsuit. The grip is the stealth sole which is great on the pedals and I haven't r...

Re: Sonder Alpha wheels
I’ve got a set on my drop bar mtb and I’ve smashed it down some Lakeland rocky bw’s and they’ve held up find. Checked the hubs the other day and the bearings seem to be holding up well.

I’ve flittered between Salomon, Adidas and Inov8 for the last few years and have a wide forefoot and have settled on Inov8s suiting me best. I have a pair of Mudclaws for the really muddy stuff and then a pair of Terraultras for rock and forest trail and I used them for scrambles through the summer ...

Re: All rounder bike for a friend
Thanks Ton, I hadn’t spied the 141 hub. Funny really as he cancelled his order of an MK1 frontier frame as that was the same spacing, really should have checked. Will do some more digging on decent XC bikes

All rounder bike for a friend
A friend is looking to get a hardtail for red routes, gravel riding and the occasional bikepacking trip. I think he's leaning towards an XC bike as there will be likely be more gravel riding and road riding to trails than there will be big gravity days. Budget is up to £1300 but ideally around the £...

Re: Ramin 3+ to Fronter (V1) parts swap
It was a V1 frame and fork he was getting which is on at £199 at the mo. I think that's what he'll probably end up doing. Not sure a used Ramin 3+ would be worth that much would it?

Ramin 3+ to Fronter (V1) parts swap
Hi all, I'm going to move the components over from a Ramin 3+ to a Frontier Rigid (v1) for a friend. (Pinnacle is a M, he's an XL, loves Rigid, just bike is too small). Just hoping I can get some advice from the hive mind on anything I'm missing. I notice the Frontier has 141 QR rear spacing. What's...

Re: Waterproof glove to try
What neoprene cycling glove do people recommend? I used a set of the Aldi ones for ages but I wore through the palm after a winter of heavy use. Since then I got a pair of Enduras and they’ve lasted really well. The only problem I’ve ever found with them is if you have to take them off (like to go ...
