That’s the way to do it. Van Der Poel clearly did his ‘explosive break’ thing because of the stamina he had built in off road. …and I am trying to work out where you are riding … Cotswolds somewhere? North Wilts? And Garmins. Ant has an efffing useless old model which gets us to a...

Nice Had one of these Marin badged. Zzziiiiiiiiiiing. That’s the sound of ti going fast across the landscape…. Had this: That went and the ti habit is now met by this:

Yikes only a rear brake. Bold. We marvel at the BMX boys with NO brakes at the pump track. It seems they slow down through telekinesis…..wow the power of the mind

Interestingly we were stopped-and-talking-nonsense during a long ride on the Downs and heard a weird zzzzzz-ing noise and three guys shot past on full blown MX bikes - proper armour etc - and electric. If they had been on two-strokes or four-bangers it would had shattered the peace and been a...

Ah good that’s me brought up to date re car battery recycling. I’ll read to be up to date on detail. Thanks. I am very supportive where e-bikes replace a car or replace a car journey. I am very supportive where it makes a person mobile when they have impairment or difficulty (I don’t like...

What is going on? I can only get 29 rubber at near to full retail price and yet this beauty is left unloved at 70.00 The world’s gone mad I tell you!!!!

Rush to the electric car everyone! It’s the Future. It will save the planet! Hurrah!!! Wait…. The designers forgot to tell us that the batteries lose performance over time? I feel my range anxiety rising. The designers forgot to build recycle-ability into the batteries? I feel my general...

Concrete, wasteland, steel, copper, encapsulated energy. Awful. What are we doing?

Aaaargh….. NO it CAN’T be true………. Electric bikes have an even lower carbon footprint than conventional bikes because fewer calories are burned per kilometre, despite the emissions from battery manufacturing and electricity use But maybe it is…..it does indeed depend on a true comparison of...

Good full coverage mudguards. And a spray flap. Excellent.

Nice singletrack. And great build - lovely frame - friend Anthony found one …. In a hedge in Sussex. And rode it for 15 years …

I think the G-Ones are vastly superior to the WTBs - I've done 2000 on them. Very impressed.

Bike Radar liked the Raddlers https://www.bikeradar.com/reviews/components/tyres/gravel-bike-tyres/wtb-raddler-tcs-light-gravel-tyre-review I didn't like the Riddlers either - same reasons I did 1000 on all of these, picked up three punctures on them, all self-sealed after stopping and...

indeed not impressed centre knobs wear out rather fast rubber goes papery rather fast transition from centre knobs to side knobs is weird on tarmac, I just didn't feel able to lean the bike hard. With the G-One All Rounds, with their continuous 'surround' of dimples, the transition from...

Well I did a big build of the Grom’s new alloy Transition Scout. I bought the frame in Somerset, and it needed new bearings throughout, which was fine. It’s a job I enjoy. Bish bosh, bearings out and in at shocks, main pivot, rocker arm and lower swing arm. End of stay bearings smoothish so I...

In May I did a big tyre swap on the commuting bikes to take the frankly rubbish WTB 45s Raddlers off the orange RoadRat and put on Schwalbe G-0ne 40s. Better chainstay clearance and great cornering. Some Schwalbe tyres had a reputation for being terrible in the wet during the early 2000s and, in...

Well….the South Downs is just a mountain-biking paradise really…hundreds of km of achingly beautiful chalk tracks, places to play in the singletrack in Friston Forest and Stanmer Woods…. …down a track at full bore… following Anthony on a long little-used bridleway, grass so long that I can’t...

Ah ha! I thought I had spotted correctly. So unicorn bits after all…..
