    mudguards

    Crud XL up front and a (slightly) cut down Mudhugger at the rear. You can see the clear divides between where they protect and where they don't.

    What 'vehicle' to buy?

    I do ;) The van is a camper and bike transporter for weekend/hol use. You should try one, you might be surprised.

    What 'vehicle' to buy?

    I've got my 2nd Transporter, a T6 DSG, fits any bike in, drives like a car, won't fall to bits in a couple of years like a Transit or Sprinter, and keeps its value amazingly well at trade in time

    Noob question but why isn’t it ok to turn the pedals forward when lubing the chain?

    How was your ride, in one picture and one line?

    I like the look of that, and it's not too far from me, is it all off road?

    Crud XL Fender Review

    I've got a Crud XL along with a Mudhugger for the rear and finally have a day off work tomorrow so will be fitting them, along with a Brand X dropper and a new front inner tube then and hopefully getting out on it. Just my luck that all the mud has probably gone now as we haven't had rain for...

    The What Annoyed Me Today Thread - A Place To Rant

    Absolutely mental. As you say, what is wrong with people? Why would someone go to so much trouble purely to stop other people’s enjoyment?

    Can I drill a wheel?

    Thanks, yes as I mentioned above I have ordered some new tubes with Presta valves and ditched the other ones. I also have some tubeless Schrader valves but I'll order some Presta ones when I come to convert to tubeless. At the moment I'm just so short of time and was hoping to spend a couple of...

    Can I drill a wheel?

    I’ve thought it over and you’re right, I’m not going to do it and have ordered the same tubes with presto valves on instead. Just disappointed I hadn’t realised this before when I ordered the tubes as I was looking forward to having a ride today and it could be a couple of weeks before I get...

    Missing a part off my Yamaha battery?

    Really? I couldn’t see it in the photo as it was so dark, can only see the socket. I have no other end cap and nothing in the box. Edit: Ah I see the confusion now, there are two types of battery and ours is the downtube type which has the cap built in to the lid, so nothing missing. See...

    Can I drill a wheel?

    Another dumb newbie question I'm afraid. I'm not getting much chance to be at home to ride my new bike and the last time I rode it just over a week ago I got a flat. Went to pump it up and came across a presta valve for the first time and no pump I had fitted. Ordered a little adapter off ebay...
