    Nürburgring - Construction techniques .. 98 years ago ..

    The stone you are talking about is basalt. It’s like a granite / cobble stones in the raw form. It’s black and volcanic which is why it’s probably described as coal stone. Lost in translation. Spent a lot of time there, mainly on track 😂 but did visit the Nurburg castle and remember the black...

    DMR VAULT LACON or Nukeproof Sam Hill Enduro Race?

    Not oil slick or Sam Hills 😂 but these get great reviews. I needed new ones and really pleased with them. Good value at that price imo https://www.wiggle.com/p/nukeproof-horizon-pro-downhill-flat-pedals?color=black&sizeStandard=One+Size

    All New 2023 Orbea Wild

    I love them, think they are an awesome looking bike and would be my first choice if looking to replace my Levo. Had a play around on the personalisation a few times and it’s similar to what I picked! 👍🏻 So good to see it in the flesh

    Great video! First time I done it was the final run on a wet day 1st time at BPW. It finished me off that’s for sure 😂

    Winter boots

    Another vote for the trailcross goretex. I use these in winter with sealskins and they work well Let in water eventually if out all day but I don’t think anything is 💯 waterproof Trousers if there’s lots of rain / puddles helps as stops it going into the shoes Do want to try the terrex tho...

    Levo Gen 3 Stripping the Alloy Frame to Raw.

    Awesome job mate. Looks mega. I liked the black decals but they look cool too. Great way to refresh a bike 👌🏻👍🏻

    new lightweight ebike from transition - the relay

    Which means the Orbea surely is the best of both worlds to me then and doesn't come at a crazy £££ premium either....

    new lightweight ebike from transition - the relay

    To be honest, that's exactly where my thoughts were on that. Why would you give up the full fat motor and battery for what 1-2kg? Is there a huge saving on the transition or other Lightweights over similar spec Orbea?
