Yesterday in Swaledale. Perfect ride conditions for what I consider to be one of the longest, best, natural descents in England, Melbecks to Gunnerside.

Great area, I'm jealous as I won't be able to make it 😢 but I'm sure you'll have a good day. Have you ordered some more torrential rain and high winds in advance?!

Nope, those gortex 5tens are brilliant water buckets!

Hi Neil, Looking forward to meeting up with you and everyone else tomorrow. Appreciate your time and efforts putting this ride together. The weather forecast looks reasonable for us too. I've just WhatsApp you as an easier form of contact. Cheers Dave

Heck! Wednesday I can't but I can on the Thursday! Never mind.

I'd enquire with your LBS first just to confirm it's true, but that's how it reads in the Bosch email?

I was hoping that they would say 'yes there's an adapter version which replaces the kiox control..) Alas its not to be..🥺

🤔 I thought I'd send Bosch UK an email to enquire whether this new Thingy might be compatible with the Kiox Controller, perhaps a version with an adapter mount to fit directly onto the Kiox control cradle? Here's their reply.. Guess which Kiox I have..😭 Dear David...

If you have room for a little un then I'm in?! 👍

🤔 if only they could supply a 'top tube thingy' that could directly swap with the current kiox controller..?

Thatched cottage at Pockley North Yorkshire. My old plow! Farmer carrying out delicate trail repairs, this is the actual access to the farm?!

Cheers for that information. I do indeed remove the battery after each ride? I'm finding with mine that when powered up there is absolutely no interaction between the remote and the kiox? If I was lucky I could gently manipulate the small cable (at one particular place between the bar and stem...

Hi Mitch, Good to see Trek gathering customer feedback. I ride the Rail 9 and its a game changer for me and I really do love this bike. My only quibble is with the remote control for the Kiox. I'd described it a weak point in the drive set up as it's location, size and micro cable are prone...

Just about to descend into Chop Gate from the Cock Howe boundary stones (in picture) on a sneaky, steep techy piece of natural singletrack. 2 fences to lift over. Best ridden on a quiet day to avoid ascending walkers! It was dusty, dry and fun!

The Castle Bolton loop section is going to be your best bet as it's 'mostly' access roads for the estate vehicles. The descent down to Castle Bolton is grassy but quite corrugated and will bounce your eyeballs out. The Grinton section has rocky sections and definitely requires experience of...

That's a fair drop down Fremington edge, very loose at the top! We were introduced to a lovely off piste section of singletrack near the top Great Pinseat, so much to explore in that area.

A 4 day stay at The Dales Bike Centre at Grinton in Swaledale. An excellent location, with 2 bunkhouses, a workshop and a cafe. Stuart and staff are very keen and helpful and will recommend 'off piste' sections for you to try. Last ride today was from the bike centre out to Castle Bolton then...

Ingleby Incline. Thank you Trek Rail! 😀

I refer to my phone if I need to cross reference a position and only use it for the ordinance survey mapping if I need to confirm my position, when I'm out on the Moors I really only see the phone as my 'emergency get me outta here' tool. I also use a garmin 830 which is mounted on the bars. The...

A handy trig point at Round Hill, North Yorkshire with great views to lean against. Handy for a snack too!
