Thanks for your advice.
We're lucky as we live in a rural setting but basic security will be;
heavy duty door bolt with 'blind' screws on bolt & hinges
U brackets in concrete fitted with anti-tamper anchor fitted horizontally to concrete base & vertically to side of garage wall
'best' / most...
Old thread, new question.
I'm about to build a bike shed as they are taking up too much space in the garage (6 off). I have a reasonable design in mind but need to find hanging brackets (like below) that will take up to a 2.8 tyre. Normal ones struggle at 2.4 or higher. Any thoughts /...
Venu 2 user (wife has the 2S for smaller wrists). It's a very good watch / health tracker and my only 'real' complaint is that Garmin have not released a eMTB mode for tracking.
If I was buying now, either the Venu 3 or Epix.
No pictures of bikes or riding but looking across to Keswick (it's in there somewhere) from Whinlatter Red North on Saturday. What a great day to be out !
Reminds me a bit of below - fascinating and fully expect to see these being used in the next couple of years. It took a while for drones to be used by Mountain Rescue but now they are a key piece of kit.
Seeing the get-up reminded me that I need to research the dirtlej onesie - came across someone wearing one on a local ride and he couldn't speak highly enough of them. Expensive but at the end of your ride, you remove and you're dry below...
A new / decent bike stand to replace my crappy Aldi middle aisle special. Super stable and rated to 40kg !

I bought my Cube hybrid 2nd hand (from a member on here) and it was a pretty easy thing. Besides a good inspection, make sure you get to ride it (preferably, off road) and listen for creaks / rattles that aren't there unless you are putting it under strain. Enough already said on motors /...
Took an extended lunch break yesterday and swapped the units over (Cube Hybrid 160). Reasonably straightforward other than (1) actually locating the 6 bolts that mount the motor, (2) making sure the speed sensor & control cables weren't trapped / pinched when fixing the motor back and (3)...
A Kiox upgrade to my Bosch Purion display as (a) provides useful data on power used, (b) allows for simple navigation and (c) because my Purion is knacked and the display doesn't work ! I don't fancy being out for a ride not knowing how much battery is left !
One of the reasons I went for an eMTB is age coupled with dodgy hips, meaning I was in pain after riding my analogue, irrespective of the distance. Now I'm riding longer / further and whilst I'm not using as much 'effort', I'm getting out riding which I haven't been able to do comfortably for...
Just changed both Michelin tyres for WTB Vigilante up front @ 25psi and WTB Trail Boss @ 22psi at the back and I must say that the difference is staggering. OK - the Michelins were worn and still had loads of tread, but in the soft / wet / mud of the Lakes over the weekend, I was seriously...
Err - increased import charges due to;
Ukraine war (sorry, special military operation)
Global shortage of cable end covers
UK ban on import of 'foreign' tyres
...
Radon Render 9.0 750 - excellent value (IMHO). Only downside is that they (bike-discount.de) won't ship to the UK, assuming due to increased import charges following Brexit. However, if you have a mate in Holland / France / Germany / etc., could be an option.
I'd appreciate any GPXs especially around Keswick (I live near Whitehaven). Getting back into MTB and aiming / hoping to do 'proper' long rides once I get a bit of fitness back !
Hi - I'm thinking of upgrading from Purion to Kiox. (a) is this still for sale and if so, (b) is this the upgrade kit (with cables, etc) or just the controller & display.
Thanks
