Interesting to conduct a survey that looks forward…but ! Why not conduct a survey on Trek owners Experience of ownership in terms of reliability? My Trek rail 9.8 XL will be one year old in 28 days.. In terms of riding it’s a great bike, but, so far under warranty the following has been...
In my humble opinion chain ring nuts should not come loose ..period. Why is is this acceptable? To me way back in the 70’s 80’s wheels used to come off trucks…okay showing my age, but when was the last time you had to check your fly wheel bolts torque apart from when you may have replaced a clutch…
Just spotted this posting ! On my 9.8 XT which will be a year old at the end of July, I had no problem with the Kiox until I travelled across to Elan Valley mid Wales refitted the Kiox after the journey and it wouldn’t switch on…kept trying the on/off switch and bingo it came to life and I was...
One of my points on the reliability issue is in the car world there are a number of car magazines and Which for example that you can easily obtain data on the reliability and quality of products to help your decision making.For an example Which measures how many customers respond to their...
Trek Bikes…the equivalent to Jaguar/Landrover cars? Performance and Off-road capabilities second to none? But, when it comes to
“ Reliability ” these cars linger in the bottom third of consumer reliability league tables and if similar data existed in the bike world would Trek be in the lower...
I used Nikwax on my Goretex and SympaTex shoes and found a product called URAD Waterproofer/Conditioning Wax for my leather half chaps applied twice and its really working. Hope your back gets back to normal asap..
I have a widish foot normal shoe size 9 to 9.5, my Five Ten free riders are a 9.5 width just great but I wouldn’t want them any shorter. I ordered the same size in the Trailcross Goretex and had to exchange for a size 10 as they were too narrow. I also bought a pair of Five Ten EPS shoes in a 10...
Some may recall my first post as a new MTB rider this year having giving up horse riding and my experience with trying to find waterproof footwear. I sent back two pairs of the Adidas goretex shoes due to wet feet and bought a pair of the Vaude SympaTex and you guessed it I still came back with...

Just looking online and found a website selling the Moab mid STX for £114.12 but not sure about size most reviews state to go bigger this particular site is only showing EU sizes what’s your experience on how they size up?
I assume some water may travel through the sock but most of the spray comes up from the front wheel and directly hits the front of the ankle and the laces which is where I think the water is getting in. On my ride with my 3rd pair of shoes there was less standing water when I removed the shoes...
I wore regular knee length socks over water resistant jodhpurs ( some of my horse riding gear coming in Useful! ) i could get a reasonable fit then with the above ankle Velcro fixing. If the Gore-Tex is in the neoprene under the laces and around the ankle then this is where the problem rests ? I...
It is really good I’m lucky where I live and have direct access to Titterstone Clee and Cleehill and Brown Clee is a couple of miles of tarmac away lots of sheep so I have fitted the large mudhugger on the rear don’t mind mud but sheep droppings is different..
I didn’t realise how difficult it can be in the bike world to buy functional waterproof shoes? I’m new to EMTB this year trading in my horse to ride two wheels. I bought my first pair of Five Ten Freerider shoes at the beginning of summer and soon bought my first pair of Sealskinz socks the...
