    OneUp carbon bars review

    These are made of carbon, they are black, bar shaped and cost €150. Immediately noticeable improvement in comfort, hands less sore after long descents. Highly recommended. The end.

    Giant Reign Cane Creek Viscoset?

    Has anyone installed a Cane Creek Viscoset to their Reign? MBR ran one and said it was a great upgrade which made the steering less 'skittish'. Would be interested to hear owner experiences and also which size headset is required?

    Happy Valentines day...

    Happy Valentine’s Day to my dearest. It’s been a long journey together, with many ups and downs. We didn’t always agree on the direction our paths were taking, sometimes you wanted to go one way, I wanted to go another, we had some painful separations, but we always got back up and kept going...

    New wheel set needed, what's strong?

    Wheels on the Reign are made of cheese, some impressive dings in the rear after 4 months. Any recommendations for a good value but strong wheelset?

    Fox Float X2 cavitation - anyone else?

    Looks like my nearly new shock is going back to Fox to sort out the cavitation/slurping noise. Looking online seems a seal needs replacing. My LBS said they service the Fox shocks on all new bikes going out as they are leaving the factory sub par. I was reluctant to go Fox after years of...

    A few weeks in - update

    Enjoying this bike so much. Was finding the forks a bit harsh so removed two of the three tokens and took the air down to 90 psi. They feel a good deal more plush now. Running a DHF Max Grip on the rear as a bit of an experiment, great in 90, but it has a tendency to lose traction on steeper wet...

    Anyone storing a spare tube on the frame? Where?

    Don't like carrying stuff so put most tools, tubes/etc on the bike. Having an issue finding somewhere to store a spare tube, using a water bottle so that really only leaves above the BB, but space is tight there with the shock. What are you guys using? And if bringing only one tube for a...

    Battery, insert at home or trailhead?

    New to this, anything wrong with inserting the battery at home, sticking it on the rack and driving to the trails, versus inserting it at the trailhead? The 2 Bike rack is rated for ebikes.

    Battery contact cleaner advice?

    Can someone advise what is the procedure for using contact cleaner after a spin when cleaning the bike? Do you spray both battery contacts once removed and contacts in the frame? Leave to dry naturally or wipe off? TIA

    Bike racks, bike suspended or supported?

    Have always used a two bar mounted Maypole scissor rack. Never an issue with a 15kg bike, but concerned that having 25kg hanging off it will be too much stress on the frame. Worst case scenario is the frame actually getting dented in those areas. Is there some kind of rule about when a bike is...
