    Bosch update Gen 4/5.....WHEN?

    Maybe just get a life rather than posting crap which is of no interest and indeed no help other than boosting your little ego. In the meantime can I say in all honesty thanks a lot for your help......NOT! By the way I did search the forum. Missed the thread. Please accept my apologies if that...

    Bosch update Gen 4/5.....WHEN?

    Checked on the forum. Checked any relevant Bosch sites that I could find. Contacted Bosch. All without any hard information on when the updates are going to be available. N.B.. I'm aware that the Gen4 update isn't the full Gen5 update. CX motor Checked today. Still 85nm. Bike and app says...

    First Aid on the Trail. How do we plan for that?

    Following on from my long ago Mountain Leader stuff I have a reasonable idea as to what works & what doesn't. What to carry & when to phone 999. What's your take though on super glue vis-à-vis spray on plaster. I know the probable answer is it depends but just in general. I also carry a Quick...

    Yeh still the same. Some people are amazed that you can wander around the place unless his nibs is in residence. You can even visit queenies log cabin in the woods. Veranda only! Driving around though is somewhat frowned upon.

    My Rail, Resting on Stuff

    This was a bothy long years ago but regrettably some anti social yobs caused so much bother that the estate just shut it up. Carndavon lodge still exists but it's well locked up. There's a bunch of impressive murals inside but you would need to join an organised tour to feast your eyes on the...

    My Rail, Resting on Stuff

    This was apparently going to be a railway bridge for a line going from Braemar to Ballater. Queen Vicky however wasn't too keen on the idea so it ended up as just a bridge on Invercauld estate.

    What components from XT to Sram AXS

    Just when I thought that it might be a "simple" swap......Lots & lots of information on possible set ups. Many thanks guys for the info on what you're running. Time methinks to look at all the various options & consider which way to jump. There's no special rush & I can get all the various bits...

    Long Trousers Short Leg

    Sorry for the delay in replying. The Alpkit troos look just the job. Sent away for a pair in a fetching blue colour. Should match my complexion!

    What components from XT to Sram AXS

    Thanks guys for the replies. Apart from anything else I much prefer the SRAM system where you can lock the Derailleur. Makes it so much easier to get the wheel in/out. At my age and standard of "expertise" with bikes anything that makes life simpler and easy is mucho preferred. Not knocking the...

    Long Trousers Short Leg

    Thanks for the idea but I think that I'll pass on that. While it's not the be all and end all I'd be scared going into any shop wearing that lot. Trousers are 100% preferred

    Long Trousers Short Leg

    Yes. Only once and it wasn't a success. The cost was nearly as much as the troos. And before you say try somewhere else the specialist I chose has been excellent with any other alteration. Buying the correct size is what I'm looking for.

    What components from XT to Sram AXS

    As far as I can see I'd need: SRAM XD Driver freehub Cassette Derailleur Crank (Chainset) Chain Shifter Battery + Charger Is that correct or have I missed out anything?

    Long Trousers Short Leg

    OK so I can't help it that I'm somewhat on the tubby side. So trousers these days are sadly Large or even Extra large. The leg length however remains stubbornly on the short side. I've had trousers of various kinds shortened in the past but certainly for biking it alters the fit too much...

    Suggested tools for chainring lock ring tightening

    2022 Trek Rail 9.8 XT drivetrain with Bosch motor. So what are the best tools for: 1) Tightening the chain ring and 2) Crank removal tool Silly question probably. Will the same crank removal tool be OK for a SRAM drivetrain or do I need a different tool? If so recommendations please...
