    E Mtb Exercise v MTB Exercise

    I used to see a lad at Hamsterley Forest years ago on a very heavy Muddy Fox, it weighed something like 42lbs, on top of that, he lived in Consett, so his ride there and back would be a 30+ mile round trip, before he got into hooning it about. Last time a saw him, he had legs like Chris Hoy and...

    Comfort Saddles - what do you use?

    The best saddle I ever had was one fitted to my 1992 Marin Palisades Trail, it followed me on my next 3 steeds until it fell apart. I have a Spesh BG on my road bike and based on the reviews I've read over the years, I've just ordered a Charge Spoon, I might have mentioned on here a few days ago...

    Tools for the home mechanic.

    With getting my new toy next Tuesday, I tried to take the pedals off my old bike to go on the new one, I opened the cyclists toolkit my kids got me a few Christmas's ago, one of the spanners bent and the other twisted like wet pasta, so I gave up and left it for another day. I didn't know where...

    Help the gimp with the limp who's a wimp.

    It certainly is, since I got home, I've been plotting a few routes to go on and by using the Bosch app, I have a good idea of the mileage I can expect, but allowing for 20% more usage of the battery until I can get an better idea of how it works, so for instance, if I want to do a 50 mile ride...

    Help the gimp with the limp who's a wimp.

    So its not so much that you should always go for an FS, its just that at the moment there isn't really any decent options out there for someone looking for a proper hardtail that both handle the abuse, and be fun to ride if you want to turn the dial up a bit. I tired my best to make my...

    Help the gimp with the limp who's a wimp.

    Somehow I get the feeling that there ought to be a big red sign on top of the General and Beginners Forums that reads... Yes, a Full Suspension eMTB is what you want! Haha It's my fault entirely, I'm very sorry.

    Help the gimp with the limp who's a wimp.

    I'm back to looking at the Cubes again, and for the love of me, cannot see the difference between the 120 Hybrid Pro 500 and the Hybrid Racer 500? There's 3 colour schemes for each model, is it geometry or use or something else? Is there anything I should be looking for on a bike?
