Real shame for the employees and those with unfulfilled orders who had paid. Have an early K4 Voima (Nov 22) with about 1000miles on the clock and only real concern I have is also around the swing arm failures. Fingers crossed on that one but in the meantime I'll continue to use it and enjoy...

Used to love kite buggying and mountain boarding with the kite. Even tried a bit of racing here in the UK but mostly headed over to Calais in france to ride the huge beaches over there. PKD race kites and a Viper Parakart buggy topped out at 61mph once...felt twice as fast so low to the ground...

Race face Roams for me. Described as an "enduro focussed" knee pad. Just bought a second pair after 2 years on my last. Several crashes incl at bike parks and no issues with protection they've offered and they're really comfortable. Worn them for several all day rides on a fair few occasions and...

Giro Switchblade, open face and full face in one helmet. MIPS, adjustable tightener and DH rated. Has become my go to for most rides. Feels a bit more solid than the Fox proframe I had previously and the adjustable tightener they use really gets a good fit.

For planning rides then Komoot which I then run on my Garmin 1030. Found it to be the easiest planning tool (though not always perfect) but if you can grab a gpx file from someone else's route off strava/wikiloks etc then it's easy to upload that into Komoot and edit as required. Have found that...

Couldn't get a touch up paint from my manufacturer so tried G Paint Bike Paint (got mine off amazon). Comes in a set of 8 that you can mix together to get your colour and is applied by a small brush. Won't be as good as a spray paint but it actually went on quite well and I managed to colour...

Ride concepts powerline have worked well for me. Good grip and support. Slightly higher round the ankle than their livewires which I like (have owned both). Seem to do a reasonable job keeping feet dry in wet conditions too.

Propain Tyee 29er. Love the bike but it was pedalling this round South Wales for 40km that sold me on an ebike :D Split my time between the two now but ebike is taking over a bit. Still, trip to Bike Park Wales in a few weeks and this will be in its element!

Just had phone call from LBS. Had a Marin E2 on order (UK) and was supposed to be in the 1st batch of deliveries. They've been told that Marin haven't been able to produce the number of bikes they wanted to (about half) and as such my bike wouldn't be available till April 2022. Real shame as had...

I'm 6'5" and have the Marin Alpine Trail E2 on order. They size the dropper to 170mm on the XL and on paper it's 505mm on the reach. It's similar geo to my enduro bike (actually slightly longer reach) so confident it'll be fine. Only change I've made on the spec as part of my order is to boost...

Lucked in and managed to get the last XL E2 from my LBS for the April/May delivery. On paper has the geometry and sizing I was after (comparable to my enduro with a little less travel) so fingers crossed. At a little over 6'5" I'll no doubt have to make a few changes (riser bar etc) but looks...
