Hi guys. Down to 116kg now so lost 11kilos. This bike is one of the best things I ever bought!

I use the Bikehut 1600 lumens one from Halfords. Cost me £45 with BCC discount and it works a treat.

I am 116kg and Endura Humvee ll are perfect. I bought the XXXL when I was 127kg but since getting my Giant Trance, I have lost a heap of weight. Might have to look at a pair of XXL soon as I continue to lose weight.

Sounds like a visit to chat to them for me. I'm a tight Lancashire lad so like a bargain too!

Thanks for this. Might have to investigate these. Did you get them from an opicians or just take your prescription to an Oakley dealer?

Do these give you peripheral vision, for example looking over your shoulder?

I have the Thule Easifold 3 bike rack and have to agree that it is heavy. However, this is the easiest rack to put on and off I have ever used. I roll it out of the garage as it has wheels (nice touch, given its weight) and place it on the ground behind the tow ball. The plug can be easily...

Cost me about £118 for both locks in the sale at Halfords (still on offer) with extra 10% for BCC membership. Both SS Gold so satisfy my insurance. I think that is good value personally. They review well (especially the 540 in terms of weight of lock vs attack success. At the end of the day...

When I need to leave my bike (even only for a few minutes) I use the following: Abus Granit XPlus 540 D-Lock securing the frame and the back wheel as well as the Abus Granit 53 D-Lock Combo Pack securing the frame and the front wheel with the cable through the rear wheel, frame and seat to the...

Thanks, useful to know.

Thanks guys. Makes me feel a whole lot better! I can hold the bike in both hands to find the balance point and then tighten clamp to the frame. Didn't much fancy holding the bike in one hand (no superpowers here!) whilst tightening up the clamp. Woud've been fine with my CX bike but not my...

Hi guys, Have a Giant Trance E+1 pro which has a dropper post. Bit wary about clamping around the dropper part of the seat post in a repair stand but folks say not to clamp the frame. Just pulled the trigger on a Feedback Sports Pro Elite stand. Looking forward to recieving it but wondered...

Lost another kilo! These E-bikes are great!

Difficult with a full suspension bike of any variety. If you are wanting to do some serious bike packing, forget a full sus emtb. Get yourself something like a Surly Long Haul Trucker and load it up!

Sorry, you said "if you look like this in lycra" I read it initially as, "if you like looking at this in lycra, fill your boots" In second case I certainly will?

Bought some Endura Humvee shorts the other day. Includes a pad and the shorts seem well made. Nice and loose fitting, which is great for a big guy. Plenty of pockets means I don't always need a pack. Shop around and they can be had for under £30. Can definitely recommend these especially as...

I am enjoying the Yamaha motor. I had initially decided to go for the Brose S Mag which probably has the edge, albeit not by much. Sadly, the range of bikes using the Brose is limited with the Levo being the main one available. I just felt that I was getting so much more bike for the money...

Ha ha! I might stop for a coffee. Just have to say no to those nice cakes that they always have by the counter!

Hi guys. Picked up this bad boy a week ago and am absolutely loving it! So far have done three rides of about 14 miles each. I started the week at 127kg and finished it at 124.5kg. Now that I am back out riding, I intend to use it as a means to get fit whilst having loads of fun! It has also...
