Hey! I’m moving to Malaga next month and looking to take a couple of bikes in the back of my car. Car is a BMW M3 Touring and the bikes are a Trek Rail 9 and Whyte e-160. I’m looking for a couple of bags to stick the bikes in, the Evoc ones look great but too expensive considering I’m just...

Some random guy snapped this of me at the top of Antur Stiniog today on an iPhone and Airdropped it over.

If you fancy selling your Spank bars and they are 31.8mm, I would gladly buy them! Can’t find them in stock anywhere.

Got to be the Crestline

I was looking in to the SQLabs bar but thought I’d try the Deity first, it has 9 degrees back sweep so a little more than normal. I would definitely recommend the Mobius X8, I physically would not be able to ride at the moment without it, it’s a life saver.

Ended up going for a 50mm 31.8 Deity bar with some ODI Reflex grips. Will report back if they manage to help with the wrist pain. They won’t completely cure it as it was a bad injury, but anything to help take some pressure off whilst it’s healing.

I really want to try a 50mm rise. I can get Spank in 30mm and 75mm, but 75 I think will be too much.

Spank bars don’t seem to be in stock anywhere unfortunately. Would changing to a Deity 50mm riser with a 31.8 bore, from my whyte 30mm riser with a 35mm bore, make a lot of difference. Sorry to jack the thread!

It was my first ride back to today since surgery but the pain was mainly from hits, wasn’t so bad going up, but coming down over the rocky stuff was extremely painful. I’ll try the Spank bars and see if they help, if not I’ll try the SQLabs I guess.

Also keen to try the SQLabs 12, just out of wrist surgery for 2 breaks and a dislocation and need something to alleviate the pain, using a Mobius X8 wrist brace but keen to try these in a 45mm rise. Also looking at the Spank Vibrocore, but the SQLabs may be a better option? Has anyone used...

All it’s missing is a motor and somewhere for a battery 🤣

SRAM Code R on a £9k bike is insanity. Stick with the Wild, Bosch would easily sway it for me.

I’d get the surgery, my wife tore hers, tried alternative treatments for a year. Thought it was better but it never actually healed, she’s now had surgery and it’s painful pretty much all the time with reduced mobility due to the fact she left it so long untreated. Hot and cold therapy will...

I feel your pain, I came off doing around 5mph, landed on my hand, broke my radius, scaphoid and suffered a trans-scaphoid perilunate dislocation, in a cast for 9 weeks, 2 surgeries and probably another 2 - 3 months, if I’m lucky, until I can ride again. It’s always the slow ones when you aren’t...

Have a look at Pole. There is also Crestline but quite pricey.

You can buy something like a Dacia Sandero for less than £13k, think I’d rather ride a bike over it though. A Citroen Ami is only £7500 but it only does 28mph so also not a great option!

Personally I'd be waiting to see what comes out using the Pinion MGU. A few bikes already but I’d imagine a lot more over the next 6 months. The new Simplon Rapcon Pinion looks good!

Another thing is the insurance, my 2016 ZX6R is £17 a month and my Whyte E-160 is £28 a month to insure... I've also never had a serious injury in over 50,000 miles of sports and superbikes over the last 15 years, including multiple trackdays, but I've managed to smash my wrist to pieces within...

Out of surgery, scaphoid is screwed together, radius is sutured as was too thin to screw and ligaments all wired. Luckily minimal cartilage damage so I will be able to ride again, but looking at 4 - 5 months.

Never happens in winter does it. I’ve broken quite a few bones on MX and other stupid activities, always happens right at the start of summer! Do these work with e-bikes? Not sure the wife will be happy with me having my bike in the lounge for 6 months 😂
