Not much use on muddy trails, can't stop every few yards and brush the mud off ...

I can confirm that a wire brush might remove that UK Mud. There’s probably a mixture of clay and natural glue included in the dirt.


Simply zip tie three wire brushes to your front forks. (Underside of crown and both forks.) do the same for the rear triangle.

Your welcome 🤗

That's the one. Need turbo to keep bike going at a decent speed , and the headphones 🎧 to block out the brush noise . New Christy Minstrels song on
( Three wheels on my wagon ). Imagination is a great thing.

That is boutique mud, designed to make you think you are riding through mud.

This is mud! Lincolnshire clay soil a few days after rain (so it is sticky not sloppy).

The stays were shaping the mud and I thought that the paint would be stripped off, so I had to stop. If you look carefully, in line with the top tube, there is a stick! And look at the lower jockey!
I cleaned most of that off and got the bike going, only to have to do it again after 200 yards.

A puncture would have topped it off.

I can’t take credit for this genius idea but I wouldn’t mind a small mention in the patent application.

“Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention” -a forum member.…I think 🤔

I suppose a BBQ grate cleaner could also be used because those are available with nylon brushes now.

I’m currently designing a metal cage which fits over a bread toaster to prevent anyone from shoving a fork or knife into the electrical heating filaments. Should save lives. Must be a metal cage though. (Ask how I know).😉

OT: I was wondering, why I couldn't see the image, so I tried to download it. It's 7.1 MB!!! This forum apparently won't resize uploaded pics to reduce data usage and bandwidth. So maybe everyone tries to be a little more sensitive to file size. 😉

Congrats to Colin (?). Cube delivers the TM with Maxxis MaxxGrip front and rear and Canyon here comes with MaxxTerra rear, to what I recently switched my Cube as the superglue MaxxGrip Minion rear was worn. MaxTerra is noteable rolling easier and grip still fine for me.

What’s the block on the rear valve stem. 🤔

With the Gen4 "Smart" motors, they also have a wheel sensor built into the back of the motor itself. So with the Wheel magnet mounted on the valve stem, you get wheel speed without the need for the speed sensor cable down the off side chain stay.
