Pondering

Pondering whilst riding down to Stoke on Trent the other day, reflecting on recent cheeky and night rides.

1 If it can’t be ridden on steel hardtail it probably isn’t worth riding.
2 You can ride a heck of a lot of stuff on a steel hardtail.
3 5 watts is enough lighting power for 90% of night riding.
4 10 watts will do 5%.
5 You can manage the remaining 5% by moonlight.
6 2.1″ is a fat tyre. More than that is just bragging.
7 You can spend lots of money on fancy tread patterns or you can just stick to square knobs.
8 It doesn’t matter what type of shifters you’ve got - if at all.
9 Flat bars, taller stem, and bar ends make the best cockpit.
10 Riser bars are more fashionable.

For all that we like the up-to-the minute offerings of the web there‚s nothing like a proper badly photocopied A5 fanzine or a glossily printed proper magazine to keep you occupied on the throne. Here, in no particular order, is our material of choice.
