Last time I left you on the 29er front I was just off into the shed to fetch out a 26″ front wheel.
It had been suggested that the 29er handled so ponderously because the fork offset was designed for use with 26″ wheels. I figured that fitting a 26″ wheel in there, coincidentally steepening […]
Powder Blue Gayer
For all my recent ravings I would just like to clarify that I’m not against the idea of 29ers per se. I certainly have no problems at all with this big blue 29er. Still, it is made for a guy over 6 foot tall so it looks a whole lot more proportioned than […]
…Never The Bride
Seems like my 29er findings have been rather like throwing an angry cat into the middle of a flock of headless pigeons and my effigy is probably even now being burned wherever 29er advocates gather.
I was disappointed that many of the 29er faithful could find no better way to dismiss my unwelcome findings […]

O-ringed beauty
I’ve never been a fan of Biff’s Jones, though I appreciate the artistry that has gone into the frame, and I’m sorely tempted by some H-bars.
Then Biff entered the Fred Whitton Challenge - a brutal day out in the Lake District over all the hardest passes. For the trip Biff slapped some 700c […]
“What’s that pile of crap?”
Not normally the kind of response I expect from the wife when I get home from a ride on a new bike. Even in the dark she was obviously unimpressed by the 29er I’d been riding for the evening.
Still, maybe she had a valid point. It had been stupendously dull […]
1) The only 100% pedal energy efficient full suspension design.
2) The world’s most efficient and traction-aiding suspension system.
They can’t both be right.
Who will handcraft them now?
From Dirt Rag:
Sport Brand are moving to Colorado.
As of Monday last week Spot Brand Inc. became Spot Brand Co. LLC, under the a new ownership group, led by Frank Scurlock, ex of Maverick and Rock Shox.

The folks on the Singletrack Forum have been having a laugh at the expense of some guy selling a GT STS equipped with a bad choice of modern carbon parts.
Contrast that with our experience at Grizedale last month. We finished the ride and were troughing our way through slabs of cake when […]
Well, that plan lasted precisely a week. Instead the good wife had booked us in at midday for some local riding club show-jumping. At least all the miles I’ve been putting in lately have slimmed down my shapely calves and I can pull my riding boots on without passing out or throwing up.
Horses are somewhere […]

Actually we‚re lying about the Maverick since some low-life stole it.
A dogs dinner of links to stuff that we have arranged in an apparently random manner, though I assure you it made sense at the time.
You know it makes sense.

Remember kids, vinyl can't carry Digital Rights Management.
in no particular order...
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.
In the UK as we give away our civil liberties in the name of freedom it might be handy to be aware of Photographers Rights.
Don’t let The Man stop you shooting.
If anyone has a full set of NEMBA results (that‚s North of England for you colonial types) then please forward them.
sometimes you just gotta take action, or at least be able to get our hands on the FACTS
