I've always been a roadie, apart from occasionally dabbling in cyclocross, but lately I've been hankering after doing a spot of proper offroading. After 45 years on this planet, it's about time I extended my cycling horizons. So, I was very pleased to get the opportunity to borrow a Saracen...

..... For me it is not cycling round man made trails litter'd with jumps .. to me that is nothing more than a jazzed up bmx course pretending to offer a genuine MTB experience ie Glentress and other such locations , All they offer is just a false experience ,, Yet those folks that spend...

I'm comparing Decathlon's inexpensive MTB Brake Pads (blocks) to their inexpensive Road Bike brake Pads (blocks). I'm using the same bike, just swapping the brake Pads, they're setup the same distance from the wheel rim. First impressions are that the longer MTB Pads are better at stopping.

What you rocking that's different from the norm? any monster crossers, drop bar MTB's, fat bikes......... lets see what you got??

Hi I need to get a new front wheel for my old 1980s Raleigh Mustang. Will most mtb wheels be compatible with my bike and will most accommodate my 1.75" tyres? Also, if I get one with a quick release lever, will it be compatible with my front fork? Thanks

I've just replaced the siezed forks on my commuter MTB with some Exotic rigid forks which don't have a bridge, so nowhere to attach my front mudguard. I could bodge something up with cable ties, jubilee clips etc but it will take time (that I don't have atm) to make something rigid enough to...

Short notice, but if anyone fancies it..... I will be there in the morning with the oldest lad to give it some stick on the red loops and probably squeeze in a lap of the blue around the Irwell valley floor. Haven't been for a couple of years now so will be interesting to see what state it is...

Nothing special really. I just created a YouTube account today and decided to post some of the little digital camera vid clips that are the highlights of some of the MTB moments from my kids as they grow up. Might be of interest to other MTBing parents (plus a couple of clips of me, filmed by...

The mystery black painted Raleigh MTB I recently salvaged has a sizing issue; the large 23" frame is manageable in height as I've got long legs. However the reach is massive as the frame TT length is 23", plus there's a 125mm stem fitted with fairly straight handlebar. If I measure from the...

Just picked up a Boardman Comp MTB. It is used and needs a bit of TLC but at the price I paid I am very happy. Frame is in good condition as are the wheels and tyres. Some bearings may need attention! Going back to my roots. Still have the Boardman road bike but Mountain Biking is where I...

I do not run with much drop anyway being on the smaller side of ass :) My road bike has 3-4 cm of drop but my drop bar mtb feels more comfy with a longer no drop stem . Has anyone an idea why ? , the mtb is more of a winter bike cruiser and some have called it a tourer set up .Tried a...

Hi, my wife has an MTB with 27.5 wheels but she wants to swap the knobblys for something more suitable with less resistance for touring on the roads...does anyone have any recommendations?
