Podcast Issue 48

by 0

Some accompanying video of stuff that’s in the new issue of Singletrack Mountain Bike Magazine.

There’s some bits of us ripping around on test bike in some lush Welsh woodland… Benji returns to his old stomping ground of Gisburn Forest and play on the frozen “Diet DH” stuff there… Ed and Greta Oxley comprehensively test out the Kona Ute (cheese, wine, wheels, beer, ham etc)… STW Test Squad head over to Wharncliffe… Singletrack bar end caps…

The theme for issue 48 is “Roots/Beginnings”. Centring on the beginnings of the sport, the beginnings of our own riding and the bikes and places we used to ride.

On the reviews front we have a feature called “Handbags” which is about the contents of different types of riders’ rucksacks.

Bikes reviewed: Orange ST4, Commencal Super 4, Turner 5 Spot, Cannondale Moto Carbon, Scott Genius, Kona Ute and an update on our Long Term Test Bikes.

Special thanks to Ed (and Greta) Oxley. For more Oxley thrills visit great-rock.co.uk

Orange Switch 6er. Stif Squatcher. Schwalbe Magic Mary Purple Addix front. Maxxis DHR II 3C MaxxTerra rear. Coil fan. Ebikes are not evil. I have been a writer for nigh on 20 years, a photographer for 25 years and a mountain biker for 30 years. I have written countless magazine and website features and route guides for the UK mountain bike press, most notably for the esteemed and highly regarded Singletrackworld. Although I am a Lancastrian, I freely admit that West Yorkshire is my favourite place to ride. Rarely a week goes by without me riding and exploring the South Pennines.
