Since the content never seems to change much I just keep a copy of June 2009 WMB in the bog which I skim through once a month. The money saved pays for my Razzle subscription.
I might start doing the same with MBR and spend that on malt loaf.
Going back a few years I recall a letter to WMB from a lady reader, new to off road biking who asked for advice on a beginner’s hardtail. The response was a walll of jargon:
Bought MBR a couple of weeks ago, *hangs head in shame* and was quite pleasantly surprised, the format seemed to have changed and quite surprisingly Specialized was beaten by 4 of the 5 bikes it was up against!! 😯
Well considering that ‘cheap’ Spark only has an carbon mainframe and an alloy build out the back for suspension duties it’s pushing the boundaries of exactly what a ‘carbon’ bike is anyway
My Genius is like that (as was the Strike I had before it). Seems to fool lots of people that it’s a carbon bike.
