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.

Hmm… Zefal QR skewers.. Are they magnet proof???? ( to move the bearing )
So every time you want to take the wheels out you have to turn your bike upside down and scratch cockpit items and the saddle. Not liking that idea.
@ jd-bouy errr – isn’t that how most people change an inner tube? I think those QRs are a great idea. evil wheel thieving scrotes won’t figure it out and give up (the longer it takes to nick something the more likely they will give up)
I really like those anti-tealeaf skewers. Price?
In my experience most chavs don’t understand that QRs are meant to be folded over to lock them, they just grab hold of the lever and unscrew it……….
reckon those QRs look good, but i wonder how freely the bearing will move after a winter of wet salty roads… would be a right bugger if it got jammed or corroded…
camelbaks excluded some nice ideas for the fixie & commuter world…….
…..which arnt so appropriate to the singletrack world??
Remind me, what’s the website claaed again?
Don’t be so insular and reactionary. It’s not like were NOT covering MTB stuff is it? :)
I’m loving those anti-theft skewers.
Nice MKS DD pedals,real world price?,when can us mere mortals get hold of them.
The Zefal skewers aren’t great. At last year’s Zyro show the guy doing the demonstration asked one of the audience to try and open them, so the guy from a bike shop walked up and undid it by twisting it no problem.
