Where in the Glasgow area can I buy the latest edition of singletrack?
£6.60 postage, no fanks.
I see them sometimes in WH Smith, Waterloo
Not sure if you might get lucky in Glasgow
Err - £2.40 postage for x1 mag.
Goes to £6.60 for x2
£2.40, no fanks.
So £4.60 for a magazine posted to your door not cheap enough!
You'll pay more over the counter at Smiths

Cover price is £6.50 though, so only £1.40 extra, and you don’t have to leave your house...
If ye can get to caley uni before 6, ye can have mine, it took all of 40 minutes to read on the train this morning.
Charlie the taxmonger ramblings, and someone moaning about farts that Id expect more from.....
Have they restarted any product testing in the mag?
Dunno where in Glasgow you are, but I find it's usually stocked in the bigger WH Smiths stores if anywhere. Does Alpine bikes still stock it?
Charlie the taxmonger ramblings, and someone moaning about farts that Id expect more from…..
Blimey, I'm not farting in front of you in case it didn't meet your expectations.
If you're a southsider, the Tesco at Silverburn always used to have them.
If you get the non-subscription mag then I think there are only about 6 actual articles......
What is the cheapest way for getting a P after your name then? digital subby at 20 quid per annum? I'm not really bothered about the mag now, No interest in the interviews or travel stuff really, I do the kind of riding I like doing, and kit reviews are everywhere online.
Sorry the postage is a lot - but it's a heavy magazine. I've just weighed another UK mag and it's 202g.
One Singletrack magazine is 550g (the new issue is 600g with the calendar) and due to the weight and size, counts as a large letter.
If you get two, that takes it over a kilo and it counts as a Small Parcel, regardless of size - which is why the price rockets. We're looking into ways of cheating the automated post price machine thing for people who did want to order two.
We're looking at ways of being able to absorb the postage cost to registered users and digital subscribers, hopefully in time for the next issue.
As for the content not appealing to you, nobeerinthefridge, it's a game we can never win: for every reader that loves foreign travel feature, there's another who'd rather have a feature on UK riding. For every reader that wants a grouptest on tyres, there's another who'd rather have an interview. My job is to balance all of those disparate demands and enthusiastically produce a magazine every issue that offends the smallest number of people 🙂
Just buy one mag twice. Then you only pay £4.80 postage. Not that bad.
Chipps, absolutely, if you asked me what I'd rather see, I'd struggle to be honest!. I've kinda reached overload in terms of reading about MTB and even watching vids, just wanna actually ride now.
I used to love fish out of water articles, I'd like to see the likes of that, or maybe big hitter races! Ooft! 😂

That's just pricing madness. I'll actually be more expensive for the mail company to deliver two 550g letters rather than one 1.1Kg parcel, but unless you want the extra hassle of sending individual letters then yer buggered!
