MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I wonder how, as there appears to be no other info. Hopefully they've snagged Mint from MBUK to save me a sub for a msg with little to actually read in it.
its changing its name to X
I have no idea what any of that means.
Was there an email I missed?
Its a 'physical' change to the Magazine, no? Looks chunkier, thicker cover, more book-like?

Just shift your eyes thataway >>
It’s one of those deliberately misleading marketing strategies to pique interest. Shortly to be followed up with “oops we made a mistake and released too early”! All I get is the page informing me of different membership options..
They are probably changing the size of the printed magazine, however, the new size will not be compatible with existing letterboxes so we will all be forced to "upgrade" to new letterboxes. But then we will realise that upgrading is just a bodge and what we really need is a complete new door.
The new technical editor is Roger Mellie
There's no over there >>> when browsing on my phone but if I click on the header I can see this image. Clicking on the image exhorts me to be a member.
Dated February 2024?
It’ll come with coffee & Tunnock’s, by the looks of it. Sign me up!
And a porn centre spread by the looks of it.

Hopefully it will return in focus to mountain bikes and not e-bikes or gravel bikes.
yup....a rhythm pamphlet centre spread by the looks of it.

Yeah it definitely shouldn't move with the times.

If someone wants to publish graveltrackworld the fine. I come to this publication and site for mountain biking related content
I think that image neatly captures the essence of the new direction. It's going to be a mag for shoe fetishists. The first is those brown suede boots with very sensible soles, the gateway drug of choice into the realms of shoe-topia
I need caffeine
Do we get a free bike part with every issue so that in 10 years we have a complete bike?

Four slot Dualit with muffin tray... Mmmm

Who buys those magazines. Theres been a Lancaster bomber one on TV recently so I researched how many mags it takes to build.... 130. Now at the starting price of £1.99 or even £2.99 for #2 then maybe you could work out some metla arithmetic to justify the cost, but from #3 its £10.99! Thats £1,411.70 and you still have to build it yourself.
There is a video too
I wonder how many takes for the perfect hero landing thud?
They have new specialist sections on emplyment law, DIY and Cars to expand their readership, by using AI trained on this forum they have managed to expand their scope without hiring new writers.
3D, nah 4D when mud and cow poo fly out of the front cover when you open it !

Should change the name to SinglEtrack, filter out the purists.

Can you imagine?
I don't like change! 😂

I subscribed to one of those magazines back in 2013 and now have all the parts I need to build a complete mountain bike. It only cost me £130,000 in total!
Unfortunately the magazine kept itself bang up to date with modern standards throughout the entire process and so none of the parts can actually fit together.

For everyone's sake, I hope not.

That was actually quite a funny and interesting group for a while, now it's just like reading the Daily Mail comments section, they're not dull, it's just that no one wants to talk to them anymore.

I know, it's ****ing bonkers! And you could also pop to Waterstones (other book retailers are available) and buy a suitable non-fiction book that would give you significantly more information in one easy to store product.
I’m off with a mate off road on flat bar gravel bikes later today

The word you're looking for is "hybrid".
Half way down page 2 already. Standards are slipping. Can I therefore be the first to exclaim…..
There’s a mag?!

But it’s called singletrack. Which can be ridden on gravel bike, e-bike or mountain bike
Maybe you should set up mountainbiketrackworkd
Ok that’s me being argumentative. But I think we can say say from the forum the cycling interests are quite diverse here

Instead of having it delivered, from February onward you'll have to rummage round in a hedge round the back of an electricity substation to receive your copy

Probably the only group I've flounced from in recent memory. Anyone complaining about moderation on STW would do well to spend a week or two on there and see what the alternative looks like.

Probably see an increase in circulation then.
The word you’re looking for is “hybrid”.
The pointless labels are sort of my point. Is it a rigid 29er? A flat bar gravel bike? A hybrid? Bikes that can go anywhere… I’m interested in them all. Drop bar mountain bikes… mixed wheelsize… 58mm tyres, 3” tyres… whatever. Exploring the countryside… loops of a trail centre… coast to coast… building and sessioning a trail… sleeping outside with your bike… island hopping… seeing you local trails in a new light… all of it please. Keep it wide ranging.

...to get the current issue, you mean?
IGMC.

I got blocked from there because I confused it with Travel Scotland Goals. Hey ho.
I know, it’s **** bonkers!
I wonder how many get to the end of the print run. Must be annoying if it gets scrapped at edition 140 out of 150.
What kind of pervert takes a bite out of a tunnocks tea cake? The only way is down in one go!

I hear round the back of Nationwide is a good place for this.

This kind of pervert:
Aware this isn't appropriate, but that teacake looks bloody sexy in that picture!
Let's hope the calendar is unchanged....
Ps not really a free member been here since the year dot.
Xmas gift sub sort of confused the system 🙂

Other types of bike can ride on singletrack too
This kind of pervert
I've got it! Miranda Priestley is going to be the new editor so you've matched your hairstyle to hers?
Let’s hope the calendar is unchanged….
Its twelve photos of the tunnock teacake being consumed bite by bite.
That would really only 1 or at a push to pretend to be polite, 2 months...what would the other months be pictures of? The empty wrapper???
Didn't they upgrade the quality of the paper in the mag a while ago?
Thicker paper. Seem to recall Chips saying they went against printers advice and increased page thickness and quality of mag content rather than focusing on solely on digital.
Oh, my vote is for the website to return to the pre-2008 "great hack" colour scheme of coffee and cream. I miss that look...

In one of the MegaSack vids, Ben made a reference to getting naked. I though it was just a quip, but now...
It’s an old photo (I still have my first wedding ring on in that shot! 😱). Looking more Chewbacca these days. Very overdue a cut and can’t afford the bleach! Probably shouldn’t have taken scissors to my fringe over Christmas.
Is it an audible version- Hannah comes round & reads the mag to us?
This is a mountain bike site?

Exactly what I was thinking! 🤪
