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?

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?

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.

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.

Are you on Dull Mans Club @benpinnick ?
Are you on Dull Mans Club
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.
