Singletrack is changing

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.

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.

Should change the name to SinglEtrack, filter out the purists

Oi! I haven't given up on life just yet.

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?!

Clearly you're keeping the tradition of not reading the thread before replying alive 😉

If someone wants to publish graveltrackworld the fine. I come to this publication and site for mountain biking related content

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

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

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.

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.

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

I think you are using a bit too much copper sulphate in your swimming pool water Hannah. 😉

Anything pertaining to singletracks is of interest to me, or would be if I could afford a different colour rosette. 🙂

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...

IMG_5352It’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.

This is a mountain bike site?

Who knew?

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.

Exactly what I was thinking! 🤪
