Just wondered how else I can waste my office life/ research my next purchase haha

Cheers,

I use Southern Downhill occasionally, but its average age is 15 so as you can imagine its not the best place to get advice unlike STW…. 😆

yep, i second that. STW (1st choice every time) then either Pinkbike or Southerndownhill.
but they are populated with kids who are also trying to 'swap' your 3k rig for their bmx, a Nokia or playstation and a dairy lee triangle.
worth a peruse though, and pinkbike always has great vids should you need to utilise your workday usefully.

other options

I prefer to read arguments 😆

dirt magazines site is good, especially if you like to follow the dh and 4x world cup, nationals etc.

Bike Magic and Weight Weenies for the forums (fora?)

Bike Radar and Cycling News for info.

urbanvelo
velonews

No you don't.

O-t-h-e-r-s…?

retrobike

Cycling site? STW is a Cycling site?

I haven't bothered with pinkbike for quite some time, same with bike magic, bike radar, descent world, MTBR, I do frequent SDH but that's in fits and starts the spelling, grammar and ADHD get a bit wearing and the same topics come up over and over….

To be honest I've only started coming on STW lately because CF seems to have dried up over the last couple of years and Work is quite slow….

Basically they're all shit and a waste of time…

bikeradar when i cba
mtb-news.de (in german though) for stuff more local to Slovenia, Alps, etc.

the xcracer.com forum is terribly polite and sensible. But has lots of members very local to me and so I look in it every so often.
No nichemieisters or arguments about fox seals or EBB's though. 🙁

I flick through Bike radar and Thetford MTB site. Occasionally the TROG site as well as they are local'ish to me.

are Bikemagic and Bikeradar not the same thing?
