How to read your Singletrack World Magazine

There is no substitute for coffee, sofa and a printed magazine….

In particular when the site wont let you download the latest pdf…

@David_Polglase I’ve dropped tech a line so it’ll be first on their list when their day starts. Sorry about that.

Fully paid up member but printed version FTW. (Even if some of the images look better on my massive work monitor!)

There is no substitute for coffee, sofa and a printed magazine….

That’s not where I read mine!

So, I have just moved from Print to Digital – what is the best way to read the mag on a (Windows) PC? If I want the ‘full experience’ it looks like I should be heading to PocketMags – does that need a separate account or subscription? The link above takes me to the PocketMags page where I can ‘buy’ mags but it’s not obvious how read STW that I paid for (apologies for stupidity).

There’s a magazine ?

@Vincent_Gregory Pocket Mags is for ipads and iphones. Your best option is probably the web stories, which will include the videos and links we’d also put in the Pocket Mags version, or the pdf – which looks like the printed mag.

Thanks @Hannah – are the web stories all available somewhere (Members page?) when the mag is published or are these the news items I see drip-fed a few weeks later?

It seems so, and apparently you can get 50% off subs if the link to get the deal took you somewhere useful

Edit: finally figured it out (only taken several weeks and an email that wasn’t responded to). Turns out that my old sub was “on hold” since last year, needed fully cancelled before I could take the deal

I’ve never noticed what Vincent was reading before.

@Vincent_Gregory Online articles are listed here: https://singletrackworld.com/singletrack-magazine-online-article-index/ It’s not the full collection, but going forward the full mags will be there – we’ve just done a whole heap of work behind the scenes here to make it happen. If there’s anything missing from the past that you want to read, the pdfs should all be there.

As I said, we’ve just done a lot of work here to get these articles online, and there are a few more developments to come that we hope will streamline some of the download process and join up some of the membership bits and pieces so it’s easier to see all that you’re getting as a member. I’d recommend that you sign up for the Members newsletter as this is the best way to stay up to date with what we’re doing and there are regular feedback opportunities in there too.

@Hannah – thanks again – that is superb work. I only dropped the Print sub as I found the quality of the photos not that great anymore – and I do like a good inspirational photo 🙂

Has anyone successfully downloaded the .pdf issue 141? I just get a white box and downloading the linked file gives 20kb of nothing.

@Rubber_Buccaneer it was working this morning. I don’t understand the tech behind it, but it’s a bit like the fuse on it trips every time we turn a light on in the house. I suspect that some work tech did this afternoon on the site has caused it to break again and I’ve let them know. I referenced above some further work we’re doing behind the scenes – the way we upload and host the pdfs is one of them. Sorry about the trouble.

Anybody struggling to download the new issue in Pocketmags? The app just crashes with the new issue but previous ones load fine. Any ideas please?
