    Have you seen any of the Rampage footage? All those riders will have had different tyres front and rear. Driving a mid range family car on flat tarmac is going to be absolutely fine.

    Doesn’t look bad to be fair. I thought they’d gone bust tho! Or was that just speculation?!

    I had the same on another bike, what jhbpk recommends above solved it.

    Something to do with being contracted out of SERPS/S2P and then contracting back in perhaps?

    You know you can amend them in the app? I checked what my max heart rate was on a really hard shortish run and amended the app accordingly. No idea if it’s right but the time I spend in each zone seems more likely now

    The regulator puts pressure on insurers to stop consumers making rash decisions. Hence the hoops they try and make you jump through. Just cancel the DD and the policy will end.

    Agreed that Grimshaw is less irritating these days, but also don’t find him in any way entertaining.

    Which coincidentally is what I tend to think of Lauren Laverne.

    I had the whole of October off a couple of years back. Prime surfing season in the SW, the tourists have gone home, regular swell and the water is still warm.

    In my experience if you’re looking for anything more sophisticated than a pasty, you’re gonna be looking elsewhere.

    Get some Freeriders and file down the pins on your pedals?

    I just got my 10 year old a second hand Trek Marlin via eBay. He’s well happy with it.

    I bought a Black Diamond head torch for running from Go Outdoors. Does the job, and from memory was about the budget OP has specified.

    I sold two pairs of rapha bib shorts on vinted a month or so back. Sold both in a couple of hours!

    Trapped a nerve in my neck having a snooze. Months of not being able to ride as a result…

    Twitter’s descent into toxicity is relatively recent whereas the DM has been a rag for many decades. But yeah, they can both get in the sea.

    I’m normally pretty relaxed about riding on most footpaths, but I don’t think the SW coast path is fair game.

    There’s definitely some sort of kids evening mtb club at Haldon, my neighbours lad was doing it for a while. I can’t ask as he’s away for the summer hols.

    Surfline will show you the size of a tide at a given location. Which isn’t what you asked for, but does have relevance.

    A friend who takes care of his bike and is very much a wheels on the ground guy, snapped a set of sram cranks. Not for me.

    Stupid suggestion probably, but have you checked the brake is actually bolted on tight? Ditto is rear wheel tight?

    Woodbury is the obvious one from Ottery. Loads of xc stuff as well as some jumps etc in a couple of areas. Easier to find everything with a guide.

    Haldon is easy as it’s waymarked.

    Scadson bike park isn’t a huge distance away.

    Ditto Dartmoor.

    Can’t comment on delivery times, but I did message them via their website with a query re: one of their bikes last week. They came back with a full response in less than 24hrs.

    I did a bmx with Hammerite in my youth. Looked crap. Predictably.

    Total waste of time IMO. It’s just an employer ticking a box, if they weren’t prepared to look after you as an employee, they’re not gonna pay any attention to you as you leave.

    I had a similar issue on a road bike, the frame was out, it was replaced
