    I hated mine, the head was a pain to get moving as it wedges in.
    The legs are not retained so you have to get a strap to keep them in one place
    The leg bracket is also not retained so that wanders when you pick it up

    Get a Feedback sports stand, you won’t regret it for a second.

    They do a ultralight or something but this one is not remotely heavy anyway.

    I have the sport one its wicked.

    I’ve had a Lidl one, and a Park PCS9.

    This is light, solid and easy to use

    I have also attached a magnet strip to the side of the head of mine so I can have tools to hand without a tray.

    Is racing not a mindset rather than a skill?

    If you can ride you can ride, if you can’t then get training.

    I have a 10 speed sunrace which has worn super fast.

    This year I had june-july and august off the bike and fitted it in may and its already worn on the smaller cogs, not great compared to the outgoing XT cassette.

    XT to replace for me.

    For a proper full face I would def recommend an O’Neal with the fidlock, they are very comfortable and a decent weight.

    I wanted something cooler so I went for the Fox Proframe, which I love.

    I can recommend the ECX Torment if anyone is looking to get a short course truck on a budget.

    This is good money for one: https://www.applianceelectronics.co.uk/viewproduct/14400/110-4wd-c-ecx03243t2-torment-brushed-whitegreen-rtr

    I bought mine second hand and love it. Been through a couple of front bumpers due to my enthusiastic/ambitious driving style.

    It sends 15-20ft jumps with ease. Controller is adjustable for throttle and steering response so my 4yo nephew can have a go without writing it off too.

    All parts are upgradable and it takes all 1/10 bodies.

    I use soundcore liberty lite https://www.soundcore.com/products/variant/liberty-lite/A3901011

    Available on amazon etc.

    Really good connectivity, the charging case lasts ages.

    Sound is good, mine stay in without any additional pads or adaptors

    Would buy again.

    Had a good few days in Maria Alm 02-06/02/19.

    The recent addition of a gondola out of town and over the hill has made the whole range loads more accessible.

    The pistes are well maintained with only one T-bar encountered throughout the trip.

    The Off piste was great with plenty of snow drop on the 3rd putting down a good layer.

    Definitely recommend Toms bar at the top of the gondola from town.

    Was snowboarding with 4 others all on boards, good time had zero injuries.

    I have an up and over I fitted an electric motor to, it seems to be stronger than when it was manual with three point locks.

    I would personally prefer to have a split pair of doors, would be much easier to use day to day and you can bolster the doors top and bottom with dead bolts.

    I’d guess it will be a 29r.

    They have:

    27.5 FS
    27.5 HT
    26 HT

    Love my Edit.

    I think i might invest in the 26 HT unless they bring out a 26 Slope frame.

    I have used Muc-off, Rhino goo and Proper cleaner

    Muc-off = too expensive but effective

    Rhino goo = effective, cheap and good quantities. Also really good at cleaning alloys on my car.

    Proper cleaner = not as effective as the others, could do with making it up stronger. Too expensive considering the lack of packaging and transport costs.

    I sold my Allez to buy a Whyte Glencoe.

    It is heavier but it is so much more comfortable and enjoyable to ride.

    It will depend on your intended use.

    I will likely never use the Glencoe in a gravel environment, maybe on a canal towpath.

    I have this as my play bike,

    I’ve used it at Corby/adrenaline alley, Skate park, dirt jumps and local trails.

    Lots of fun, would be rideable with a long seat post too.

    I made one from a guitar stand and some 16mm threaded bar.

    Works well but can’t spin the cranks.

    I treated myself to a S/H ECX Torment 1/10 4×4 Short Course truck.

    I love it, everything I ever wanted in a truck.

    It takes all the knocks and can clear all the jumps at the local pump track with effortless ease.

    It’s currently on a 15T brushed motor with 3400 Nimh batteries, I am tempted with a Lipo upgrade and a brushless motor as the ESC is switchable.

    New body first though.

    In my experience there is no one type of goggle which doesn’t fog ever, they all do it a bit.

    It all comes down to how you manage them.

    If the foam is soaking wet they will fog, this could be sweat or rain.

    At BPW they have hand dryers which is handy at lunch to dry them back out.

    I usually take two pairs when i’d doing an uplift day.

    I have Melon, Oakley O frame’s and Fox Airspc.

    I have a motion detector alarm set up in my garage so that would alert me if any passer by would be entering the garage.

    I have this set: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01LXOZ4EN/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Works really well, my garage is on its own supply from the main board and about 20m from the house.

    If it doesn’t work for you its from Amazon its easy to return. no risk

    Go to an In car entertainment specialist and ask them to remove it.

    Won’t be cheap but the consequences of messing with the cars electrical system could be worse.

    I got 5 beers for £21 and had a great time listening to my teenage hero talking about a brilliant career.
