Looking for / think I can use. If someone has one but doesn't want to sell etc, for reference. I'm fairly certain the centres of stem and fork tubes are the same as the conventional cartridge set up. (I know they are larger fork tubes) SM yokes have rubber mounts for bars, the feature I'm looking for. Happ...

I think they are great, so I thought I would share them This is outside a garage in Exeter, does anyone have any idea where it was. They had trav...
Does anyone have any experience of getting their offspring through the A2 test. I know you can just pay someone but the cost is quite high, and most of that seems to be for the bike hire. I have a selection of suitable bikes, an intercom and used to be an instructor with the BMF. The stumbling block could be...

However, it occurs that an existing sprocket may be too hard for conventional...
Huge thanks for organising this Devon TRF, it was a lot of fun and nice to you all. It was a real learning experience too, and showed up some things that need dong to the bike like proper foot pegs, handle bar risers, and proper boots for me! Looking forward to the next one!
Hi all, is there anywhere like and off road center or motorcross track I can take my bike to and have some fun in the South Devon (Newton Abbot) area?

Day 2. Alarm clocks were set for 7am but I was awake at 05:20 due to the bl00dy birds! Bikes loaded we were ready for the off just before 8am. We'd had rain during the night and whilst we packed up the skies looked rather ominous but by the time we set off the sun was out amd it was already feeling warm. Amazin...
