Hi just wondering if there is an alternative to the standard original calliper? I imagine there are any number of Honda and non-Honda callipers that might fit. Or am I tied to finding an original (there don't seem to be that many about and what is there is either pricey or shagged!) cheers Matt
A pleasant ride out this afternoon around Braunton, Georgham, Woolacombe and Ilfracombe with Hoc. We rode the two claim lanes just northwest of Braunton, near Lobb. (C-181 and C-180) Some of you might remember clearing them in November 2014, I think. C-180 was so over-grown with bracken and...
I just thought I would put up a post in praise of Simply Bearings. On two occasions in the last couple of weeks I have ordered seals and bearings over the interweb very late in the day (after 4pm) and received them first post the following day- truly exceptional service, quality product and a sensible p...

Sent a pic of it to a friend who said that it looks like it could of been cracked for awhile, so very lucky it happened...

Endurocks are back at Bratton this Sunday for an open practice day (ride as much/little as you wish in a friendly, non-pressurised manner). Course should be awesome as it was getting pretty lumpy and cut-up, but has been freshly graded over recent weeks so should be smooth and flowing. Bratton is s...

This will be held on Saturday 30 July at our Ashcombe venue. We are offering a maximum of 16 riders the op...
Has a great and hilly mountain bike ride today - a loop from North Bovey. We rode a challenging 191-068 where we were past by a youngish lad on a 4T newish Honda - riding at a very sedate and sensible pace. He smiled but didn't stop to chat and was alone. Was that anyone from here? We also rode part of -073 be...

Three plucky old girls are riding their horses all the way from Dartmoor to The New Forest in Hampshire using Byways & Bridleways. The purpose of their endeavours is to raise awareness of the cut-off date of 2026 bringing the extinguishment of ALL unrecorded PROW. On the 26th of June they made the...
I've made a mistake SWMBO wanted a gas barbie & saw one at Otter Nurseries that she liked. I checked & said I could get it cheaper on line so duly bought it. On Sunday I put it together. SWMBO looked at it and said those words we all dread to hear "That's not the one I liked" I've only gone & got the...

Folks Endurocks are running an MX-biased practice day this coming Sunday 3trd July. They'll be using all 4 fields but the Enduro loop(s) wont be added this time (as this is an ad hoc event outside of their normal schedule -- so is also a pay on day only event). Details here. Great local venue with medic, f...

The next Endurocks practice event will be on Sunday June 26th, this time at a brand new venue - Allercott farm, Timbescombe, nr Minehead (TA24 7BN). I believe they used to run enduros at this venue, but not for many years. It sounds an awesome place with woods, open areas and a river crossing. It's a pra...

Troy's Rieju's black exhaust needs a bit of TLC, predominantly at the manifold end of the expansion pipe (quite rusty). E-bay lists loads of high temp exhast paints, but any recommendations (ideally one that has good anti-rust properties built-in too -- like Hammerite). Got to get the bike ready b...
