I need a bag of glass beads for the shot blaster but the nearest stockist I can find is Western Spray at Crediton. MachineMart only keep the fine beads (BEL 23) but I need something a bit coarser - preferably BEL24. Anyone know of a supplier local to Exeter please? TTR

I felt compelled to share this experience. Last weekend I had planned two days of local riding from Shaldon with four friends. On the Saturday only 10 miles into the ride near Windmill Hill, I dropped my bike and ended up breaking the clutch master cylinder. Attempts to cable tie it on were futile as it t...
You may not realise it but the Freedom of Information Act (FOI) is a useful and well used tool in the TRF's ROW armoury in the fight to gain the information we need to bring to book those authorities who are less than honest when it comes to denying our rights to ride unsurfaced roads yet the government see...

Well what a great weekend with Corky and mates staying at LLanchinda Farm which was fully kitted out for bikers and just about everything else. The food, service and surroundings are perfect for the trails. Not any photos except this one as we spent time riding! Very well sorted for all abilities wit...
With no one wanting to ride & the rather inclement weather today I had to get my bike fix elsewhere. A trip to CMS and over £200 later I have a brand new pair of Alpinestars tech 3 boots & various service related consumables Ah well, Christmas is coming
After the double puncher I had today, screw through the rear wheel, thorn in the front wheel. I am going to buy tubeless. Kleenex do still have any more available. If not does anyone know the best place to get them. Cheers Nick
Hi I want to make some frame guards for my freeride, they are to protect the aluminium frame from the side of my boots rubbing. Anybody got any suggestions about how to do it. One idea I had was to use some sticky kevlar type material something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Real-Kevlar-Carbo...
As most Devon TRF members are aware, there has been an incredible amount of work carried out by Devon TRF volunteers helping to keep Devon's green lane network open for all users.

Been out of the major bike scene for some years now but enjoy flitting through what's what now and again, anyone checked out this Honda with trailtech options. A quarter of the prise of a big Gs BMW and half the price of a Ktm 690 adventure, go take alook on you tube?
Many thanks to Mike Wright for taking me out for a bimble around the local lanes on Sunday,and taught me a few things to make my riding better (and more importantly,I stayed on the bike!).I had a great time and my confidence was boosted greatly,especially liked the flooded lane,and sorry to Mike for so...
Just got myself a CRF 250X that has come fitted with front and rear tyre mousses. The rear I was told by the previous owner is an oversize unit which I presume is correct as it feels a lot harder than the front. The advice I need is why would the rims be fitted with standard schraeder Valves if there is no tub...
I was planning some routes around Dartmoor on a 1.50k OS map from this site http://www.qwerf.com/greenlaning/?county=devon but some of the lanes are actually marked as footpath but one of the routes markes as a foot path I have already been down and is actually marked as byway. Which is correct or d...
To buy my Bonnie? Apart from the fact that the old ones I guess will now see heavy discounts - no, as one of the reasons I got mine when I did was I wanted one of the last ever air cooled ones I'm just coming to terms with FI and these have ABS, Traction control and all manner of new fangled gizmos that I just do...
