Created the topic Surprising acquisition in Bike Forum
I'm sure most Zwifters would rather see them spending their money on improving Zwift, particularly if they are just going to keep running the platforms alongside each other. No synergies or economies of scale - I can't see the logic.

Created the topic Booking tickets for The Colosseum and the Forum in Chat Forum
It looks like a can pay a premium and get tickets from a 3rd party, or chance it through the official website 30 days before we go but risk them selling out.
Has anyone done it recently?

Created the topic Cheeky overnight in the woods in Bike Forum
Looking at options for a few overnighters this year.
Exeter isnt far from Dartmoor, so lots of options for lying on the floor up there, but considering other options, closer to home.
Ive always wanted to try a hammock, and i think it potentially opens up many more options for sneaky overnights. ...

Created the topic Specialized launches the Epic 9 - claiming the lightest full-sus XC frame ever made in Bike Forum
If you care about cross-country racing, or just enjoy watching the weight-weenie arms race escalate to increasingly absurd levels, this is worth paying attention to. The headline claim: a 1,589g frame weight (medium, with shock, hardware, seat collar, axle, and water bottle bolts included), which Sp...

Created the topic Chain dropping on my singlespeed - better rear sprocket? in Bike Forum
I've had the chain come off on my singlespeed MTB three times in the last few weeks. The first two times I thought maybe some random trail detritus had derailed it as I was pedalling down some narrow singletrack but then today it came off after a landing a couple of (not enormous) drops.
The chain...

Created the topic Water bottle options on a Bird Aether 9a in Bike Forum
I have an Aether 9a in ML. Currently got an old side entry bottle cage in there with a 500ml bottle. I quite fancy a Fidlock setup instead, mainly because it looks nicer. Has anyone used one on an Aether 9a? Ideally I'd like a 750ml bottle but that might be a bit snug. I also have a pump holder unde...

Anyone else see this on the news earlier? I saw it on my Flipboard feed from a Kyiv news feed, and watching the drone footage of the poor dear struggling to walk along the road all on her own, away from her destroyed house made me rather emotional. Wonderful use of the technology to be able to rescu...

Looking for the hive mind on this one.....
I have an Octane One wheelset which is missing a front endcap. The endcap is 15mm and the thru axle passes straight through a 6902 bearing hub using a thrust axle design. As a result the endcap contacts the bearing inner race.

Created the topic Comfiest push on grips? in Bike Forum
I've used ODI Attack/ODI longneck pro grips for decades, tried some others a while back, but they've not really given me the comfort of ODI. The ODI's are nice and grippy, but the soft compound is a compromise sometimes, as the mushroom ridges can collapse easily, especially on old grips. The non pr...
