Search Results for ‘highs’

Many of us have swapped bikes over the years, some bikes performed above expectations & leave a warm feeling when you look back others may have been a bit of a dog. What have been your biking highs & lows??? For me the Transalps have done me well (there have been 5 1/2 of them now...) my main...

:blob7: Hello and best wishes to all (really) big off-road bike fans. With your permission I'd like to use this thread to detail the slow and potentially painful process of managing to make a (half) decent off roader of the mighty Varadero, and how it, and I, fare on this journey of discovery...

Are Renthal Highs the recommended replacement? And what's the thinking on bark busters? I have been hearing that plastic, with a bit more flexibility, is better than metal. Anybody have a view on that?

Don't know if anybody else is having this problem, but i need some new jeans for work and dossing around in. I've tried several places locally and the supermarkets and every pair that i've tried on have the same problem at the moment. I can get them which fit my waist fine and the length of leg...

Just a quick one Got a 1998 XR and want to fit some Renthals 7/8ths In the past when I had XR's, I've fitted Dakar Highs (now Enduro Highs) and wanted to fit them Will they fit? Heard somewhere that someone problems with cable length Or would I be better with CR Highs which seem to be similar to...

Before I continue it has to be said that I have been accused of putting the "Poor" in Pooratech. Just refer to my solution to the problem with the gear lever and shaft.... Anyway, we've just came back from a 1,940mile / 3,123km trip through Europe. I did it on my AT which as you know is not...

When riding on Sunday I noticed my bike at times veers slightly to the right within my lane. It occured on the A41 which I put down to a cross wind but also on occassion on a normal country lane. I checked my riding position and I wasn't leaning to the right. Squeezing the tank with the...

Had a spare day so decided to hit the trails in North Wales once again.....but this time opted not to drop straight down to Llangollen but instead to try a few different trails. I had marked up a "Vale of Clwyd" map (OS 264) a while ago but had yet to sample the trails. So decided today was the...

I was talking to Hotgloves (i'm sure it was him, i'd had some of that alcohol stuff) and when i mentioned that Hood only did jeans up to 28" thighs he said "so goto one of them big guys shops, get some jeans from there and send them to have the kevlar stitched in" I never thought of that...

I think this has been covered before but i'm lazy :D Anyone any experience of any kind of `off` with some of these jeans on and if so how did they fair? I think i remember someone saying they had a slow off with a pair on (can't remember which though) and said they did the job (i think 40mph...

For me, the bike is pretty damn good, all round. But there are things I would change. Power, I need more, well not power really, grunt. I would love a few more dollops of grunt, the kind of grunt you get when a sweaty lady tennis player at Wimbledon serves the final ball for the final point and...
