I have both a 26" & 29" hardtail MTB's. 26" is snappy and twitchy in the woodlands and you can throw it into a corner are the plus points, the down side is that it feels the rough terrain more and does not roll as well (slight difference), but overall more responsive when you need to make a quick decision and change…

self stick on ones while on the road, then when get home replace tube for repaired one, take of self adhesive patch and put old style path and glue on, there are some smaller patches which are road suitable. of corse if we all fitted more puncture protection tyres we'd all eb in teh same boat with the extra weight and…

Congrats on your steps to change. i can only suggest that if you can walk for 30 minutes each day, then maybe join a rambling club and walk with a group, perform a search as to if there are any Health walks in your area.. you may find a support group there. i think you find initially the treadmill is great, then it becomes…

purchase a saddle bag, that fits a small lock, one or two spare tubes, a piece of toothpaste tube ( in case you split a tyre for repair), and a couple of tyre levers. the small pump can be fitted to the bike along side the water bottle holder. so no need for a back pack, unless you want a range of spare clothing options…

Try adding west and south of london to... the roads we cycle in a radius of say 60miles are shocking truly shocking.. to the extent i'd say you would not want to cycle them in the dark for fear of destroying your wheels !. i hit one the other night and it made a horrible cracking sound to which i've yet to find any fault…

monday and thursday for me, i also find i can walk briskly after work now and feel more energised and feel like i have more stamina than on full on eating days. only downside is foul breath on fasting days....(not that i notice but my other half regularly informs me...) fourth week of this and finding the fasting days…

i've read that a full fat milk glass of is just as good as any protein shake but without all of the sugars, yes it has fat in it but no other addertives., like talked about here eat normal foods before training like chicken breast and Egg's, then afterwards have a glass of full fat milk (less if you don't like like semi…
