We lent Tania our demo Whyte T-130 RS as her Titus El Guapo is positively hanging. She usually rides the Surrey Hills, Leith, Pitch etc and isn’t afraid to get some good air. Watch out guys she’ll roast a lot of you so called Enduro Boys. Let’s see how Whyte’s 130mm travel 27.5 stacked up…

Its all in the mind – the size of your knobs! Or how big you think they are.
I love riding my road bike so much so that I have to make an effort to get onto the dirt. So, last Friday, when I was asked if I would be out on my mountain bike on Sunday I was not too keen. I do like my new bike, the Kinesis FF29, but last…
Scott Spark 29er Expert review and learning ride offroad again
I’ve been riding on the road for the month or so in an attempt to get back some fitness and strength but today I was riding with my other brother on The Chart near Oxted. It was all tight and twisty single track, some country lanes and fairy tale houses. He told me that there…
At last a real and fun winter’s ride
The temperature had only risen a few degrees but that was enough to make this mornings ride really pleasant. It was still freezing, the ground was frozen sold or iced up but grip was good provided by the really cold snow. I was riding with my other brother and bearing in mind the conditions we…
It doesn’t get much better this……. and its January
I checked the temperature just after 7 expecting it to be freezing. It was 5 degrees and the sun wasn’t even up! I’d had an easy flat road ride on Wednesday and decided not to ride Friday so I was really up for to this morning’s trip. I wanted to explore a track that I…
There’s a place for 26″ and 29″
I harp on and on about 29ers and with good reason. So this week I got Scott to lend us a Scale 29er Pro in medium for Will to try. I couldn’t bear the thought of him turning up for his first race on his Kinesis and getting blown out the back simply because he…
Whyte 829 revisited in a Summery October
Today I took out our Whyte 829 demo. I was keen to try this as we had tested both the medium and the large preproduction test bikes. These were the bikes that the magazines had had for their recent reviews. The mags liked them but we don’t know how much they actually rode them. A…
Perfect weather, perfect trails, perfect bike: Whyte 29er CS review
This morning’s ride was so good I really don’t know where to begin. It all started when Andy asked me if I could ride the new Whyte 29er CS. The bike arrived Friday and the excitement began to build. On Saturday I already had my route planned and we got to work on prepping the…
Use it or lose it – Marin Riftzone XC8 – Crank Bros Candy reviews
I rode off road today to finish of a lazy week. I wanted my legs to recover. I soon found that all my road riding has had a cost to it. Whilst my power on the flat is good; my climbing and technical riding were pants. I struggled up the climbs and when we hit…
Riding for the sheer joy of riding
I went out for an easy ride today to see how my legs would feel after last week’s trauma. We left in drizzle but that soon blew over and we spent most of the ride in the sun and wind. The trails are bone dry and dusty. It is wonderful. We rode a load of…
