Smoove lube was introduced to me at the end of 2017 as an alternative chain lubrication. At first, I was reluctant to give up Muc Off; after all, it works great and I’d got into quite a good habit of cleaning and re-applying after each ride. Eventually, I gave Smoove a try when I won a bottle in a giveaway from Cyclorise. If it’s free,… Read More »Smoove Lube – As Good As They Say?
Bike reviews by me are never about the technical specifications of the bike – you can find that anywhere online. They’re all about how the bike feels.

Just the other day MBR shared their ‘Best new places to ride in 2017‘ article to let folk see how many they’d ticked off this year. It has 11 places which were either… Read More »Dalby Forest
I’ve had GoPros for quite a while now. I originally bought my first action camera, a polaroid cube, with capturing my own riding in mind. I wanted to track my progress and play the footage back to myself so that I could see how much I’d grown. Unfortunately, the cube didn’t live up to my expectations and I purchased a GoPro Hero 4. That did.… Read More »Feiyu Tech WG 3 Axis Gimbal: First Impressions
