Yay!!

Some of you may recall some of my MCN rants where I mentioned a thread on visordown over their chain test which calls into question pretty much any of their tests. Well seems the Press Complaints tribunal agrees their reporting was inaccurate and misleading.

Not that I think it will change MCN reporting, but it should make anyone very wary of believing any of their tests if you dont already.

Nice one

MCN are the most ridiculous bunch of over exaggerating untruthful journalists since the sunday sport. At least the sport admits theyre taking the ****.

To be honest if they printed a front page headline saying 'It took ages to get through all these locks' then the article would have none of the hype, conjecture and downright lies that I would come to expect from a you-wouldnt-wipe-your-****-on-this piece of shoddy journalism

If we believed everything they said biking would have been banned by now and we would be riding bikes that had ejector seats to throw you off if you went to fast.

Gits!!

MCN is written, and run, by a bunch of half-wits. I stopped buying it ages ago, and rarely read the copy my dad gets now. I'm also refusing to go to their bike show, choosing the Alexandra palace bike show instead. Should be better now MCN isnt running it...
