Drop Matt a PM and get him to post his thoughts in here?

Mike jumped on my bike and buggered off on it, leaving me to ride a really gnarly rocky twisty downhill section on his Marin hardtail - with no brakes

I am very happy with it, even more so as it is on cycle to work so it is only costing me about £15.50 a month. You wont get a better specced bike for the money at full price, and £800 is a bloody bargain - do it

Dunno about that, I do about half my riding on the hardtail still...

£170 for the Gopro HD 960- just a slightly cut down version of their older HD camera, very nice. Oh but you'd want the chest mount too so add £40 for that.

Anyone know whats going on with bikeradar, it says you can't post.

northwind · 20-02-11, 08:43 PM

Yeah, it blew up at the end of last week

21-02-11, 12:16 PM

Well, Kona sold. So what to do now...

Oh and why a chest mount North? Helmet mount not much cop?

That was quick! Now you've just got to decide what you actually want

Can anyone recommend a simple cycle computer that works on an MTB with suspension? I'm thinking a wireless one is needed but could not get my Polar unit to work with the suspension as the sensor would not get close enough to the magnet. I don't need too many features, just

Speed
average speed
odometer
trip distance
ride time

The main thing is it has to work on an MTB with suspendie forks.
