Break out the talc! Throw on your finest singlet and oddly baggy loon pants! It's time to soil yourself in this week's FGF!
Can't wait for the Northern Soil compilation - songs like
- Out on the moor (Dobbie Grey)
- If this is love (I'd rather be biking) (Geno Washington)
- Ain't no soil (left in these old spd shoes) Kenny Bernard
Love the Northern Soil badges.
Didn't everyone have micro digicams like that in the early noughties? I'm sure I remember them coming out at random moments on Friday nights.

Maybe - in the time before everyone had a phone with a camera in their pocket, one that actually takes a decent photo too. Somewhat surprised at STW promoting next weeks Chinese e-waste.

I thought it looked OK to give to my five year old. Any better recommendations?
I’ll be having a Northern Soil badge/magnet. For a few years I was a scooter boy back in the day. A subculture that only the UK could do.
"A radial ply mid-spike mud tyre is the very manna from heaven. Or somewhere in Germany."
Manner is from Vienna and is indeed food of the gods (look for it in The Middle of Lidl on special).
That Sarazin looks mint. I love a wild paint job and almost no-one does them.
My Rimpact chain damper arrived this morning. 155mm cranks are in the post.
I bought it for the exact reasons you mention above. I don't think pedal kickback is as much of an issue as people imagine it is but chain slap definitely is. I chose the Rimpact as that's what they've focused on specifically. If it can turn down the volume on my uplift/park bike then it's a win.
The Shreddas seem like much more than a mid-spike to me tbh? Should be awesome though, I reckon the more extreme the tyre the more sense the radial will make. Though it'll probably roll like a brick? Not sure the addix ultrasoft is quite as full-on as I'd like in a beast like this though.
Mboy suggested the Shredda Rear works really well as a less extreme front, a sort of Super-Mary, the Pinkbike review (*) reckoned it was useful more of the time than the Front, and that the Front was basically awesome at one job. I really want to give that a go
(* obviously Pinkbike reviews are often an absolute joke but this seemed to be a genuine one)

Have you seen this?
Move on up (a gear) - Curtis Mayfield
The snakebite (puncture) - Al Wilson
Long after the ride is all over - Jimmy Radcliffe
Nowhere to ride - Martha Reeves & The Vandellas
@rubberbuccaneer, yeah, intersting stuff that. I think for normal people the radial is best used to get low pressure feel and grip out of a mid pressure tyre but I guess for racers it could let them run harder and still have grip? There's a fair difference in rolling resistance unless you add pressure, on the mary at least.
