You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
If you’re new to the world of mountain bikes, you might find it an unfathomable world of tech jargon, incompatible standards, and marketing babble. To cut through it all, you might go in search of advice, from other humans that ride bikes. Maybe you find your way to the Singletrack World Forum. Here, surely, you will be able to ask a sensible question like ‘Hello, I’m new here, maybe you can help me. I’ve got £1500 to spend on a bike, what should I get for riding around blue trails, maybe some reds when I get better?’. Yes, you will probably get some answers. But you will likely also get cryptic responses. What follows isn’t so much a glossary, as a bingo card. Welcome to the Singletrack World Forum, in all its wonderful weirdness.
Advice. Often sought, sometimes received, always conflicting.
B is for Bees. To be carried ceremonially on a Laura Ashley cushion. And Big Hitters.

I did this morning, then went to the forum thread directly this evening having totally forgotten what the canonical one contained...
T surely should be for TJ? I certainly don't agree with him 100% of the time, but surely he is the STWer Supreme: cantenkerous to the max, a man capable of drawing a disagreement out of an internationally recognised treaty, a vile yet loveable landlord, he wears Crocs yet doesn't hesitate to offer satorial advice, a milllenial man from the last century...
