I've not been on the biking forum in months.

Winter set in and my mood hasn't been great. That's when I started to post on this forum really. Which I'd virtually never done before.

Now I'm starting to look at the Bike and plan a few things... As well as worry about the cost of having my pikes repaired from crash damage. I'm starting looking at the Bike forum again and getting used to the 10spd vs 11spd vs 12 spd type arguments again!

It's refreshing actually! 🙂

I think the chat forum has been so "interesting" though that I will still be on here a lot but I'm actually quite happy that my head is getting back into a biking frameset.

Any other forum migrants on here? 😀

I only ever look at the overview which incorporates both.  Don't have time to take two forums into the shower

Just the usual split for me. I will however be on my bike for rides longer than my daily commute as soon as this cold crap stops.

Had a nice ride the last couple of Thursdays and a fun rise last weekend, but its nearly all been on the road on the hybrid as the local routes are so cacked up.

Overview only here, I wouldn't look at the forums separately. I just have a quick scan down the overview to see what shite people are fighting about now 🙂

There's a "Bike Forum"?

Edit: oh yes I remember it now. I wonder did they ever solve that wheel size debate 🤔

Oh Damnit!

<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">Forgot the exotic allure of the For Sale forum too! </span>

I don't really need GX Eagle though do I? My 11 speed is all I actually *need*..... 😁

Strictly overview only for me.

One of the main reasons I like this place is that weird stuff and sensible stuff is all mixed up in a bit of a jumble. It sounds like it shouldn't work but it just feels more natural that way.

Oddly I've never used the overview page.

Not sure why, kind of like having both pages up on  separate tabs on the mobile to flit between the two.

I came years ago for advice on a bike build. I’m now poor and down to one (not mountain) bike. This been the case I spend 75% of my time in the chat forum and 25% looking at the bike forum and crying gently

I'd forgotten about the bike forum. Nice one, I'll have a look.

EDIT:  Yup. Pretty much as I thought - it's still just loads of stuff about bikes.

Can you post pics, vids and edit posts over there?

Or maybe that's all been sorted now?

This ones much better I love to read what folk think a good tradesperson is worth when they may be on 80k with free boopa themselves sitting on their arses

Im in the building trade as you may well have guessed

The other forum can be a wee bit history teacher wi padded elbows ie boring just sometimes though
