Revgrips – a different take on grips Do you really need a new kind of grip? Well, maybe. I have Dupuytren’s (don’t ask how to pronounce that) which apparently proves I have some Viking DNA! Annoyingly it also causes weird lumpiness in the palms which can make fingers bend at the ends as it develops. I’ve avoided that bit…
2016 Ard Rock Enduro photos This is the first year I’ve been to ‘Ard Rock & I’ll definitely be going back! It’s a spectacular event – the trails, atmosphere & organisation were beyond expectations & despite 60-70mph winds on the Sunday, the riding was still awesome.

I’ve ridden with the trusty DMR V8’s & V12’s since I switched from SPDs about 5 years ago. The last lot of V12’s expired recently though, and although they might have been fix-able, it was going to cost a good chunk of the new price in parts, so I thought I’d try something else. I’d have been happy with…
Green Oil Green Oil White Lube White Lube is a wax lube made of naturally produced ingredients. For best results it needs applying to a clean chain (see later).
