Opinion: The Opposite of Learning to Fly

upper body armour & pads in general protect against scuffs & bangs. they wong prevent broken bones or pulled ligaments or concussions. dont be fooled into thinking armour makes you invinceable. I prefer less armour - then I'm 10X more focused.

Opinion: The Opposite of Learning to Fly

young people have zero clue what is possible later in life. zero. I too had zero clue. I took up mtb at 39. I may not be from a BMX background but I did skateboard until 38 - had a knee injury snowboarding so hopped on a mtb.. I'm outrunning shredders in their mid 30s but I have worked relentlessly on my bike skills. I have had 2 shoulder injuries one of which cost me £20,000 in lost earnings - but I do now have titanium body parts!! 49 this year.

Opinion: You Should Be Fixing Your Own Bike

a friend destroyed a stem topcap the other day. the headset was loose - he tried to take the play out of it by winching down the topcap bolt (until it broke the cap) without loosening the steerer bolts on the stem...

me too! im not even sure what the top bracket is either. i will figure it out one day, until then im taking my bike to the shop to service the top bracket. they only charged me £94.50 last time they replaced it - I couldnt really tell the difference but they are the experts & very helpful.

my buddy likes taking his bike to the shop as often as possible. i think he feels its a good way to 'show off' his bike. he also only likes to ride certain places that I would consider 'poser-hubs'. he couldnt ride the other week because bike was in shop, I asked 'oh whats it in for?? to blow up the tyres???? he responded 'NO! had to replaced a SNAPPED gear cable (omg emoji)!!!!' the shop was a 30 min drive. he thinks hes doing the right thing because he spent £4000 on a bike he should let the experts deal with it?? I no longer offer the guy any advice whatsover but I did laugh to myself about shifter cable taking 10 mins to run a new inner through..
