Mountain Biking in West Sussex – Powered by Quest Adventure
I've been lucky enough to get my grubby little mitts on a few demo bikes after the last month or so, having had a chance to get to know them reasonably well I'll be posting a few reviews over the coming couple of weeks. First off the mark though we have the super lushness that [...]
Well the dust, or should I say the mud, from the demo day has settled now, so I thought I’d write a few words to let you know what bikes I rode and what I thought of them. This first few months of the year has been awesome as Quest has had a nice flow [...]
I’d been looking forward to riding the 2010 Genesis Alpitude, I rode last year’s and loved it so I was keen to see if this year’s model was as fun to ride. The Alpitude differentiates itself from the Altitude by it’s slacker angles, beefier tubing and longer travel fork. When you first lay eyes on [...]
This weekend I’ve had the new Marin Attack Trail 6.8 for company. I’ve been looking forward to riding this bike since I saw the new catalogue. I was a big fan of last year’s Attack Trail and I wondered how the new one would compare. There have been a few changes and some weight shed [...]

I’d ridden various versions of the Mount Vision in the past, right back to the very original one, in more recent times as I’ve become a convert to the slack angled, long forked hardtail way of life and as such have found the Mount Vision a bit steep and nervous for the way I ride [...]

Features: Naturally insulating and low odour properties of fine gauge Merino wool High warmth/weight ratio even when wet All seams flatlocked for comfort Athletic fit Machine washable I’ve not really been a fan of wool stuff in the past, it always seemed to be itchy and just required too much care and attention when getting [...]
Some of you may be surprised to hear it, but I have had the Hummer six months now. I’d kind of held off writing anything about it initially for two reasons, one – I wanted to get to know it properly, two – I wanted to make sure I’d got it how I wanted it. [...]
