Weaknesses: none! organising 2008 trip, will be in touch soon Gary!
Overall: I had been organising a trip in 2006 for 8 guys in spain and went to check out other companys on the coast but just didn,t feel they offered the standard of accommodation we wanted. How glad am I that we picked joy-riders.co.uk The converted bodega accomodation is as others have said "outstanding" great en suite power showers,comfy beds, and dining areas both inside and out. Hot tub, pool and a free beer in your hand after what can only be described as sublime rides. Gary and Jude (the owners) have discovered these trails some of which have been unused for years,cleared them by hand and linked together to create wonderful epics. Catered for at every turn with local knowledge, transport into the surrounding towns, which are real spain, freindly people, great food and very cheap (7-10 euros/head including beer and wine )If you like us have done the Alps and are wanting challenging rides where you have to work for the thrill of the downs you can not get better! big thanks to Gary,John and Ian. Happy to supply more info to anyone lots of pics at http://john-mcfarlane.fotopic.net/
Strengths: These are probably the most comfortable baggies I have ever worn. inner shorts probably worth the cost of the shorts. loads of pockets and vents too!
Weaknesses: seem to be well made but the stud fastener fell off after two days riding in the alps! luckily they had a belt.
Overall: A great looking short,very comfortable, lightwieght and practicle although at first they may seem a bit to long you soon get used to them be warned the sand coloured ones are a bit too cream go for the black but well worth buying.(after replacing the stud)
Strengths: gives a brilliant white light, and lasts for up to 30 hours (apparently). very easy to mount no wires etc.
Weaknesses: slightly narrow beam.
Overall: got some great advice from my L.B.S if you are not going to spend £200 plus on good rechargable lights, then you can,t beat this light, cheap rechargable lights not as bright and lucky to get an hours running. First ride was on a wet night in a forest and the light was excellant even better on single track . A great alternative to rechargeable lights if you just want to get out and have some fun nightriding.
Strengths: very responsive good feeling brakes, not had them very long but cannot believe the difference between these and my old v,s look good too!
Weaknesses: none as yet although noticed some rust on the return springs?
Overall: I bought these brakes as my klien pulse does not have disc mounts on the rear. looked at mounts etc but but decide these were the better option GREAT DECISION!
