    What happens with all the batteries?

    Ebiking has taken off, the school is packed with electric scooters, and electric cars are apparently x1000000 more environmentally friendly. I think I read somewhere that Giant and maybe Tesla would take their old batteries back but that still doesn't explain what they do with them/if they can...

    Rotator Cuff Torn

    Pretty sure I did mine last year and feel like it's getting worse. A little reading online suggests physio can help but surgery is the only real fix. If anyone has torn it did you just live with it or get surgery? What were costs and recovery time like? Cheers MAS

    This is the most random thing. I have a shimano FH-MT510-B rear hub and the hub axle broke. Not the axle but the hub axle shown here. It broke at the little pip just before the thread. I have been told that shimano don't stock the replacement kit for it and also dont stock the hub as its a...

    Tool Capsule

    I haven't been one to take many tools with me while riding and thought I should do something about it. I carry a camelbak but it's too small to carry much apart from the bladder. So I bought one of these soft giant tool capsules that sit in the water bottle mount. It can carry a fair bit but I...
