...This new Kona Roast features a 7005 downhill alloy frame, a marizocci z5 fly lite air suspension, a drive chain consisting of a raceface pordigy chainset and shimano deore LX front and back derallieurs, deore shifter, 9 speed cassette and XT cranks. Having bought this bike I was shiocked at just how good value for money it was, Wioth AVID V brakes and Tioga Down Hill factory tyres It handled like a BMX. This wasn't the first KONA I ever owned, owning a nunu a few years ago 'til I smashed the frame jumping. Even I won't be able to break this Roast frame. I conclude an excellent allround bike for the money...

...The Evolve Series of Bottom Bracket from RaceFace Have an amazing Spec for the Price, There Retailing at Around £45 for something that is twice as strong as the competitors.

Plus a few other tricks to make it the strongest BB on the Market.
This makes it ideal for trials as the bash ring, when used pushes a lot of force onto the drive side arm of the bottom bracket, causing pits in bearings in most BB. Raceface have gone a step further though as the bearing have been bought in and disassembled and the grease replaced with there own mix that is said to increase the life up...

...Several years ago I bought a pair of Caldene heavy cord jodhpurs and it had finally come to the time to replace them.
As my local saddlery shop didn't stock Caldene and it was summer I purchased two pairs of lightweight Gorringe cord jodhpurs in different colours.
For a short while I was delighted as the Gorringe soft cord jodhpurs were much more comfortable in the summer heat than the Caldene heavyweight jodhpurs.
However, my delight didn't last long as the jodhpurs soon showed signs of sagging (and yes it was definitely the jodhpurs sagging and not my bum and legs!) and they lost their elasticity.
Shortly after worn patches developed around the bum and inside leg of the jodhpurs and it wasn't long before these worn patches developed into holes.
In short, the Gorringe lightweight cord jodhpurs are a nice pair of jodhpurs...
