    Adding GoPro Telemetry to Videos

    Did you know some GoPro’s have GPS recording facility. The following GoPro’s do: HERO13 Black, HERO11 Black, HERO10 Black, HERO9, HERO8, HERO7 Black, HERO7 Silver, HERO6 Black, HERO5 Black, Max and Fusion But the best part if being able to add the GoPro Telemetry to your videos, e.g. Speed, Maps etc. How do you do this? It is fairly easy. The biggest issue is actually making sure your GoPro is recording GPS Data. So turn on your GoPro and wait for the GPS icon to go white:- Once GPS is on and connected, just record your epic videos as usual. Once saved open your GoPro Quik App on your mobile…

    2023: 24″ Full Suspension Bikes

    A round up of 2023 24″ full suspension mountain bikes. Mondraker/Marin/Propain/Scott all allow 26″ wheels which hopefully makes the bike last a couple more years as the child grows. Vpace and Cube bikes come with Manitou Fork/Shock and Magura brakes which is pretty epic. Nice to see Saracen + YT supplying their bikes with decent Maxxis tyres. Commencal currently isn’t available to order on their UK Specific website and with Euro conversion it is nearly £3k to buy new – ouch. Forme + Norco seem to have dropped their 24″ full susp bikes so I have removed them from the list. You can download full details of all the bikes…

    2021: 24″ Bikes

    24″ Bikes for 2021 Season I have collated as many 24 inch bikes as I can find for 2021 season (I also have the full suspension list). There is such a huge range of bikes that I have tried to simplify the information into the table below. There are bikes costing from £254 like the Dawes Zombie 24 to the crazy custom Trailcraft Pineridge 24 costing upwards of £2,500 ($3,499) with its SRAM 12x Eagle AXS Electronic Shifting and Carbon Wheels! The Belter 24 is another one to highlight, with it’s Shimano hub and belt drivetrain. Basically the gears are inside the hub so there is no external derailleur or…

    2021: 24″ Hardtail Air Bikes

    24″ Hardtail Air Bikes for 2021 Season Hardtail bikes are those with front suspension forks but no rear suspension. This list shows bikes that have air front suspension forks. Any bikes with front suspension forks over rigid add weight. However air suspension fork usual weigh a lot less than equivalent ones made with coil spring. Air suspension forks can also be adjusted to riders weight by adding or removing air out of the fork.

    2021: 24″ Hardtail Coil Bikes

    24″ Hardtail Coil Bikes for 2021 Season Hardtail bikes are those with front suspension forks but no rear suspension. This list shows bikes that have front suspension forks made with coil springs rather than the more expensive air suspension forks. Coils spring suspension forks usual add quite a bit of weight. A good example of this is the Scott Scale 24. The Rigid bike weighs 10.1kg but the exact same spec just with a coil front suspension fork is 12kg, so an extra 1.9kg.
