Re: Husqvarna recall 2017 off-road bikes over brake issue
well ktm used to ignore the design issues, writing them off to the wear and tear. so now at least they are recalling the bikes with issues. and it sounds like an actual engineering issue, which probably will not affect 99.99999% of users, more of their product liability insurance. there is a sense o...

Re: Fibre Glass Tent Poles snapping (Vango)
I take a good care of my camping equipment but mine Vango Tempest ali poles snapped after four years and not that many camping nights (2-3 weeks combined).
really disappointed, as the new replacement poles cost almost half the new tent price!

Re: Safe to ride with air in the ABS solenoid?
