Half road half old railway line. Yes they sound like an old land rover, not much chance of creeping up on a pedestrian
Are these stands any good https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/abba-Bic...9?pageci=9c27648e-9afa-4fd0-9dfb-df7136f4f835
No idea but they look good, other than the kneeling down to work on it, at my age getting up and down is a task best not repeated too often. I use the traditional stands similar to this at least you're standing. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bikehut-...noa=1&pg=2047675&_trksid=p2047675.c100623.m-1
Did the off road coast to coast years ago and stayed at a hotel in Alston where I had six pints of Guinness and a full English the following morning. The breakfast reappeared along the cart track on the climb out of Nenthead.
Finally got a shock pump and set the suspension up for me. Pressure was way off. Just need the trails to open again, getting bored road riding on a bike that's not built for the road
