    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    The title mostly. If it's one I don't know about, and if it has a picture of someone in clown clothes with their bike off the ground, I won't buy it.

    news, reviews, trails, pics, not many ads.

    Q - What types of biking magazines magazines do you read?
    A - Most of the MTB ones
    Q - how old are you?
    15-20 21-30 31-40 40+
    A - 40+
    Q - Are you male or female?
    A - Male
    Q - what attracts you to the front page of a biking magazine?
    A - Nothing! All that work which goes into the front page is wasted on me, I tend to flick through to tyhe contents page to see if there is anything of interest.

    Q - what would you like to be in the content of a bike magazine?
    A - Not sure if this is the dumbest question of the lot? Bike stuff, which is pretty much what is in all of them anyway. Reviews, letters, trails, kit/gear. One thing I do love is the odd challenge, similar to the Top Gear ones. I read a great article about roadie versus MTB in the Alps, there should be more of this stuff IMO.
