    The DVD works out at just £15 so why pay more to join, as I said earlier today it was a great site, just glad I bought the DVD as I would n ot pay to view.

    why pay, i've always used sheldon, park tools and the instructions that came with the components. I've came across the bike tutor site before not bad and don't agree with the fee thing and they will probably loose alot of views imo.

    Anyway the alternative is youtube, tons of stuff on there!

    Mmm just removed the link for them from the tech links in the MTB workshop.

    the only thing that site was good for was the pilers way to split a sram power links.

    yep it's a shame, from a web site developers point of view, why did they do that? these days you can get web hosting unlimited with a domain name really cheap :roll:

    Yep I agree with you on that. The site will lose viewers. Mark yo the man is due something for his hard work but the prices seems to me to be a bit much.

    I won't be paying either.

    I'm sure he could try advertising or perhaps he will do it after getting subscribers.

    There are plenty of good videos in youtube.

    I'm glad I learnt all I did when he was not charging.

    As others said, there's plenty of other places to get free knowledge
