The Tech Q&A is back, with Jack Luke, Tom Marvin and Simon Von Bromley fielding your questions. This time around, the trio cover:

  • Do MTBers wear padded shorts, and if so what kind?
  • Having recently crashed their gravel bike at a local trail centre, one rider is looking for a fun hardtail with a £2,000 budget – we recommend our three top picks
  • Can you fit bigger brake rotors to a converted e-bike to help with stopping power?
  • What to do if your mechanical shifting isn’t performing at its best
  • Smartwatches as an alternative to GPS bike computers – are they any good, what compromises might you have to make, and what brands we’d recommend.
