New cycling mag

[Smurfy]

I haven't bought a cycling mag for about three years now. Everything you need to know is on the net and first hand customer product reviews are far more useful than journalists road tests, bearing in mind the manufacturer is often shelling out a small fortune in advertising revenue to the mag in question.

Probably the reason the cycling press never investigate the avalanche of complaints about a certain well known retailer.

For a home mechanic such as I, the amount of info on the net has certainly rendered the monthly how-to articles rather redundant.

Who's this well known retailer?

Google Dave Hinde.

Google Dave Hinde.

I tried that, and when I'd typed 'Dave Hinde' into my Google search box, Google helpfully suggested 'Dave Hinde Trading Standards' as a search!

Does anyone know how much a cycling magazine would have to cost to do away with the adverts?

Boneshaker doesn't have adverts and costs about a fiver.
