Danger Dassie Posted June 12, 2009 Share Heh, funny thing... Family and mates in the UK love the Tread and wish they had something like it there.As for the 'quality' it's on par at the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad@TheRiot Posted June 16, 2009 Share  First copy (of Tread) was pretty good. Looking forward to the next!Brad@TheRiot2009-06-16 10:49:49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagwil Posted June 16, 2009 Share I have the first issue of Tread and while it is far better than any any of the other S.A. magazines it still does not compare with the U.K. magazines such as MBR, MBUK and What Mountain Bike. Hopefully it will get there.

AndreZA Posted June 17, 2009 Share Yesterday I picked up the June copy of MBUK. In the plastic sleeve was two bullet shaped valve caps with the mag name etched on it. They were in a printed blister pack and not just thrown in. Next month they are including a chain stay protector. Our mags really need to look at giving more the just nice pictures and 2 month old race reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly need/want branded, bullet-shaped valve caps? Most people I know remove valve caps of any kind at the first opportunity they get...    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what if you can get both. If you subscribe you get a gift that is about the same value as your subscription. In this case its a pair of baggies.
