    McLaren are going into E-bikes.

    What the actual Fark? That is the fuglyest thing i've ever seen. Who ever made the decision to take that live at McLaren should be fired. oh... suction cupping and ebike to a window,,, not that smart. That McLaren will really love mud and shit falling onto it. Solid business decisions right...

    Who's got the highest mile bike & motor?

    I will never win this metric. My trails are too steep, too slow, too muddy, winter is too wet and i will destroy or replace the bike/motor before i get to 10k Currently 2850km 10 months ride time.

    Family bike Van

    Practically that wont happen unless he buys a full sized bus or takes no extra luggage, or tows a trailer with the luggage or bikes in it. Families of 5 have a lot of suitcases and crap.....

    Family bike Van

    Here's my set up. 6 bike vertical rack, Crew cab ute with a canopy and a roof box. I can fit the family 5 and all their gear and a big arse canvas tent and camping gear and take a spare bike aswell. Good times. Oh yeah, Its real 4wd with low range and you can self shuttle into the mountains...

    Continental Argotal Enduro

    Hey bro's Anyone got time on Argotals? I'm coming into winter and looking for a rear tire for wet slipper roots and loam primarily. There will be a token amount of hardpack and rocks, But 90% will be loam and roots. I'm looking at 2.6 enduro wall soft compound. Don't want to go super soft...

    Pic of the Day

    Looks like a sweet playground. Yeah, Pin balling off tree's is never ideal. Looks like your mate needs a full face and some sort of shoulder armor for those sorts of antics.

    Do you go through a lot if rear tires?

    That is an awesome amount of vert m per week. I dont think there's a magic bullet to fix smashing tires to bits on rough terrain. I guess you are going to become an online discount tire slut and just bulk buy tires when on discount. I'm using big betty supergravity on the back soft compound...

    Do you go through a lot if rear tires?

    If you are a in a point sharp rock location you will terrorize tires regardless of if you are on an e-bike or not. I burnt a set of tires in one week in Tasmania doing shuttle runs on the mtb,

    Pole Bankrupt

    Yeah, I think $1.5m clears the immediate debt. You are right there will need more working capital to make a going concern again. By the sounds of things Finland aint the best place to do business. Moving it to a country with less restrictions and not frozen for half of the year would help...

    Any experienced spray painters?

    PS, Don't spray in the small box. Spray in an open area where you can easily walk around that is ventilated.

    Any experienced spray painters?

    It would have been useful to ask for advice before sanding it back to bare alloy. Now you just made it harder for yourself. I would have a suggested clean it up, skuff it back, but not to bare metal so you retained the the undercoat. then paint overtop of that. Spray can finish is only every...

    Do you go through a lot if rear tires?

    Yep. So do I!. The torque from the motor kills the sidewall too.

    Lots of Rough miles and Hands "aching"

    Go to a bike shop with your bike and physically place different bars on top of yours. and pick a different sweep. If you current bars are wider than you last bike then test with the grips and controls more inboard. The heckler looks to have higher stack too. Test moving the stem up and down on...
