With chains removed, the cranks on an E8000 will move almost freely, while on bosch CX there is a very noticeable drag, although the cut off of the shimano feels more abrupt than the bosch. But this difference in drag should not justify the other rider flying past you, so it looks like his bike...

Sounds reasonable. If the frame fails at the headset you’ll probably not going to be in a hurry to get a new bike for a few monthes…

This looks much more like a crack on the surface layer of the carbon than the paint...

^^^ Having spare batteries is a must if you want to work out AND have fun on an emtb, (or a fast charger 😄). Using only one, its hard to get more than 1:30 hours riding. I miss the long 4+ hours I used to do with the naughtybikes.

All that has been said plus decent sized pedals...

I would not trust an epump as my backup trail tool. Would rather carry a bunch of co2 and have a small handpump as my ladt call. The electric pumps I have tried would only be good to be kept at the car park so I can have one or two beers while it inflates a 2.6 tyre to 34 psi 😴

I know that trackbuilders of the incoming Araxa UCI XCO WC race had the best intention when they put these vampire killer sticks on the track… I just get a little bit scared of the consequences.

This is how the magic happens…

In a recent video with Josh Bryceland and Chris Akkrig, josh fully submerges his motor

They are creating ebike categories to run together with XCO style races over here. Last november, I made a mistake and had my battery end before the last 4 kilometers, wich happened to be a 20% 3km climb where I had to walk uphill for half an hour, triggering a knee pain plus a golfer's elbow...

I see the trend for light ebikes as the answer for your question... Buy a good used full power ebike for $3.000 from someone who's paying 10.000 on an light E I ride a spectralon 150mm mixed wheel and cube 170mm 27,5 f/r and believe that both could satisfy you.

I keep switching front foot on the down hills so that when I hit a bump on a bend to either side its more natural to get some air and land safely. But, as a right hander, I often offer my left side in sacrifice whenever I hit the deck, so my left knee, ankle and elbow carry more scars and...

Have been doing it three times a week for the last five years, but still, its always a challenge to me.

You are right, my bike is 2022. Time is running fast these days… 😉

On the "up" list, bosch kiox is very easy to pair with any third party heart monitor, much easier than a garmin device. On the "down", though, its a very long list of things that bosch fails to provide, on a very personal note, for example, their apps are NOT even available on many countries, so...

I'm afraid this update only works on bosch systems that are 'smart', my 2023 cube stereo, for example, is not 'smart'.

First thing I thought of... look at those wires hanging from the wall behind the bikes, probably a damaged power cord that was being used there and short circuited. Besides, lots of flammables disposed all over the place. A very predictable disaster scene.

Measuring battery charge with the accuracy you desire is not possible, shimano gives a clue when they decide to use the five bar indication instead of a percentage. To know if a battery is not working properly it should be tested by dedicated precision workbench by a dealer. You may get...

Get well soon, mate. On my first bike trip to the USA, we arrived a little late at the North Star at Tahoe. That was after I picked up a brand new Santa Cruz nomad, so I resolved to give it a go... Three broken ribs, on the very first day of a two week long mountain biking trip that turned into...

I did that in 2019, rode the Lourdes DH track and then, across the pirenees into Spain rode the Fiscal trails. Had a guided tour with a british guy who had just movef from South Africa to Fiscal and was starting a hostel business there. This trip ended in Barcelon, where you can find endless mtb...
