Based on what? From riding the two side by side, the Bosch is a decent bit more powerful and similar noise, maybe a bit quieter. I hadn’t really taken onboard how subtle the pivot is, until I sent the photo to a bunch of mates and they all asked why I was riding a non e-bike. Riding the...

Thieves are getting wise to this. When a mates bike got nicked, they stole the charger too

That sounds stolen. Assuming it even exists. If the guy asks you for a deposit, you know it doesn’t existt

Said ‘tracks’ so maybe more than just that loop? The invite only one looks pretty gnarly

It might have been broken, but asking around here shows Fazua have drag when pedalling with no assist. I’m not convinced it’s much more torquey than Specilized SL. Maybe a little but not as much as the marketing suggests. Didn’t notice any rattle from the Bosch motors (lightweight or full...

Decent day! Is that the ski lift that’s the size of the bus with a 20 min wait out of champery?

My zebs are more precise than my lyrics, there’s noticeably less torsional deflection on rocky stuff. Whether that’s a desirable characteristic is up to you. Get a cheap KSL1 and keep the Levo for the days when you tow the kids?

Suspect you might be the exception here not the rule. I regard 3000m as a decent day in the alps, let alone on an e-bike.

Not exactly their fault what the parent company of their parent company gets up to. The mtb world might be better if CRC hadn’t sold out to Wiggle and Wiggle hadn’t sold out to Signa Sports, but I can’t blame businesses owners wanting to cash out. It has driven a lot of people back to smaller...

Wiggle/CRC fell victim to the property market in Europe. https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/austrias-signa-launch-self-administrated-insolvency-proceedings-2023-11-29/ This sadly has ripple on negative effects for lots of local bike shops, as well as the positives.

How much drag is there on the pivot with the motor off? Does it feel like riding a normal bike? I loved the Shuttle SL when I demoed it, by far the best trial bike I’ve ridden, the frame just felt fantastic. I thought it was let down by the motor drag and the lack of AXS, considering the £11.5k...

Depends on the conditions. In the alps or Canada I can do a tyre in 2 weeks. At the Fod I’ll normally get 5 years. Tyre compound is also a factor. Maybe switch to something harder?

Make sure you use an etch primer on aluminium.

Some shops will look the other way on topping up. Talk to your local shop and see what they say. The issue with topping up is it makes the ownership complicated, because the bike isn’t owned by you until the scheme has finished and you pay the transfer fee. Also, c2w only really saves you...

Pretty sure being a dick is the point of forums?

It’d be fun to try as a mullet, last time I ride mine, was thinking I prefer a mullet now.

Hope/dt Swiss is good combo, but probably cost more than you paid for the bike. A take off wheel set from someone upgrading might be a cheaper option. They’re not mulleted at standard, is that something you’re planning?

What forks are you running? Do they feel chattery?
