    Knee and Elbow pads - help!

    You can look on the internet like I did and procrastinate for hours or just order a few pairs of what you like the look of, keep what fits and send the rest back. What fits and is comfortable for one person might not be any good for you. For what it’s worth I settled with Ion K-Pact zip knee...

    Worth upgrading - OEM fox 36 rhythm to a Fox 36 factory float

    I just did, very interesting but the relevance eludes me 🤔 “A snipe is any of about 26 wading bird species in three genera in the family Scolopacidae. They are characterized by a very long, slender bill, eyes placed high on the head, and cryptic/camouflaging plumage.Wikipedia Mass: Common...

    Pressure Washer ... is 25 bar too high?

    There’s no way I’d use a pressure washer on an ebike. I’m really dubious using just the garden hose and our water pressure is useless.

    Little portable generators

    My dream is to drive a Tesla through the London low emission zone towing a diesel generator which is charging the battery 😆

    Little portable generators

    Ebikes charged by petrol, I love it! Please tweet Greta Thunberg a video of it charging 🤣

    Article Is the Shimano EP8 a bad motor?

    When I was researching what bike to buy last year many of the bikes I was interested in had the EP8 motor in, after reading about the issues with reliability and dealing with warranty claims they were all crossed off my list. If things improve then maybe I’ll reconsider in a couple of years...

    Thule EasyFold XT arm clamp position

    I have the same rack and bike (e160s but obviously the same frame), it took a bit of working out but the small clamp fits very securely just above the motor. I couldn’t find anywhere else it would fit, my wife’s bike is in the way but you can clearly see my bike behind and how it is held.

    Where are you riding this weekend?

    Had a great couple of days riding, it felt like summer, I saw how good the weather was going to be so took a long weekend off work! The Black Mountains on Thursday… …and Dartmoor on Friday.

    Choice of 3 E Bikes….

    I’ve got the Whyte and it’s a great bike, I love it. However if you have to remove the battery to charge it then I’d think twice because it really is a PITA. Luckily I don’t need to remove it because I can charge it where it is stored, I just thought I’d have a go one time and I never will...

    Levo Gen 3 Ditched my LBS because they didn’t participate in Specialized Delivery

    I’m ok with a 10% deposit which I paid last year for my bike and this year for my wife’s bike. I wouldn’t feel happy putting down any more than that especially if I had to wait months with no guaranteed delivery date.

    Kenevo SL What's everyone's plans for summer?

    North Wales has got so many good crags to climb. I think you need to live there to scratch the surface on the climbing tho because being lucky with the weather when you book a holiday in advance is a bit of a gamble. The riding looks fantastic as well so yeah I think the ebikes will be going...

    Kenevo SL What's everyone's plans for summer?

    A weeks rock climbing in North Wales in May (might take the bike because no doubt it will rain!). A weeks mountain biking in mid Wales in July. A few days in Scotland on the motorbike in August. That’s what I’ve planned so far, can’t be bothered with going abroad at the moment but got bigger...

    Sad nerdy Saturday night thought...

    Nope, no interest in that whatsoever. Exercising has to be fun for me, I find exercising for the sake of it mind numbing. I’d rather peddle a normal bike outside and pay to charge the emtb battery.

    E bike at bike park wales. Yes or no

    BPW is great in the ebike. I find it more tiring riding down than peddling back up, except the steep C5 climb. I did that once and never again, it’s easier to go the long way round and doesn’t take long anyway. I’m also done before the battery runs out and it’s cheaper than the uplift so it’s...

    H series delayed until late April in UK

    I got my bike from Monster last year, good communications and a pleasure to deal with. My wife ordered her new bike through them (hopefully coming in June) even tho they’re 3 hours from us.

    Share your annual service costs

    I think it’s best not to keep track of these things, it only upsets you. I once started to add up how much it costs to own my Ducati per month, I stopped half way through because it was getting a bit depressing. At least with the ebike I can ride it all year around, unlike the motorbike which...

    Bottle cage options!

    Wowsers, I think I’d rather drink from a puddle if I’m being brutally honest! 🤭

    Temperature Considerations

    The ground condition’s also play a big part, there’s a lot more resistance peddling through the thick mud as well as the cold effecting the battery. I done a ride last weekend which I have done before and my battery was flashing to say it’s almost dead as I arrived at the house. I remember...
