yeah @JabberingJimbo the nights are drawing in!

English summer rain, seems to last for ages.

cheating means breaking rules one has agreed to. since there are no rules to riding for fun, there can't be any cheating.

@rsilvers sure you need a 700Wh battery? what are your rides like, are you a big guy, and how hard do you like to work on your bike? range anxiety is in the head. out in the Utah desert, Scottish wilderness etc? if it's that critical, probably need to carry a spare battery anyway. out having...

I hope you tagged that ride as an e-bike ride. A lot of people take Strava very, very, very seriously.

Used to its full potential (I don't mean taking it easy riding along with your clockwork mates, tho that's perfectly legitimate too), emtb is a different game with different parameters. The old paradigms don't fit any more. I find it hard to imagine I'd ever buy a 180mm bike, however only 3...

I found myself understeering a bit on my Levo at first, I think that's because it's a better fit than my Following so I'm getting over the bars sooner and with more weight. I soon adjusted.

lots of e.

sounds about right Rob - I get a bit more but I'm 15kg lighter. weight and effort make a big difference. I'm pretty happy with the 500Wh battery, don't see the need to drop a grand on the 700Wh. you're right re the tyres. I put a Hillbilly on the front but I'm going to move it to the rear and...

like mountain biking, but more fun.

if you want paid guiding, my mates do this (have helped them out on occasion). one of them has an e-. http://www.flowtastic.bike to get the most trails out of your time, that's the way. for free you can join the Saturday ride that starts at Westcott Green 0945. clockworks bikes but you won't...

I am NOT watching that.

lol. I tried to turn on my Levo once while already riding up the road it was not happy about it.

There's riding straight out the door, you won't need your car.

I don't see saddle position as a variable. Set what's right for your legs and the pedals and it's done. You can't change your leg shape.

heavy rain all day in Dorking.

yes, absolutely, (about what?)

some brutal climbs down your way, I wager you're climbing faster, relative to your bio powered self at the same effort, than you realise. the true test is to go ride with your usual buddies on their bio bikes.

yeah this is one of the benefits, go sniffing around in new directions without trashing your whole ride.

best thread title yet. I got 900 metres (3000 feet) 50km on 85% of 500Wh recently (if you log your rides in Mission Control the report actually gives you a figure for Wh/used). Surrey Hills. What eco support level are you using? I found 10% put me just a little faster than my benchmark...
