    Shin Guard Recommendations

    I've been using these ONeal ones for two years - work perfectly and mean I can choose whether to wear knee pads or not. https://www.bikester.co.uk/oneal-straight-shin-guards-M779516.html

    Urge to buy a non ebike !!! Am I crazy anyone still regularly use a non ebike

    I still use my analogue bike (Orbea Occam) for any parks where we can get an uplift. It’s a different riding experience to my Giant Reign E+. I love them both equally.

    Gorilla Brake Pads for emtb brakes

    Given that finding Shimano N03A pads which are in stock anywhere is nigh on impossible I'm looking instead at buying these: SHIMANO XTR M9120 4-Piston brake pads (gorillabrakes.com) Youtube just seems to have some people trying them on their road bikes, and they seem to do well, but what about...

    Awesome pic - how did the battery cope with the temp? Did you see much difference?

    Reign E+ 2022

    I had this issue, I also felt the ridecontrol ergo 3 was too far tilted away from my thumb making pressing the power up button slightly awkward. I ended up loosing the ridecontrol and tilting it a bit toward me. This mean I could then slide the brake lever clamp into the recess. See the attached...

    Do people dislike turbo Levo owners

    I'll happily fist bump any other mtb'er out there. I don't care what they're riding - although I would like to meet someone riding the Ducati just so I could have a good mooch at it

    Reign E+ 2022

    I have a size L and the 590ml bottle and it doesn't fit because the X2 negative chamber hits the bottom of the bottle under shock compression. Your bottle looks smaller than my 590ml - it looks like the 450ml

    Levo Gen 2 Fox 38 and X2 2021 Compression Ratios?

    +1 I'd really like to know this as well.

    Reign E+ 2022

    Yeah, definitely a +2. That's a DPX2 shock, which is the same shock I have on my non-E Orbea Occam M10 and it's an outstanding shock. Picking up my +1 tomorrow - WHOOP 🥳

    Giant Reign E+ 1 First Look (Video)

    Just ordered the E +1 yesterday (no idea when it will arrive). Finding that I'm getting too knackered pushing up my Orbea Occam at bike parks, and riding up muddy slopes. I almost went for the Trek Rail 7, but to get the Mullet configuration I wanted meant plumping for the 9.8 and its new frame...
