    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    I already think that if they are as good as the Mezzers then they’ll be great 👍 Am thinking about acid-splash anodising the crowns though, obviously have too much time on my hands 🤣 Rich.

    Buying stuff from Euro suppliers

    I thought safety equipment was vat exempt?? I've bought a good few things from europe via ebay & direct, some purchases drop below the tax threshold and some have been missed 😜 ebay sometimes uses their 'global shipping policy' that sorts duties as part of the sale / postage price if the seller...

    Anyone riding the Manitou Mezzer Pro?

    the basic chassis is identical between Expert & Pro, the only actual differences are for wheelsize (swap lowers to jump from one to other) and I blieve the csu / stantions hold the difference for offset :unsure: as to internals interchangability, the iva & irt are a 'one-out / one-in'...
