Unfortunately while our populations keep growing our leisure areas are decreasing, becoming smaller, and more congested. More congestion of our numbers in general has led to less tolerance. I think it will only get worse unless we can control our numbers (population). There is greater...
A bike that looks really interesting to me is the marin alpine trail e2. It just looks a bit long (wb) for tighter stuff. Very slack ha, very steep sta, long reach but those who have it say it isn't a big bike to ride (some have gone larger). Only one dealer here in Aus (bicycles online) and...
I might have met your group once, by the reservoir (big water tank) on top of Pilcher's hill. I was walking with my dog - everyone was making fun of him 😂. I ride with him now mostly around Geilston creek, Pilcher's hill, Shag bay.
So you ride with lights? I just bought a magicshine mj906s -...
St Helens tracks look like the perfect winter tracks - unaffected by water. Lucky you :). It would be my choice to live there - Derby through the drier months, local tracks through the wet months; lots of light through Winter. Everything you need without being too busy.
Oh, that's a shit quiz 😂. There isn't one answer in all the questions that I can relate to. What's with all the cake? Who rides in the rain? I think I'm supposed to be interested in the accordion :rolleyes:
I don't think so. Prices will increase because that is what happens over time. We're paying substantially more now simply because of covid. Demand for bikes and ebikes went through the roof. This coupled with supply chain issues, the huge cost of fuel (putin's war) and a general industrial slow...
Geez, awesome riding and great tracks! I can see strengths and weaknesses for both bikes there, just based on geo and wheels (mullet vs 29").
The merida looks better to me all the time. I have an e140 which is even more for the tight stuff because of different geometry. It's hard to beat the...
Geez, that's a huge increase! I'm kind of in the same predicament - I'm 180cm and usually go a large. 460 - 470 reach depending on the seat tube angle of course. Some large sizes are just too long, but then the mediums end up with low stack height and therefore handlebars way below seat height -...
I think I know a better bike after looking at the heckler geo, but it's aluminium which I believe is easier to live with too (my preference). The marin alpine trail e2. Shorter chainstay and wheelbase, slacker hta, steeper sta. I've been looking at it myself; it's a bit too long for me re the...
Well, that depends on what you want out of your e bike. I've only tried boost for the fun of it. If I ride alone I'm rarely out of eco - it's enough to get me up the technical climbs here; climbs that I could never do pre emtb. I ride in trail mode if I'm with a friend. I don't understand your...
The shock, yes, but it's steep here and technical climbs which I like as much as the descents. I've never understood fork lockout - whether climbing or descending you want the front wheel to roll over stuff
Well yes. I was the one to first post that video link; the first link to Sam's - well we just don't know his motives (who's paying him?). There are many variables, of course; they do say as much in the link I posted. Go to 14 mins 22 secs and judge for yourself - there does seem to be a clear...
You answered that question yourself. I generally do small daily rides at about 25% of a 504wh battery. I have the option of doing longer rides, and do use it especially when riding with others. The same could be said for the majority of cars, motorcycles - most of them do short trips, but have...
I've been pondering this; I think you may have gone off in the wrong direction based on this statement. My question is; "what is the ideal number of partial charge cycles to a full charge cycle?" That would be good to know - at present I'm working on every 5th cycle, but it isn't based on data...
