Wheels off , now that might be a great idea ! I can pass on the male oriented magazine and use this publication to capture anyone regardless of age or sex. 😬
Now we’re really getting somewhere 😎
Ragnor , good questions. It has a trail to the peak but is hardly ever used and is pretty much abandoned though I haven’t been there for 6 years or so. Civilization is a good 5 hours away and the last 2-3 kms are Boldering to the Summit. I can ride up to the Bolder fields and that’s where I...
Sorry man you must be thinking of my brother, I graduated from Smogwarts in 33. Master Doogal Dorff was headmaster back then with Slapity Backity. I have been trying to find my way back there but traversing Mt. Jaspy with my ride is still in the works. Perhaps we could meet at Shitole ledge...
Haha I am not kidding ! It’s all about reaching the Summit that is impossible to do on a bike. There is so many totally isolated areas here that seeing anyone on a ride/hike is Very rare. There is a particular mt. that I have been wanting to Summit for a couple years now. The last 2 kms are...
Sometimes an E bike ride turns into a hike in areas that require spending a lot of time just getting there. Do you ever stash your bike because the terrain or climb is too much and you continue on to the summit by foot ? I dread the thought of doing such a thing but it crops up from time to...
Here we go again… over the bars !! What is the trick to riding snowmobile tracks without hitting the sides !? Every time I try to ride in any deep snow it’s a No go unless some sledder has gone before me. Following their tracks just kills me every time. Once my front wheel hits the edge of their...
For all you snow dogs who love the Pow , how deep n steep have you been able to accomplish ? With my current set up (27.5x3 wraths)any fresh powder deeper then 6cm and it’s a no go…
So then those of us who ride all winter in -15 to -20 c are slowly destroying our batteries ? Face it a piece of neoprene wrapped around a battery and frame aren’t going to cut it at those temps. 🥶
You are Absolutely right about the studs. I checked every single one of them with the insert tool before I rode. After contacting 45nrth they suggested doing that first since I had no dry pavement. After first ride I lost 35 xl studs. After replacing them the weather shifted enough for me to...
Under the right conditions (frozen top layer) this thing climbs like a goat ! With slush, pretty much forget it !! 😬
I love riding in the snow, it’s so smooth and quiet 😎
That’s a lot of coin to just scrap and part out. When you think if that was a car I doubt you would just ditch it. The Yamaha motor is as reliable as the rest , and maybe bester then others. Yamaha offers a three year warranty on their motor so instead of making sour grape excuses, why not make...
Thanks for the reply, I am currently running 27.5 x3 Studded Wrathchilds and 2.8’s in the Summer. That’s part of the issue, sorry to hijacker your thread. Your ride looks absolutely superb 👍 cheers 🍻
Congrats on the new ride Singletrackmind 👍
What stand is that your using in the pic’s? I’m having a heck of a time finding one that fits an ebike. Thanks!
Well it’s that time of year out here and I have been pondering fender removal for all the powder. Since it’s now consistently below freezing there’s no mud or wet snow. What do you guys find, fenders advantageous or even needed til Spring thaw ? ⛷
