Spanish version of "Bike Park" <- that's what the signboard to it says. It's in Segovia, if you fancy giving it a try...

Maybe we have different mud. My experience is that the mud fills up the rear triangle at the seat stay and then spills over onto the chainring, locking both the back wheel and the chainring.

So I see. Looks totally different to the arrangement on mine. The zip closes fully and the belt adjustment is totally different. Also, on mine, the velco'd flap at the back didn't fully cover the other zips and so the open end of the zip was always exposed. Seems to me that I may well have...

Just looking at that picture thinking what a brilliant place to put the belt tensioner. Then it occurred to me that it's in exactly the spot which, on my bike, fills up with mud until the back wheel jams. Maybe not such a clever place after all...

I think, from the address shown in your profile, you're in Granada Province. Not sure how it is over there, but every time we get something nicely bermed and smooth over on this side of Andalucía, someone drives the cattle, horses and goats up it. And as for what happens when it rains :eek...

Do the zippers on yours go right to the end of the opening? Or do they also have that strange downturn which stops them from closing completely? It was that "design feature" which really makes me wonder whether I got sent a fake (at full price!).

No, I'm not sure. It seemed to have all the right labels - without typos - and the bladder seemed to be genuine. However, fakes are "getting better" all the time. :mad:

I broke* the dropper post cable so had to take the lever off as part of the replacement exercise. I had no problem with this. I guess yours may have been crossthreaded on assembly. ☹ (* the cable seemed to have been neatly cut through at the lever as there was only one strand of wire left...

You've had more luck with this than I did @Mikerb I ordered the Repack following your appraisal above as it seemed like it solved the problems I had with my Rockshox belt which, although comfortable, just wasn't big enough for my tools and didn't have a bladder. Also, crazily, the Rockshox...

Good luck with your decision and purchase. ?‍♂️ Let me know what you decide and when it arrives :)

This ride gave me range anxiety. I didn't take a spare battery, just the 625Wh charged to 100% (which is unusual for me as I try to keep the battery charge to below 80% for improved lifespan). From the bottom of the first hill, the Bosch "range" estimate shown on the Purion display was varying...

Could well be better to wait and be happy, than have buyers remorse! ;) I had to wait 2 months longer than my wife for my Jam2 to arrive - and then Christmas shutdown got in the way and I had another 2 week wait! I was "lucky" in that the bike arrived just before shutdown here, else I'd still...

Mate of mine took delivery of his Thron2 a month ago for the same reason. He loves it as he prefers the slightly more upright riding position. Switching batteries with the Cube is a bit "interesting". First thing is that there are two types of Powertube: Horizontal or Vertical. The Focus range...

You just need the key. (And you'll find on here plenty of correspondence about how some Bosch locks are really sticky and need the application of lots of oil/ptfe to get them working properly). I charge my batteries off the bike (bikes are in a garage separate from my house) and so I insert the...

Here you are. Found the photo I took way back showing the two batteries side by side and using your option 1: https://www.emtbforums.com/community/threads/anyone-using-the-bosch-dual-battery-system.690/#post-191705

That's no problem at all. I have a Thron2 with the 500Wh battery and a Jam2 with the 625Wh battery and I use the batteries in rotation in the Jam2. (My missus rarely rides the Thron2 in the winter). The battery "packs" are the same length because the 500Wh battery has an extension piece added...

Ye gods! You must have legs like tree trunks! With the 32t chainring and the 10t sprocket, I'm pushing 40kph at 80rpm. If I'm going to be doing those sort of speeds for long, then I'm on the wrong type of bike. Of course, if you are like my mate who soft pedals in turbo everywhere at 40rpm...

I'd be quite happy with the Ricard - prefer it to Pernod... Reminds me of when I ordered "une bière" in my best schoolboy French sometime in the middle of last century, and was served a Byrrh... [Edit: now there's a thing! Thought I'd just go down memory lane and looked up Byrrh on wikipedia...

Biggest complaint I have with the Decathlon water bladders is the dreadful aftertaste. Seems to be worth paying that bit extra for a Camelbak or Deuter bladder.
