I've run various sets of WILD (non E) Enduro F&R over the last 4 years. It's been my default tyre, and is generally a good all rounder. This is the first winter I've tried something else (Specialized Cannibal's) and I'm glad I've made the change for the wet / mud as the softer compound is...

Thanks guys... seems a bit more complicated than I was expecting. Looking at the Spesh website, and then the Formula website - it looks like I'm lacking some info... that I probably won't get until I have the bike! Might be worth asking the LBS if they can get this info for me... so that I can...

This isn't specifically an eMTB question, but hopefully someone can help? My daughter will be 9 in about 6 weeks. She's currently on a 20" Specialized Hotrock 20", which she had outgrown at the end last year. She's a "girly" girl, and loves pink / purple / turquoise etc... and all her bikes...

Here's my 2024 Levo SL. I love the way it handles like my Stumpjumper, but gives me a bit of a shove up the hills. I also love how it sucked my wallet dry! Looking forward to Spring / Summer where the daylight lasts longer and the weekends are drier / warmer (and maybe even sunny) - so I can...

As a gadget lover, I purchased a Garmin Edge 840 Solar when it came out to replace my Edge 830. The 'solar' version cost a bit more than the standard 840, but I thought it sounded like a pretty cool feature. When I finish my 2 hour ride, it tells me how much battery time it's gained from the...

I got the Park Tool THH Hex set for Christmas and think they're awesome. Someone on here made me aware that there's a torx set too (THT). I considered ordering it, but then thought that £130 was a bit steep for the torx set considering I only really use the T25 (on Magura brakes). I...

That actually wouldn’t bother me! I got an eMTB for assistance going up the hills… and on a Levo SL I doubt I’m anywhere near 12mph going up 😂

I got the frame only from my LBS (Levo SL 1.2) back in May. I was desperate to get it for the weekend so I could spend Sunday building it. They told me they hadn't had time to update it, so I'd have to take it back later. I took it away and built it - and when switched on it displayed a turtle...

I see some of them (Suron and things that look like mopeds) but the ones I see are mostly 20 year old mountain bikes with some sort of "kit" where the battery is in a giant triangle frame bag. Mainly food delivery people... flying along the cycle lanes at 30mph+ (whilst not pedalling!).

2 things... 1. The UK is NOT in the EU. 2. Half the idiots on the roads on eBikes are travelling on the pretence that they are pedalling, but are actually running on throttle power.

I wish there was a weight published somewhere for these? They look sweet, and I'd quite like to drop from 170 to 165... but I'd like to know the weight v's the SRAM carbon ones that came as stock.

Mine is a 17kg Levo SL, and with the right tyre (not the Cannibals I have on just now) is quite easy to maintain 20mph+ on a flat bit of road. I imagine something like the Creo (road bike version of the SL) with thin tyres and aerodynamic riding position would be a breeze. I have a few trails...

I'll put myself in the 'No' camp too. I'm quite happy with 15.5mph on my bike. I can pedal it faster than that on the road on my way to the trails, and mainly use the assistance for climbing hills / trails - where I'm going a lot less than 15mph. I try to stay off the roads where possible...

Another 30 mins today, and it’s all clear. Sure, I could have probably done the whole thing in 20 mins with a chainsaw… but there’s a bit of satisfaction about doing it bit by bit! On my way home, I came across another tree that had fallen across the path. A thin tall one - maybe 6” thick in...

Your wife must be much more sympathetic than mine. Mine wonders why on earth I’m cutting down a random tree in the woods that are no where near my house! 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hard going when the tree is thicker than the saw… but I persevered! After about 35mins I had chopped up the smaller bit on the ground, and then cut through the large trunk. Tomorrow’s job will be to cut the remaining bit on the ground, then drag it out of the way. Not pretty, but at least...

I don't have anything to compare it to - other than my Stanley wood saw from B&Q. Compared to that, it was night and day. Lightweight, and takes up relatively no space in my Osprey Siskin 8 (pretty small) backpack. I'd be quite happy to leave it in there all the time along with my regular...

After the recommendations of a Silky, I ordered one from Japan on New Years day. It took almost 4 weeks to arrive, but cost me £25 + £12 postage... and the price in the UK is about £95. An impressive looking 'weapon' when you ping it open! First time out on my bike since the 7th this weekend...

Northwave do a good selection of winter boots for clipless pedals. They all look horrible, but the ones I used to have when clipless were great. Boa’s to close them up, and furry inside!
