Well you will be using 2.4/2.5 or 2.6 tyres regardless of brand. If by forest trails you mean singletrack rather than fireroads/ gravel tracks, ....and given it is Scotland....grip will be a priority. At your weight I suspect you will need quite high pressures so I would go for tyres with good...

It has always seemed to me that the shock is far easier to set up than the fork. I have Fox x performance elite on both bikes and have previously used Fox x2 Factory and Fox DPS on previous bikes. All performed well. Essentially all they need to achieve is to keep the back wheel tracking the...

the development of their motor probably began quite some time ago so maybe before MGUs hit the scene. It may well be their next phase of development now that the motor element of that has been completed though.

I smoke a pipe so always have pipe cleaners handy! I also use them to clean pivot bearing spacers........everytime I clean the bike I use a stiff brush to clean those areas, the I drip some oil on each pivot bearing area and then use pipe cleaners to clean 360 degrees. Obviously the only part of...

Why on a new bike? 1. If the previous bike was a normal mtb and the new one an EMTB...............not realizing they are completely different beasts! 2. If both bikes ( old and new) were EMTBs .......not realizing there can be huge differences between bikes which means some adjustment is...

I agree the forces acting on a dropper by clamping it in a bike stand are completely different to those it is asked to withstand when riding regardless of the rider weight. Even clamping the bike using the top tube, if your bike design allows that is asking that tube to take forces in a...

I think you can suffer a repeat of the presta valve insert not working well once it has clogged despite cleaning it. i suspect the reason is that when the insert gets clogged with sealant, the place it sits in the valve stem can also have semi solidified sealant on it. I am usually carefull to...

I think more recent battery design also has cell layout construction that effectively isolates each cell to prevent thermal runaway. That presumably has an impact on battery size and weight.

Except as Speshs TCU showed putting sensitive electronics in an enclosed tube (ie top tube) is an environment subject to condensation and humidity. The LED Remote may be more prone to crash damage but not subjected to that sort of environment and is plug and play to replace. I prefer it!

yep..there is never a need to remove the caps...............unless of course you want to change their colour:p

ZF say it is an open system which I assume means the motor can be partnered by system components other than the ZF ones. It suggests the ZF overall system components were not really a priority for ZF.

Maybe the answer is for them to allow or even create specific trails such that access is restricted to those trails....which if good enough would negate any incentive for users to wander beyond them......in turn the entire area would not then need policing..... which is an expensive and hopeless...

The only real difference between the drive side and non drive side crank is that the drive side is likely to suffer more pedal kick so maybe the final position of the end cap is more critical when fitted?

Ah...didn't know you had changed them. Now given Hopes focus on colourways I wonder why they only fit black caps as standard. The same criteria applies however...cut your loses and accept the crank is probably damaged having come loose.

The bottom line is that a bike equipped with an electric motor is generically referred to as an Ebike, and could be anything from a "pedelec"/Class 1 EMTB to a 50mph+ Surron/motorbike! What happened in territories that essentially adopted the EU "Pedelec" regulations ( albeit with 2 or 3...

I understand you intention is to see if new bolts will solve your issue...and of course the caps would have to come off to do that. Meanwhile you have found that the removal tool to do that has failed and even resorting to hammer and chisel and heat the cap still refuses to move. Given the...

thankyou

I think for setting up any fork it helps to understand some basic principles. Firstly, if you are using a 38mm stancion fork it will have been designed by RS or Fox for Enduro type riding. It will also assume the majority of riders will be pretty active and probably about 80 to 90 kg. The...

I always run Maxxis EXO+ front and DD rear, usually in Max Terra. Summer its Assegai up front and DHR11 at the back. Winter its DHF on the front and Shortie on the back ( my mate has also used the Spesh Hillbillly as his winter rear tyre with good results). The main difference for us is that...

There is quite a bit of "tradition" in the cycling world both within the user base and the suppliers...not sure which is chicken and which is egg!! So we all know the outcry when ebikes were born!...cheats!! How long has it taken for the road bike fraternity to accept disc brakes in place of rim...
