    Covid 19 worries !

    The confirmed infection-to-death ratio was at 3% the other day, out of the hundreds of people you probably know most will have had flu, mumps, measles etc. in their life and not had that level of risk of death. Certainly the spread is considerably less currently and the ability now to identify...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    I know one person for who cushcore in addition to dh casing was the final solution to rim smashing and tubeless burping issues on his enduro bike, he had tried everything else and was just churning through rims from either straight hits or losing pressure and then smashing rims (riding how he...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Cushcore is much more than a piece of foam, certainly more so than other options like Nukeproof ARD as one example. The shape is designed to provide ride support in addition to puncture protection. If you have time there is a great podcast interview with the designer here.... Suspension, the...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    While the basic principle is correct, i think your missing the pertinent point of his post. A Minion SS is a semi slick, so run it at lower pressure and you get significant drag of the outer tread blocks on the ground. Also the the less-pressure = less rolling resistance is a generic rule...

    Hope tech 3 or magura mt 7

    Sintered for wet, organic for dry. Sintered work better in the wet but do also cope with heat better, they also generate more normally, and even more in the dry as they are not as good as organic so get worked harder by the rider (relative to organic). You can push organic too far in the dry...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Im a big fan of procore on a DH bike and my enduro bike, let you keep the tyre pressures normal when it gets so rough youd want to put them up. They dont let you drop pressures generally though, as they dont support the sidewall in normal riding like Cushcore, but they do take a lot of the big...

    Emtb storage

    You can generally get them much cheaper than that, for example... Jobsworth Steel Wall Mounted Bike Hanger (Folding Hook) while I avoid PX if at all possible these days, you cant really go wrong with a cheap bit of metal. Not sure how much the floating hook moves on this type, i know even a...

    EMTB racing thread

    Running a race with derestricted bikes is a bit sketchy, we already had a pretty high profile case in the UK where a promoter and marshal were at risk of jail time for failing to safely manage spectators. Cant imagine allowing illegal 'vehicles' to use the forest would go down well, and if they...

    EMTB racing thread

    1 technical uphill only stage, rest of the stages can include as much technical uphill as downhill (opposed to max 10% of uphill per stage rule of normal EWS). Liason times are also intended to be tight so id guess those will be cut from standard EWS. 4 hrs of riding and 3000m climbing per day.

    But that would leave the bike illegal in every other race in 'the world', given they have to ride the bike on public roads and trails between the closed stages. Im sure the US will set up their own 'world series' where they dont include any other participants :ROFLMAO:

    What work/wash stand for ebikes?

    So i normally use an Andystand on my normal mtb as a handy support when washing and faffing with basic maintenance. But it wont fit my ebike bb axle, so wondering if anyone has examples of what they use? Those chain/seat stay stands roadies use look way too feeble to support an mtb nevermind...

    e-Escarpe/Sommet XL seat post max insertion?

    Hi all, Im looking at the e-Escarpe and wondering how much seat post it can handle, im all arms and torso so want an XL, but that means i generally need to slam dropper posts to fit in a decent amount of drop. My XL Scott Genius is the same seat tube length as the XL e-Escarpe/Sommet, with a...
