I appreciate you are angry but you are blowing it up a bit too much. We dont know anything about when they will stop producing E8000 or how many they have, but Shimano are not in the business of not being able to satisfy warranty requirements, given it is a legal obligation and the people who...
Every other tooth on the chainring is wider, this is designed to help ensure the chain stays on the chainring. This is often why it looks like it has more wear (is the shop expereinced with modern MTB? doesnt sound like it, maybe try a different shop). Can see in the video the chain is sticking...
It can be an issue for some people. Loading the bike in vehicles, especially vans, when wheeling backwards the chain can end up trying to rip the mech off if it jumps a lot of gears.
My road bike has similar issue if its in the big ring at the front and big-ish at the back, the cross-chaining...
The derailleur guides the chain when pedalling forward, nothing guides it going backwards, so the chain will try to run straight and jump gears. This also happens when back pedalling, but ebikes (mid motor, most/all?) have a clutch on the crank so you cant back pedal or you may have noticed it...
I think they are asking too much with this opening season EWS-E.
6 stages (mostly short but with lots of transition riding) meaning 3 batteries per rider, probably 4, to ensure race day batteries are charged while doing some final practice. Less stages or transition (same as EWS) and more...
Yeah that looks right, reviews suggest a few people still have leak problems when unscrewing the red bit, crappy o-rings dont seem to be able to hold the pressure.
Ahh, they are a bit weird, has quite a few poor reviews explaining same issues as you. TBH im amazed they still make them like this, not seen one with this style pump head since 2001 i think :ROFLMAO: . See if you can get a Fox or Rockshox pump.
Are you using a proper shock pump?
A proper shock pump will have a seal before the threads, meaning the head of the pump is still sealed and holds air as you unscrew. As you unscrew the pin in the head no longer connects with the shock valve core meaning shock air chamber is now sealed but...
Totally different schedule and MASSIVELY different conditions.
EWS Stage 1 was supposed to be same as EWS-E Stage 6 (almost, EWS had shortened course due to weather)
EWS was 30 seconds slower even with shorter course but horrendous conditions on a physical track with slick mud and rocks, dont...
Worth noting the EWS have already reported case of covid and have had to implement 'bubble system' for teams. See how the weekend goes but future rounds might not happen either.

Vouilloz is racing, Flow only quoted the first page of racer entries in the opening post and explained who they were. There are 45 168 racers across both categories in total.

Dont think ive ever seen a rim fail at the valve hole. Plenty rip spokes out, plenty cracking around spoke holes, plenty cracking or folding at pinned joints, many just beaten to death. But never any failure at the valve hole, at least alu rims. There is so much tension at spoke holes the rim...
I think 3words has the advantage that while the words are random, hopefully you will also be talking to the person and giving other details so repeating back, explaining words, checking the words match the rough location etc. just like you would trying to relay co-ordinates.
You can get reducers that fit in the rim to accept presta tubes, dont think they work with tubeless valves due to the hole size, although may work with a valve/rimstrip like a stans one.
Never had a problem with Presta, i appreciate they are potentially more fragile but only if you pull and...
I know the guy in the current 3words advert (at least the one showing in the UK). He is an experienced outdoorsman (or whatever youd call it) and knows how to look after himself, still he ended up in a situation wherehe needed assistance and due to the weather used 3words to add detail to his...
I think the only danger from eMTB on climbs is to the rider. Most built climbs are not designed to be ridden at eMTB speed so you could hit corners too quick and lose control, this is also because many riders dont realise how fast they are going uphill as its so much easier, so you approach...
