    Hi

    Looking good guys! No such thing as an old born again "electro" biker, rather just lots of young uneducated "manual" riders ?

    I’ve been told not to?! .......

    Get out there and ride it! Just be really careful putting it in the car, get some old blankets so it doesn't get damaged in the car. I put a coat of car wax on the frame which helps with light scratches or even a better of Mr Sheen on a duster to keep the frame super polished so the mud and...

    Hello from Liverpool - Looking for people to ride with (night riders!)

    Shit man, glad it ended ok. I went over the bars on my old XC bike riding along a river tow path and landed in a river. The only reason the bike didn't sink was the water bottle was fill of air ? Really scary though as I was in the middle of nowhere riding on my own. Survival mode kicks in...

    Evening all

    With eMTB, the "e" actually stands for Explore! You could always look on Strava or TrailForks etc to see where others ride and you can often find routes you never knew existed...

    Removing Gorilla tape residue from wheel rims

    If nothing get's it off, there is one thing I use that I've not seen mentioned (apologies if I missed it), and that's heat. If you heat up the residue with a hard dryer, you can then put sellotape on the hot residue and when you peel off the sellotape the glue should come of with it ?

    Help me build my shortlist..for my next bike

    Not aware of any bike that meets all your requirements, unless the Shimano G4 is as suggested a fishing rod and you don't need a motor, in which case I'm sure there is a non-eMTB out there that ticks all the other requirements ;)

    Overbiked on an eBike - is this a thing ?

    Having had 3 Giant Anthems before I moved to eMTB, I was really not wanting to jump from 100m travel XC to 150mm eMTB as I don't do downhill so why have the extra weight, slacker head angle and longer travel when I don't need it all. I was wrong, the motor cancels out the need to have the...
