    Alternative to eBay in the UK

    ebay offers seem to come along every 2 weeks for me (if you are on managed payments) with the next one expected this Friday and it's been 80% off the fees for a while now, so effectively 2% fees which isn't bad If you're willing to post ebay is going to reach the most people by far. pinkbike...

    Edit: Will Fox Float X2 shock fit a rise?

    whats on the rise as standard? difference between a DPX2 and an X2 is probably very small. it'll be better but will you be able to tell?

    Has the 2nd hand market bubble finally burst ?

    this^^ the extra bits you put on could well be worth 90% of what you paid for them depending on the condition, as a lot of components are in short supply. by contrast, the basic low end parts you removed in order to fit the above, are worth very little on their own, so best way to recoup your...

    Going Back to 10 speed set up on my Ebike.

    when I was shopping for an e-bike last year, I was telling myself that 12 speed was just un necessary and I'd convert to 8 speed with some mega tight ratio cassette because with the motor assist it'd still be easy... then in reality when i got the bike (shimano 12 speed 11-51), I often use my...

    Bike Security

    have you got the exact policy wording? when I got mine they started prattling on about having it locked to the floor when stored at home..... I was surprised and got them to re read it and it actually mentioned being behind a locked door OR locked to the floor with a secure lock when it's away...

    Has the 2nd hand market bubble finally burst ?

    there are a lot of variable to consider. I've seen some bikes that appear to be in showroom condition, and have odometer screenshots of 50 miles use, all the paperwork and not a scratch on the bike anywhere so people ask 90% of the selling price which seems fair if you exclude the lack of...

    Help to push the button!!

    If you can't afford both, simply sell the MTB now whilst demand is high and get an E-MTB if you still feel the need for a regular MTB, hire one for £60 a day, that one day will probably be enough

    Wild FS standard bars upsweep

    Had a quick go on my friends bike this weekend (M20 same as mine) and it has some high rise bars which I don't really want but I did notice they didn't have as much upsweep and it felt better holding the bars. felt like they were straight and neutral, where as the bars I have now are at an...

    How much assistance is 55Nm?

    Knock-Block failed - Trek Rail 9.8 carbon frame damage

    a friend crashed his bike today, same scenario the knock block failed and it's chipped the paint off the frame. its a bad design for sure, the fox 38 top cap is super sharp and angular, it just digs in to the plastic bumper and frame and chews it up causing massive damage. Mine has a smashpot...

    Battery fault help please ?

    sound advice about not poking about if you don't know what you are doing. the one solution I can think of is find the details of the cells and buy replacements and rebuild it, but that's not something for a noob to attempt, the amount you would have to spend on tools & test gear would just...

    Has your EMTB made you fitter, or kept you as fit, as your regular MTB?

    I'm not one that should be calling people out for their inabilities on a bike based on the fact that I'm no pro myself, but really if you can ride a trail like that on an MTB, I can't see a good reason why you shouldn't be able to ride it on an E-MTB

    When do you don your full face helmet?

    I wear my full face all the time(it's only a Bell Super3R) I am not one who gets hot and sweaty often (even when I used to ride non E-MTBs) so it just seems a no brainer, I think it fits my head better with the chin bar on and I don't have to ratchet the back strap up to stop it moving on my...

    Has your EMTB made you fitter, or kept you as fit, as your regular MTB?

    When I read it I thought that the flume trail was some gnarly steep descent like a world cup track and gave them the benefit of the doubt, but after googling it it seems not... "Q:How difficult is the Flume Trail? The Flume Trail Mountain Bike Ride is a moderately difficult one way 14 mile...
