    Talk some sense into me (HT vs FS)!

    I agree. FS with the assistance of a motor does not tend to suffer the pedal bounce a regular FS does don't even consider my shock needs a lockout.

    Talk some sense into me (HT vs FS)!

    It's direct sales. I bought a thok mig, did consider it a risk having not tried one but its everything id hoped it would be and do love it. The st model it seems has a more relaxed geometry and a more casual spec. I'm 5'11" and a large fits well. 4 days live tracked dhl delivery from Italy. The...

    Answered Shimano E8000 hardwired lights

    I'd be happy to give it a go. Have a look on thingiverse you can post files there. The material shrinks a little and is prone to warping depending on how the file is designed to lay on the bed and pretuding parts etc... If it needs supports it will not be pretty it took me 3 prototypes to get...

    Thanks for the thought, I checked it out in the manual and it only mentions it being connected by two tabs on the motor.

    Answered Shimano E8000 hardwired lights

    Hi, I have made a light for my bike and printed a discreet bracket, it works really well, is aestheticly pleasing and for the £3.67 it cost is impressive. One consideration is that it's a usb 5v light, that is easy to overcome by putting a decent diode in line the voltage will drop enough to get...

    nice to meet you, ebikers

    Ive owned a Thok since Febuary and pleased to report the only thing I was disappointed about with it was the sticker that says "made in Taiwan"! I've always ridden mtb and motor-x growing up. Am curious what a 29" x 2.6 upfront would be like... But overall the bike is everything that I hoped it...

    Handguards?

    They do look simillar. Was thinking I might try to 3D print some but have not made somthing that complicated in tinkercad before and dont have the skills with other CAD apps. Got to be worth a try though?

    Should I drop the seat post

    I use mine on the fly, mid to low on the trails, it only takes a second in advance and still sit and pedal hard or rest on the smoother parts to combat fatigue if I'm giving it my all.

    Hi, That was a while ago but sure it will come natural to you. Don't trust myself on a road bike although considered a supermoto the ebike was the choice in the end. I have a young family so can't always get out as much as I'd like to guilt free but yeah I'd meet up for a ride when I can (think...

    Bike care. Anti corrosion/ water repellent.

    Just a heads up for anybody keen on maintenance... I really recommend this product my brother introduced me to called ACF-50. There is a light oil that is good for spot treating joints, nut heads bushings etc and a grease for assembly. It's anti corrosive and lasts for a longgggg time. Designed...

    Thanks Rob, Google says 37mins from me :) Only been there once a while ago on a conventional mtb and thought it was quite hilly but probably perfect for an ebike haha. Car park at the bottom of the park, can't remember how much it was.
