    Another Tyre question

    I have 2.6” x 27.5” Minions on 40mm internal DT Swiss wheels and they are working well. Maxxis recommend 35mm but have a range 30-40mm for the 2.6 “ WT tyres.

    Bike Stand

    About 12mm as a guess. Don’t want to sound condescending but you have taken the plastic preload cap out?

    Bike Stand

    Pics as promised..... I had to beef up where the feet meet the stand as it kept bending with the extra weight of the eebs. One of the feet snapped off too so I welded it back on and added some extra to the other side. Thought I might need to extend the feet to go further under the bike but once...

    Ebike tire showdown. Michelin E wild vs Schwalbe Eddie Current

    @Tim29 maybe it is the close up photos which make the tyres seem particularly aggressive. I’m totally with you on actual damage vs perceived damage to trails. When I had 2.8” tyres on my emtb it was funny how many folk would walk up and say ‘look at the size of them tyres, Is that an...

    You are missing the coefficient of bollox from the right hand side of the graph.

    Almost done with pedals hitting things

    I like to run at least 185mm cranks on my chopper as it helps lift the bike over those pesky speed bumps without having to take a break from pedalling.

    And taking a punch on a boozy Friday night is so attuned to emtb control than MX how?? What’s happened to all the diagrams, pictures and old war stories??? I was expecting at least a good dollop of trigonometry....... ‘Heed, drawings, NOOOOW!’

    Almost done with pedals hitting things

    Yeah it really causes the MX guys an issue having their feet close together fore/aft. You sound like the kind of guy who has been on the receiving end of their fair share of punches so I’ll bow down to tour no doubt extensive experience on that front. However, when riding a bike consider you...

    Almost done with pedals hitting things

    Generally when you are riding downhill you freewheel and your cranks/pedals are level (there are exceptions, berms etc). So there should be virtually no difference in this regard.

    Coil Shock for Focus JAM2 (Gen1 - Shimano)

    Have you added any volume tokens? I put in 2 of a possible 3 to get it how I wanted. A lot cheaper than a new shock.

    Powerbank for ebike ?

    Dunno, I think there a couple of companies doing them. There is a long thread somewhere if you do a search.
