    Anyone fancy a bit of coaching?

    The forum does have an in-house coach who runs regular training sessions. Maybe @Mission MTB could organise something......

    Battery Health

    Have you guys tried running you batteries from completely full to completely empty two or three times so the BMS can recalibrate? If you are just running partial charges they can soon get out of whack. You will not hurt the battery doing this as the commercial BMS’s are usually set pretty...

    Person killed in London by EMTB

    It’s all just another media distraction technique. Draw attention to something minority & new to take away attention from moped muggings, acid attacks & stabbings. You know, real issues. I mean come on, more people die each day being distracted using mobile phones either driving or walking...

    Person killed in London by EMTB

    Looks a bit like the original Specialized Turbo S. And no, I don’t believe they were restricted, 500/700W hub motor. Sorry for the lass and a shame for the rider if she did step out.

    Hi everyone, want to introduce my self and need some help.

    As said above check all the linkage bolts are the correct torque as marked on the bolts. I have had a constant battle with the headset bearing creaking since I got the bike. New grease & tightening normally sorts it out.

    Hello from Hull, UK.

    Sounds like you need to get together with missionmountainbiking as he lives not too far away and has a Kenevo. There should be just a single bolt/axle on the rear either Allen head or an arm like the front wheel. If you have a SRAM rear mech you can push the lower part of the mech forward and...

    Rockshox Monarch RT setup questions

    Not sure if you are done with this and are sending your shock off but one last suggestion.... Put a volume reducing band in the negative side chamber. The negative chamber is there to help the shock to ‘break away’ and start moving. This is great for light riders but not so good for heavy. The...

    Hello

    The piggy back is handy. To be honest I have only used mine twice as the majority of sessions can be done on the inbuilt battery. The handiest part of the TEC pack is the quick release bottle rack. I have an emergency tube fastened on and a pump holder. Stick it on when you cannot be bothered...

    Anyone with a Focus Sam2?

    Maybe get to hook up for a ride sometime, I work on a 2 week rotation at Tilbury and have been out and about at Hadleigh but tend to prefer Danbury Common on a Sunday Afternoon.

    Hello

    Ey-up, The good advice from above is to demo as many bikes and drive systems as possible before making a decision. If you ride mtb already have a look at the ones which have a rear suspension similar to bikes you have enjoyed riding. The Focus bikes will appeal if you are already a keen rider...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    My reply was to Tim29 who indicated he has smashed 4 rims. I appreciate I quoted Tim who had quoted you so it may have looked like I was replying to you however it wasn’t the case. [emoji1360] The cheaper inserts such as Huck Norris and their clones are only any good as rim protectors & snake...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Have you considered inserts, Cushcore or similar? As well as the direct foam protection for your rims they also ‘ramp’ up the pressure in the tyre under deflection similar to tokens in a fork. You would probably get away with using a little less pressure for some added grip. Another benefit is...

    Review Crank Brothers Joplin Dropper Remote

    Can you get the remote on it’s own? I have never really been happy with the DVO dropper I put on my bike to replace the standard one. Ideally I’d like to install a OneUp components dropper but that is set up like the one you described with the clamp at the lever end.

    That’s cool. Yeah I should have had credit for the returned XXL. Let me know about postage for the xxxl.

    Hi Rob, Do I need to order a XXXL long sleeve or have you put one aside for me? No XXXL tech T’s? Cheers, Richie

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Only benefit I found with a DHR on the front was improved braking grip, the DHF generally feels a better directional tyre to me. Life would be boring if we all thought the same though[emoji1360]

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Give the 2.5 DHF a go, it works a treat on dry hardback & dust. Keep the MM for the wetter conditions where some find the DHR better than a DHF.

    Cadence vs Assist

    I think with torque sensing motors you get better efficiencies at higher cadence as you cannot spin fast and apply high torque at the same time. Grinding hard at lower cadence seems to really eat up the watts.

    Cadence vs Assist

    It depends on the motor you have. Bosch & Brose like high cadence, Yamaha lower & Shimano somewhere in between. My experience with Shimano is is the more you spin the more efficient it is.
