What is the go with this 2nd lockdown here in Melbourne ?
Are we allowed to drive to mtb trails ? (Within lockdown area)
I have not been to Red Hill for months, what is it like xown there ?
The Vaude over shoes seems to be the best solution so far.
But anyone here has tried motorcycle boots ?
I am thinking ADV waterproof or maybe light moto trials?
I like the idea of extra ankle protection after seeing the photo of the broken ankle posted in the other thread...
Riding flats on the ebike and clips on the xc bike.
When trying technical climbs that i will bail off, flats give me less worries that I will stay clipped in.
I still crashed and stayed clipped in on my xc bike too many times, elbows hurt.
I have never seen those before, but I am keen to try them out.
Similar concept to Endura flat pedal over shoe that I was considering, but those ones looks proper...
Any more photos of them on your rides ?
Also which pants do you use with them ?
I still have my 2012 Sherco 300, which gets ridden twice a year!
For me, it is the convenience of mtb, you drive closer to home without a trailer, you put your gear on in 2min, you ride 3h, go home, wash the bike with a garden hose and Mucoff in 10min, shower and finished before lunch. Wife...
I am disappointed with the range of my 500wh battery also. Already ran out on 2 rides after 2h. I am told I need to ride in Eco most of the time, but the bike feels heavy in Eco, not fun.
I can't wait for the new Shimano battery, hopefully 700wh+
Derby is ideal for ebike. No so much Maydena, did like not that park, very steep gravity trails and you have to take a shuttle.
Between Derby, Blue Tier and St Helen, plenty to ride on the ebike
2.35 tyres looks small of that XL Commencal. Needs 2.6 for sure.
Interesting, I just ordered some new 2.6 Eddy Current today and will mount them tubeless with a Huck Norris inserts.
I agree that the cables are too long, will need to add that to my list.
Crank boots: what sort ?
The Lev...
That Yamaha ebike looks awful color wise...
If Yamaha makes a decent looking ebike that perform half decent, they will sell heaps to middle aged man that used to ride Yamaha in the 90'
I nearly bought a Husqvarna ebike for that reason
Interesting info here. I wanted to try them next, but they don't do 29 [emoji848] only 27.5 and 26 on their website.
Is there any 26'' ebike ?[emoji848]
I consider myself a mountain biker nowadays, love XC, enduro and ebike.
I am not worried about ignorant people hating ebike, but more the die hard mtbiker hating ebike.
My dirtbike friends get ebike, they think it is great but some MTB friends disregard ebike and that's new to me. Also, with...
I think that it is great news ! The FIM attempt was bad, the WEC series had low numbers.
EWS will help with the acceptance of ebike, it will probably be in their video coverage. I am expecting a lot of hate from hardcore endure racer (check Pinkbike, VitalMX and Facebook comments of this...
