That's what I think I've got 1x10 which to me is perfect why u need 12 cogs on an e bike is silly 10sp chain is bigger and stronger but u can buy a deore chain for £11.99 or e bike one for about £30 ill go deore ?
Hi all do we think e bike chains are really any stronger than normal chains and do u think we with motor and our legs generate more power than pros as they don't use anything special?
Hi tbh there isn't much I ordered the lighter negative spring for £15.00 it fits on the left leg where the air cap is thats where the volume spacers are and the travel spacer for 150mm standard it has one spacer remove it and u have 160 mm well more like 165 actually I'm going to try first then...
You could fit offset bushings would do the same or angle headset? But tbh all this geometry stuff longer lower slacker thing I'm not convinced really it def works for balls out racing but for normal people ie me and trail riding I think find a bike that fits u and u r comfortable on? Tbh I fo...
I agree I've fitted renthal 40mm rise bar upped my fork to 160mm and I've got the renthal stem on order as it rises 6degrees aswell I'm 6ft6 so seated my 170 drop post is along way out which makes the drop to the bars alot! Tbh there's lads in our group with full face, all padded up 10,000 bike...

I've looked at them cos I've had wild Rock and wild enduro before loved them but they look very aggressive side blocks not sure how they will be on hard pack stuff where we ride?
Hi all want your opinion my trance 3 came with dhf 2.6 front and rekon 2.6 rear while there OK there just dual comp so I'm thinking dhf to rear to give me some climbing and braking grip then buy a dhf 3c max terra for front or what are the rest of u using I'm interested in trying vittoria but...
Tbh I've never subscribed to the longer lower slacker thing I'm 6ft6 and I ride a 480mm reach it rides great to me I've tried nicolai geometron it's 555mm reach in xl and it felt huge also people complain about chainstays been to long the e trance has 470 but that works for someone of my size...
You lot have just answered my question I'm 6ft6 so wanted the front higher to help with decents and my back I'm about to order the renthals 40mm rise I've looked at others but I can get the renthals for £55.00 so bargain ? thanks lads
I agree with u bean for me it's about time away from the family out with the boys having a laugh and keeping moving but we do have a healthy little competition between us all on certain trails from time to time ?
Atleast I'm normalish lol well as said I'm only 41 still feel younger but I've got 4 kids from 5 months to 12 and I'm still finding time to get out (understanding wife ?) the ebike has made it so much easier in our group the question went about at what age do u stop going fast trail riding and...

Hi all I'm just having a little think do we think it's your mind or your body that makes u slow down I'm 41 4 young kids so I can't really push things but I think my skills are still improving on a bike but my brain says that's to fast slow down what do u lot think?
Tbh I'm just going off the spec sheet it said 30mm? Also alot of this mtb trends I don't always think it makes much differencei used to run 2.35 tyres on 20mm rims and we're fine I'm a decent trail rider but alot if the top end kit won't make much difference unless u r properly pushing on I'm 41...
