    2021 Marin Alpine Trail EMTB released

    I don't think a lower BB has so much advantage for handling and stability on an emtb as the centre of gravity is so much lower and exaggerated than an acoustic anyway... stability is already there imo. Pro's outweigh the cons for me and I'd rather have the bit of extra clearance... even though...

    bosch gen 4 rattle, reply from bosch

    I don't notice any rattle on my wife's 2020 Moustache Trail. Ally frame and Moustache have been making emtb with Bosch motors for 10 years so I expect they are pretty savvy with frame integration. Only got a few 100 miles on it so far tho. I had a bit of rattle on an older Yamaha (Haibike...

    Handlebars rated for ebike use?

    Don't 'know' but I expect because a lot of folks may assume 35mm is better / stronger because it's 1 louder. (OK. 3.2 louder)

    Handlebars rated for ebike use?

    Just remember you need to be wearing your ebike specific shoes when you go to your lbs to buy your ebike specific handlebars... ... and don't forget to pick up some ebike specific energy snacks whilst you are there ;)

    75nm or 85nm that's the question

    Try holding down + and - whilst turning it on... info runs across screen like a ticker and with update you are looking for DU V1.1.2.0

    2021 Moustache Game 8

    Not a Game but my missus has a 2020 Trail 6 which is the same frame ... it's a size down for me but I've been out on it a fair bit last couple of months and really rate it. Wish I'd just got one myself and been enjoying it instead of faffing about waiting on EP8 news and new this & that to come...

    Hand protection - specifically knuckles

    I mostly ride without but I have a pair of Leatt mx gloves that have good knuckle protection and they are windproof and warm without being bulky, very grippy too... Don't mind wearing them at all them when its cold.

    commencal 2021

    dunno if it's been mentioned... but has anyone noticed the frame design above the motor appears to be different on the new Dirt and Graphite models ? As per the comment above I made in August when the first pics leaked... it seems to angle up more to the downtube... EDIT* ... scrap...

    Levo Gen 2 Where to buy shorter Crank Arms. ?

    Not sure what you mean by "UK based" ... not much is manufactured here.You mentioned Merida which isn't UK based. You can (usually) buy E*Thirteen stuff in the UK... stock may be thin on the ground as with anything that goes on a bike these days. I'm sure your knees won't mind if you get them...

    YT UK/Europe Support

    I contacted YT in July asking about availability on bikes and VAT ... the reply mentioned the upcoming UK service centre to help with issues / warranty etc etc... they did say bikes would still ship from Germany (though that may change with Brexit etc) I replied and asked... "Can you let me...

    Levo Gen 2 Are Specialized dealers obligated to service bikes purchased online?

    If your LBS doesn't have stock when you are trying to buy a bike... and they can't tell you when they will eventually get stock or if they can, its 6 months away, maybe (which is what I am hearing a lot from several local shops on several brands of bike) ... but another shop has the bike in...
