do our cranks need anything higher to tighten upto? Some bikes seem to suggest 40nm but maybe not relevant, I had to hand tighten my cranks caps as I didn’t know what to go upto, I’ve not had the actual crank out yet either https://www.dedhambike.com/articles/torque-table-pg186.htm

I’m starting to plan some decent rides soon around the lakes but want to scope them out first (so I don’t get hit with unexpected OTB stuff!). Before viewfinder was taken over by outdooractive it had an AR function like a google earth for trails you could walk through but doesn’t seem to...

Cheers might give the stem one a go!

you’ll probably also be suffering pelvic tilt and rounded shoulders with weaker chest muscles if you’re office bound (I’ve suffered badly myself!) so Jeffs exercises are some of the best around I tried, it’s just being disciplined to do them consistently, something I struggle with! I bought a...

Kiox and mobile mounts, which are the best? I’ve some crappy bar one I got off ebay for £20 which has ended up scratching my carbon bars because it wouldn’t fit on the fatter part and my Rockform bar phone holder let the phone come off once, luckily a friend found it!!! I’d like to try...

Apparently the first batch will get posted and delivered possibly by next week, it’s a nice looking bike when you see it in the flesh like this. Incidentally my Rise which was due today has been delayed until end of the month now……let’s see what the mtb gods make me do once the reviews are in!

So I sold this in the end after owning for 2 weeks and made a 1.5k profit in the process…..literally day I bought it the perfect one popped up the next day so I bought that one instead, just had a great trip to the Lake District and wow the 4wd mode really came to my rescue as I drove through a...

Same happened here! Btw wtf did you get 2.6 MM from? ? You’ll notice that weight, mines like a tank now

Tbf that tin of ‘work ya bastard’ might be perfect, you’d need to be able to whip it out gunslinger style though which might not be practical….I’ve never considered taking wd40 out, what else do you take out with you? ?

ebike ?’s don’t ya know? ?

not sure but a 625kw fits into the same place a 500w does on my Orbea wild so I can’t imagine the weight being hugely more…..I bid £450 on a 625w battery earlier, 2nd hand 500w are about £400…..I should have bid more as it went for £460 but I was kinda picking up an Asda shop whilst loading and...

Each to there own but not defending yourself is weird to me and why discourage it? Should all emtb guys be these pathetic specimens who just simply hand over 7k bikes, if anything that behaviour will just encourage this more so? I know women who have fought off guys before who gave up because...

See that’s where guys like you get stabbed one day by thinking you’ll just get a good hiding only…..I don’t agree with @Doomanic about just handing over either, often thieves will pick there fights so if you stand up a little they might piss off…. I mean christ I’m in a knox urban pro top...

if you were to pick just one what would it be after trying back to back?

I’m the same almost but I do use eco now and again though just to start getting more km and workout really but the rise will force us to do more work so that will be good. That said think very hard before you buy a Rise, if your willing to sell a £7k bike for £5.5k (and even then it could take...

theres very few comparisons surprisingly, Robs done a couple, 60nm of Bosch for example would seems more powerful than 60nm of Shimano motors, that reported torque isn’t as straight forward as it seems. Rob also did a Bafang 95nm vs Bosch 85nm and Bosch was way more powerful at getting up steep...

I’ve ordered an XL, 180cm but appreciate sizing smaller makes it easier to turn perhaps so will have to see how that works out, part of me is thinking maybe the FF XL would be better and the L Rise instead, I did sit on an XL and fit okay, the dropper was too big though so that needs to be...

what size did you go for? I seem to fix XL best (6ft longer arms) on the Wild so I aimed towards (and various people say I’d fit the XL better) that but after watching @MTB_MIKE I‘m still pondering after seeing his reasons for going for a tighter fit since they offer more in terms of agility, I...

From what I gather you can get a max of 70nm by unlocking....

Great review that, I’ve also subscribed cheers! Loads of useful irl info and comparisons
