    Please recommend a good and resistant chain for Sram 12 speeds ebike

    Sticking with SRAM NX or GX chains would be my advice. They’re cheap, readily available and fare just as well as more expensive options in my experience.

    F1 - The Grosjean Crash

    He’s a nice guy and quick when the stars align... he had some good results back in the Lotus days. He makes some questionable racing decisions though and has never really excelled in wheel to wheel action.

    F1 - The Grosjean Crash

    He’ll be sore today and very thankful to be alive I expect. He’s out of a drive for next year so I doubt we’ll see him in a F1 car again... I expect he’ll retire and devote time to his wife and three kids.

    F1 - The Grosjean Crash

    It was deeply shocking. The retardation measured at 53G so it’s amazing he was conscious let alone had the ability to get out of the car in the middle of that inferno. Thought you didn’t watch the F1 anyway.

    I’ve been told not to?! .......

    I’d go ride it. Personally, I don’t see the value in the whole invisiframing thing although others clearly do. It’s a mountain bike... I like them to develop a bit of trail patina.

    Levo or Levo SL - can't decide

    That’s an odd way to look at it if I may say. Do you know that the Mahle is cheaper to manufacture than the Brose? Spesh have been churning the Brose out for a long time now and with that longevity comes reduced cost. Partnering with a new company in Mahle, and the R&D and manufacture of a...

    Maxxis vs. Michelin?

    I thought the eWild front was good in the wet, not so much in the dry. The eWild rear was very good but heavy and wore out faster than expected. I’m currently running an Arseguy ? and DHR on the front and rear on my Whyte and think it’s an excellent combination. So, aside from the looks I don’t...

    I was told by my LBS that Zees were discontinued ?‍♂️ Perhaps why there’s no UK stock.

    GoPro hero 8 mountain on a smith mainline?

    You had some suggestions in your thread of the same the other day didn’t you? Before you spend a bundle of cash on a helmet mount I’d ask yourself how many of your rides you actually plan on recording... I’d go for a cheap Amazon chest mount if I were you.
