    Wanted a brand new Bosch gen 4 and a 625w battery Full suspension £ 3000 plus

    Focus Jam 2 6.0. 27.5 or 29er. Add £500 from your own pocket. Biggest battery out there, but Shimano and not Bosch. FOCUS Jam² 6.6 Nine 29 steel grey at bikester.co.uk I personally like my old Haibike, but I'm not keen on the way they've changed the frame design for the newer Bosch motors.

    Weather. WTF.

    We've had it lucky up here in Scotland for a few months, not the same amount of flooding as further south anyway, with the Borders being the exception. I went out on monday for an hour with the strict aim of not getting too muddy. No chance at all - luckily I fitted a Mudstop and extra bearing...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Fox Float went in earlier, as well as a new PCS cartridge for the forks - I've given up lockout for H/L Comp Just need to borrow a Shockwiz now to set it all up. Shock was new, and turns out its OEM for a Trek 5010 - Chain Reaction had the code blanked out. Feck knows what it'll be like on the...

    Best shock pump?

    You're not technically losing it from the shock when you disconnect, you're losing it from the pump, and when you connect the pump again, a small amount goes into it's hose. It should be easy to keep track of whats happening. Under pressure! 15 shock pumps in review | ENDURO Mountainbike...

    Post your Haibike eMTB pics here!

    Stuck a Fox Float DPS in the rear...not ridden it yet, but it was a pain to get the sag set correctly.

    Fox speedframe pro

    Looks good, but not keen on the rear spoiler. But what do I know, I've just bought the Smith Forefront 2 MIPS.

    Tubeless conversion shopping list...

    I recently went tubeless on my Haibike, which has 35mm rims. I tried with narrower tape first (Tesa 4289) and it would not seal. Went with WTB 40mm tape and it sealed first time. I used the Muc-off valve kit and sealant. Works very well and smells nice too. I taped, put tyre back on and pumped...

    E Wild rubber

    I've read mixed reports when dealing with wet and mud. Anything good to report from users? Was thinking about the Wild Enduro 27.5/2.4 for my 35mm rims......my current Nobby Nics 2.8 are useless in the mud. cheers D.

    How many converts here?

    Same here, but on right knee. If I go a few weeks without riding, my leg feels like it tightens up - I had physio on the muscle/tendon that runs from the knee to the inner thigh/groin area a few years ago because of my shitty knee. Cycling helps - eCycling helps even more....

    Washing stand?

    I use one of these, perfect for your needs. Might not lift a 29 though, 27.7+ clears the ground but not by much. Minoura DS-40CS Chain Stay Bike Stand | Tredz Bikes

    Post your Haibike eMTB pics here!

    Looking over middle Fife from 56°08'17.5"N 3°13'36.7"W. I love this bike but the Nobby Nics are rubbish in the mud.!

    5-10's or Something different. For the impact friendly rider.

    I bought a pair of Ion Rascal Select boots in November, fitted some Shimano cleat covers and they've turned out great. Nice sole stiffness and plenty of grip on my stamp 2's. And don't worry about the Sh1tty colour - once you're knee deep in mud, it doesn't really matter....

    Rim tape for my Haibike

    I recently converted my Tryp 35s to tubeless using 40mm tape and it was perfect. I tried using narrower tape but it would not seal.
