    Is There A No-Brainer Upgrade for eMTB

    I’m finding the same to be honest!

    Is There A No-Brainer Upgrade for eMTB

    Nice and maybe lighter but not going to improve the ride surely?

    Is There A No-Brainer Upgrade for eMTB

    As a returning MTBer am loving the dropper having never had one, and wouldn’t be without now! I have previously used TF Tuned in the UK to tube rear shocks. I wonder if the stock Fox on the Levo is tweakable?

    Is There A No-Brainer Upgrade for eMTB

    I’ve been a loyal customer of Hope for a LONG time, but don’t see anything they offer as a “no-brainer” upgrade over what I’ve got, unless you NEED coloured parts!!

    Is There A No-Brainer Upgrade for eMTB

    On a road bike, the no-brainer upgrade in terms of benefit vs cost is a wheel upgrade. I don’t think such an upgrade exists for eMTB assuming you’ve started with a half decent bike. If there is please tell me. Tyres (and indeed running tubeless) are a personal preference. Motors/batteries...

    My beautiful countryside

    I might have a go on the beach when the sand is hard packed. Ashton Gdns has some good little slopes and skills bits, St Annes front near the lifeboat station has some lumps, bumps and trials bits too that are fun for a few minutes. There's a surprising amount of non-road or non-tarmac sections...

    My beautiful countryside

    BMX track at Park View in Lytham. I’ve only lived here ~15 years so not sure if it used to be elsewhere? It’s flat and boring but there’s a load of off-road trails round and about for daily excercise. I reckon I could do 10-15 miles locally almost entirely off-road

    My beautiful countryside

    I rode by St Annes Old Links and noted it would be all to easy just to ride onto the course! Tempted as I was, my luck says I’d get busted!! The beach is indeed huge. I used to fly power kites there but it’s no place for a bike. Sand, chain, no thanks!!!! Witch Wood is still there and one of my...

    My beautiful countryside

    Seeking out anything local to my town in Lytham St Annes (UK) that is off-road. Managed a nice couple of miles along the rocky beach with Southport over the water.

    STOP riding...

    I reckon so. It’s adjustable for wheels as small as 24” and up to 29” with qr or through axel. Just promise to operate without the motor on ?

    Any answers at Spesh day about motor and moisture issues ?

    So if Brose/Specialized aren't used to UK weather and rider habits that's kinda their problem. If the external ports on the motor are where moisture enters, and none of us use these ports, there must be a recommended simple way of sealing them up? Silicone sealant?

    Rapid Brake Pad Wear

    UK winter so muddy and gritty. Fairly hilly riding the Lake District and Lancashire. A few medium trail centres.

    Rapid Brake Pad Wear

    The first set that didn't last 5 minutes were the SRAM ones that came on the bike - not sure if they were sintered or organic. Replaced with Nukeproof sintered, and they're worse!!

    Assuming you’re all driving and not flying then in terms of getting your bikes/batteries out there?

    Rapid Brake Pad Wear

    Hi All Just a query. I know to expect faster brake pad wear on an eMTB due to the extra speed and weight involved but have gone through 2 sets of rears, and a set of fronts in 270 miles. Admittedly these have been atrocious UK wet and gritty miles. Is that inline with other people’s experience...
