    Levo Gen 3 Fox 38 or Zeb ultimate??

    My local shredders just did pretty well in the EWS Tweed Valley. All I'm trying to say is that you can go every bit as fast on a 35 or 36 mm fork as you can on a 38mm. Personal preference is a whole different thing.

    Levo Gen 3 Fox 38 or Zeb ultimate??

    "If you want a fork for for basic trail riding stick with a 35/36 fork." Better tell all the local shredders they're using the wrong forks! :ROFLMAO:

    AirPods when riding ?? Yes or no

    Not for me. If I'm out on my own I'm generally on the e bike. This will involve passing many people and I'd prefer to be able to let them know I'm coming and respond / chat etc. Having music on would make that more difficult. If I'm on the regular bike I'm almost always with someone else.

    Where are you riding this weekend?

    There's a race on here this weekend. I'll mostly be trying to heckle my GF and mates as they pass.

    Eddy Current tyres? (Previously a question on casings)

    I am running an Eddy Current on the back of my Decoy. It's decent but not exceptional. Does seem to be wearing well though and unless it's horrible conditions, I wouldn't say it holds me back. When I replace I will likely go Big Betty.

    Aberdeenshire - what’s open?

    Yes easy to find via Trailforks. Heartbreak Ridge has a nice straightforward climb and they've added lots of markers in so you can see where it goes..it fairly obvious anyway.

    Aberdeenshire - what’s open?

    Master blaster is great and obviously Heartbreak Ridge. If the weather is good it's magnificent.

    Sometimes it just seems to take ages. Faith No More definitely redeemed the music in that! :ROFLMAO:

    New Hope Tech 4 V4

    I had very poor experiences with both V4 and E4 previously. A hope evangelist waxed lyrical about how his E4s were so much better than my (admittedly crap) Code Rs. I tried his bike and they were laughably bad. However, a friend has these new ones and a brief carpark test suggests they are...

    Just remember to bed-in your da**n brakes

    This process is SO much easier on a e-bike! Bedding in brakes on a regular bikes is like doing interval sprints.

    What brakes rotor are you running?

    Especially since MT5s already have pretty tight pad clearance.

    Long travel ebikes: Ducati TK-01RR Special Edition

    I ride a Decoy Shred. It's an absolute riot. On paper the geo doesn't really make sense, but on trail it is just such a fun bike.

    What brakes rotor are you running?

    On the Decoy, I am running 220mm HS2 rotors with Code RSC. Yes, they make a huge difference. On my normal bike (Privateer 161) I am running 223mm Glafer rotors with Magura MT5. Again, a big difference and well worth doing if you ride a lot of steep trails. FWIW - the Glafer discs seem as good...
