Has anyone used a planet bike derestricter device on a bosch gen 4 bike? Has it been successful for many number of miles? My understanding from the website is it a mechanical derestricter and tricks the computer into its going slower than it is, does the bosch system have any other way of...

Rolling resistance is beneficial on more than just climbing and if your climbing on billiard smooth tarmac all the time, then maybe your on the wrong forum.

Well contrary to your belief, offroad Bikes use less energy on tyres with lower tyre pressures. The carcass is allowed to deform around and over the root/bump and takes less energy out of the bike. On road- higher pressure = less resistance. Off road - lower pressure = less resistance...

Well if it's just for looks, then only you can answer that question!

Commencal are direct sale too now. So you'll struggle with a proper demo off one. I was interested in a meta power, but the local shop who act as an agent for them said I could come and take a look at one but not demo it.

My hope tech 3 are great, never tried the magura but they found equally just as good.

And a big negative for us UK riders is buying through Evans only! Especially with the carpark only demo they allow for bikes!

Well the norco definitely sounds like a contender! The blue in that video looks so much better the white one I think. Is that a USA only colour?

Yep

The absolute best thing for this is a Dirtlej suit. Best thing for keeping water out

Je James Demo day next week

Is it similar to the emtb mode on the bosch gen 4?

OK thanks for the honest report, thus would be my first mail order bike and it is a worry not having a shop to deal with.

I've always discounted the shimano system due to its smaller 500wh battery. I very nearly bought a trek rail and most bikes I'm keen on have the bosch system, but then I think I'm only favouring them because of the 625wh battery! So... Real world personal thoughts on the shimano 500wh...

Hey dude, I've gone all round the houses looking at bikes, not quite being what I want on paper and found the Ekano last night. Pretty much exactly what I'm after geo wise. But obviously difficult decision just stumping up money for a bike you can only see pictures off! Where abouts are you...

Reading about the propain Ekano last night, it sounds like the bike geometry I've been looking for and a decent price, plus I think it actually looks real sweet. Other than ordering one and waiting... Does anyone know if any demos available in the uk? Their website isn’t the easier to find info...

That is a really interesting product! I like the idea, anyone using one? Looks like it takes 3 wheel rotations tindin1 magnet rotation, so I'm assuming it would raise the limit to 45mph

Plus don't really want to do end 5k on a bike and still have to buy parts to get the bike I want

Im just not sure I want a 180mm travel bike for the majority of my riding will be overkill

Exactly what I'm after, a bike I between the Levo and kenevo, I will prob end up with an Orbea Wild
