That's a bit unusual, but hey, whatever works for the three of you.

You should join the Fenland Mountain Rescue Team! Great workouts, they get called out all the time.

Have you checked your house contents insurance? They often will cover bikes as standard, but for only a low amount like £1000. However, if asked they may offer to increase the cover for an additional premium that is a lot cheaper than specialists may offer. Check the terms to see if it gives you...

Because MORE is better? :unsure:

If that is the case, why is there a "buy-it-now" option of £1000? Is that a con, or just the letter of the law?

I store my bike in the garage, chained to a ground anchor. The garage has insulated walls and doors, so it doesn't get as hot or cold inside as it can outside. I have never had anything freeze in the garage. The up-and-over doors have gaps at the bottom big enough to let mice in, so it is...

@ReadyShreddy Forget what you have already paid, that option is common to all three options and in any case, you are not getting that money back. It's gone, forget it! Option 1: Even if you really like the bike, I agree that you are unlikely to still want it after another 4 years (assuming it...

Thanks to @Mad_Angler1 for his fascinating insights. I am very happy with my current bike so I wasn't planning on a new bike any time soon. But now I'm going to wait at least a year or so for the dust to settle to see what responses DJI make to warranty issues and (a big one here) spares.

@whitymon Good call on the tyre pressure, I should have remembered that. It's not just pressure but the tyres themselves too. Both can dramatically alter the ride. I ride tubeless with usually 17psi front and 20psi rear. Thats a 29x2.5 Maxxis Assegai on the front and a 27.5 x 2.6 WTB Trail Boss...

I had the e8000, did over 3000 miles, never had a problem. Went through three winters. I have an EP8, done 3269 miles, never had a problem. Went through three winters, coming up to four. I don't ride through streams. I don't use a hosepipe to clean the bike. Both bikes travel on the tow-bar...

Firstly, I never claim to be an expert! :eek: There is a section on this Forum for suspension queries and it has several responses fixed at the top of it. Sorry, you are going to have to look for it, but one of them is this below. It's very good. Bikerumor Suspension Setup Series: Full Series...

Glazing can happen if you don't bed the pads in properly. If the pads have glazed and you have cleaned and sanded them, then clean and sand the discs as well. Then bed them in properly.

@Winford If you only ride in two gears, then the cassette wear will be accelerated quite dramatically. Why only two cassette gears? Are you using the motor modes instead of the gears? On the very first emtb I rode at a demo day, I found myself doing that and thought to myself "why do ebikes...

It's weird isn't it? Everyone thinks they know what a working person is until they try to define one. As long as there is stuff like that will AI ever be a threat? I wonder how Starmer and Reeves would define a working woman? :eek:

I would leave the motor on, you never know when you might need the power assist. anyway, if you are riding above 25kph, you are not drawing power from the battery. You are however, clocking up the distance, so if that is a concern because you are doing a lot of it, then it's a consideration.

Maybe we have a new definition of "working people". You should send that to Starmer and Reeves! :unsure::ROFLMAO:

Careful! That phrase is so easily turned around and fired back at you! Make your own bed. Cook your own meals. Rock yourself to sleep!

If something fails outside warranty, fair do's, you have to pay for a replacement. But there should be a replacement available to buy. Companies constantly changing the design is part of bike evolution in a fast-developing market, but having to keep spares is part of the cost of development and...

Take a look at Continental Cross King. Think about whether you need/want the ones with the black chilli compound (BCC). In my experience if the tyre advert does not claim BCC, it doesn't have it. BCC adds grip without affecting life too much (also in my experience of the Continental Trail Kings...

Isn't there any consumer law that governs this? Car manufacturers would not keep parts for ten years after the model stopped if they didn't have to do so. The EU must have been good for something. I know we are not in it anymore but Spain still is.
