Pedal strikes suck. Nearly all of my worst crashes have been due to that and even 5mms makes a big difference. I have gradually gone shorter and shorter over the years and have spent the last 12 months on 155s. If I bend a crank again I think I would try 150s next as I have never once felt the...
Clips for me everytime. My pedal of preference is the ht x3. I previously had the T1s but find I enjoy the extra platform of the x3 and so far don't see the need for pins. Also I find it quicker to dab with clips as you just need to slide your foot as apposed to needing to raise your foot first...
Only one I have seen in real life had a bit of trouble with linkage bolts getting loose so maybe just keep a sharp eye on that. I am extremely envious. Your spec is exactly how I would want mine. I currently run 200 boxxers on my Cannondale and would never go back to single crown I wouldn't imagine
Yes I agree totally with this. I just don't get why peeps feel they must ride slowly uphill. Why not just smash the uphill as quickly as you can using full assistance. That's how to get a real workout.
I would suggest sizing down slightly is a far better option than sizing up slightly. I get to ride a variety of bikes due to an afilition u have with a hire company. My personal bike is a Bosch and apart from breaking an occasional engine mount its been trouble free for 15k kilometers. I don't...
Another carer here. If my braking performance is compromised at all my whole riding performance degenerates but that's just me. I am sure there are plenty of others that it doesn't affect to anything like the same amount
I am on the side of pads do make a difference. Best I have used are Magura race pads but you need to keep them working hard. When they are cold they are hopeless. My go to are galfer purple. Strong and last well
I am riding with some guys on non smart system bosch who have fitted after market 250 wh bottle cage batteries. They seem to be working very well. No issues thus far but it's only been a couple of months so far. They ride pretty hard but I will give it a bit more time before I invest
I prefer the 625 over the 750 for a variety of reasons. My setup is eco which I very rarely use tour plus which goes from eco to turbo presuming you can put enough wattage in yourself which I have never even come close to I don't think. Emtb which is a great mode if you want power but need to...
I am really not sure what sport is all about. Never seen that come up except maybe on an trek. They always had something a bit different. Let us know what you find out
