I had them swapped over. I didn't trust myself not to revert to type when panicked!

What a cracking tailor! Where did you get those pants made to fit you?

Ref the video from @nrgbod post #490. I know the rider has way more skills than me, but the bike still had to perform. If it can do that, then it would support me at my pedestrian speed down the same trail (Yikes!). Or faster on an easier one! :)

The Shimano EP8 (and I assume 801 as well) can be user-configured for a lower torque as standard, so it is already out there. Other motors may have this facility.

@Binhill1 May I assume that you did a Danny Mac from the bunker to the tank traps and onwards?

Some of the high intensity flashing lights are very directional, so be aware that mounting at an angle might not have the effect you are looking for.

I suspected as much, but who knows these days, emoticons don't quite carry the same sense of meaning as a face-to-face chat would do. You do have my sympathy! :cry: Shifting sheared bolts is a bastard. I assume that they are blind bolts, in which case a left-hand drill bit with an...

I have just ordered some brake pads from Merlin Cycles (half price) for my grandson's Orange 5 RS, new in 2015. In 2020 it was expertly refurbished by James, a member on here, but I can't recall his username. It was a Covid project, but he took up emtb and hardly rode it after that! So he sold...

Yes of course you can! You've only lost one, there is another three to go yet! Let us all know how you get on with your next drop, jump or rocky descent. There is nothing like learning from the mistakes of others. :) I await your report. :whistle:

I tried the tweezers on one nose hair. It hurt like hell and it bled, a lot. Not tried that since. :eek: I cannot imagine what a complete nose job would feel like. :oops::poop:

I rented an emtb last week in the South of France, near Nimes. I had no choice of bike in the matter my son-in-law rented it for me. It was a Kellys bike with a Panasonic motor. I have no other info as to which motor it was. It wasn't short of power. It had four drive modes: Eco, Standard, Auto...

When I first heard about inserts, it was in the context of fitting them into a tubeless + sealant set up. Now I see that some insert users prefer to fit an inner tube as well! If they use sealant, where does it go, in the inner tube or in the tyre? If you don't use sealant at all, what is the...

Yes, I agree. But I would rather not have to use it.

Does the chin bar detach?

That is a great video clip. I did a rough approximation of their test using a couple of pencils and I think I'm OK, but I'll do a proper test after I get home.

Just checking.... If you use sealants, why do blackthorns (even 3 of them) cause a flat? I've had as many as 24 punctures in my tyre and still no flat.

I assume that the landowner is acting illegally. Take a pair of bolt cutters. If the bolt cutters are too heavy, take some Loctite and glue the lock shut. Let the landowner experience the inconvenience for himself. Or use your bike tools to remove the hinges on one side.

Here's mine., a 3-D starfish! I could hear it rumbling inside the tyre.

Visiting my daughter in the South of France, near Nimes. In the Vaunage to be more precise. The Vaunage is a wide and flat valley with hills on three sides. They grow grapes and olives. I went for a ride with my son-in-law John. John rode his muscle bike, an XL carbon framed Trek with 100mm...

It must be the sealant used then. Does Stans have bits in it?
