    Having a nightmare with JE James

    I feel sorry for you with all this hassle. I'm lucky in that i live close to je james. My experience is a bit jekyll and hyde. If i go into the store they are super helpful and happy to chat away. However if you need to get hold of them on the phone or via e-mail the process is excruciating. I...

    Sherwood Pines and NCB area Sun 12th Sep'21 (spaces left)

    I need to check my availability to be certain but if the weather isn't horrendous i should be able to make this. Been practicing some steep stuff lately so as long as there are no big jumps should be good.

    Leatt Moto 4.5 Lite Black Gloves i quite like them to be fair. they've already lasted far longer than any fox crap i've had.

    It was a lot hotter than I was expecting. Luckily the cafe at fairholmes sells ice cream. ?

    150rs vs 160rs if you had to choose …?

    also your height is a factor when thinking of 29's. I know i'd be hitting the back tyre when things get rowdy on a 29.

    New Bosch Tour+ mode officially launched

    I find it hard to explain properly. Eco feels closer to a normal bike sort of effort but with the obvious thing of it being very smoothed out by the motor. Tour feels like just having someone pushing you along at a steady rate to keep you near 15mph. Personally i found it lacking in punch when...

    New Bosch Tour+ mode officially launched

    +1 for tour+ here. I was dropping off my wife's car and the LBS is just down the road, so i popped in for a chat and discovered they would do the update for free. A few hours later i took the bike in and it was done (along with some other random battery update). I think this is the mode i've...

    Has your EMTB made you fitter, or kept you as fit, as your regular MTB?

    Mine has managed to help build my fitness up gradually after injury without taking away a sense of fun. I'm under no illusions i'm not as fit as people who ride a normal MTB on the same rides as me, but the whole point of the bike was to be able to do a lot more than my knees are actually...

    LETS SEE YOUR RIDE FOOTAGE

    most of what i've done recently is on the point of not actually being able to stop and it looks like plodding along a garden path.

    Review 5.10 Trailcross GTX (Goretex)

    I'm hoping they hold out as i can't really be bothered to try them out until they are actually required. My ride concept powerlines are too good to not use when it's not soaking wet (because they take forever to dry out)

    Nottingham or East Midlands meet up / ride outs

    If you use facebook there are also some groups that might be worth joining in on around the east midlands/south yorkshire area. I've had some really enjoyable rides in groups recently. depends what kind of riding you are after.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    kiox upgrade since my purion screen is damaged from my crash. also eyeing up carbon bars but really not sure.

    LETS SEE YOUR RIDE FOOTAGE

    the 360 cameras are cool in that you can edit your video with more perspective (ie changing the view side or rearward) when somewhere a bit more scenic, but the lense distortion is quite offputting for more bike park type content. I'd still like one to compliment my go pro.

    LETS SEE YOUR RIDE FOOTAGE

    not hit any big jumps, probably won't unless i very slowly work my way back up. Going back to the scene of the crash in 11 days time so hopefully there are no PTSD issues. ? Been trying to do more steep testing stuff than airbourne. Bike feels good.

    Good to hear you are back on the bike. It sucks having time off when the weather is great.

    LETS SEE YOUR RIDE FOOTAGE

    Supposed to keep this one a bit quiet so will only say that it was a bit of a rollercoaster today. Pushed myself out of my comfort zone on quite a few bits but still had enough sense to know when to get off the bike and walk.

    definitely doable, just not on my own the first time. Next time i'm going with people that know it all better.

    I got mine updated to tour+ today. Weather isn't looking favourable this weekend for a fair test but we shall see.

    Review 5.10 Trailcross GTX (Goretex)

    mine arrived today. the 9.5 is actually a little bigger than i expected but the intention was to save these for colder days with thicker socks anyway.
