    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    It's a planetary gear system that fixes to the wheel hub/axel, it replaces the stock fixed speed magnet and uses it's own magnet inside the rotating gears. It reduces the magnet rotation by 1.5 tricking the system into thinking it's going slower than it actually is thus increasing assisted...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    It's called a "Speedi" it's a mechanical de-restricter. Hopefully undetectable by Bosch smart system and easy to remove without trace if needed. It will only increase assistance up to around 25mph. It has limitations compared to a chip but I still have a year of warranty on the bike so it's a...

    Dyfi bike park accommodation

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys 👍 While I'm not adverse to camping I know my friend will protest, unless it's glamping 😆 Thinking now, it maybe better to stay a little further away as it will break up the trip home which is going to be nearing 6 hours 😞

    Saddle advice - 10 days later and still coccyx pain

    Just as a heads-up, I'd also use the corrugated cardboard method to measure your sit bones. I have unusually narrow sit bones and the WTB wrist measurement system was way off for me personally. WTB make good saddles, I'm currently swapping between the volt and rocket to see which I prefer...

    Saddle advice - 10 days later and still coccyx pain

    Cheers guys, yes liners is what I'm after, I see now padded shorts are a different thing. I currently have some Altura liners, but after many washes they aren't so effective as they used to be.

    Is it still a mud bath up there? @RustyMTB I went over the old lions trail last week and it was sloppy!

    Saddle advice - 10 days later and still coccyx pain

    Sqlabs Ethos is all about ergonomics, they put a huge amount of R&D into their products and while they won't suit everyone I value their insight. They are one of the few (perhaps the only) company that offer saddles in width sizes in 1cm increments, from 12cm up to 18cm and beyond. Most other...

    Saddle advice - 10 days later and still coccyx pain

    Unfortunately, this is a question that only trial and error can often answer, as saddle choice is such a personal preference. You will get recommendations for "comfortable" saddles, but what's comfy for one person will be dreadful for another. The best thing to try, is to identify what area's of...

    Tightening a Bosch Powertube Battery Rail

    Glad you got it sorted, It's a common issue with this design unfortunately. As you've found, removing the lock barrel gives enough access to the bolt. I would keep a regular eye on the tray and bolt to make sure It's not working loose in the future, as there is potential to damage the threaded...

    Show me your airtime

    I'm still learning, working up to bigger jumps. I'm getting older and self preservation is kicking in, plus it seems to hurt a lot more falling off now to when I was younger!

    Cube hybrid 23 vs 24

    I believe it's unchanged other than slight colour differences on the frame since the introduction of the smart system in 2022, so unless you want a 24 model find the cheapest one you can From 22 onwards.

    Levo Gen 3 Handlebars 50mm rise

    I also have the sqlab 30x bars in 16deg and rate them highly, I would highly recommend doing the wrist angle test first to see if either the 12 or 16 will suit your resting wrist position, or if the standard 7-9deg on most other bars actually fits your better. The 16deg bars definitely bring...

    Bosch Smart motor 2022 - walk assist problems

    I'm not sure of this, I have a 22 cube which i have not done a system update on until recently. Before doing the update the walk assist worked in the same way as @arTNC described, full power at the push of the button with little to no delay. Since doing the update walk mode has changed...

    Pic of the Day

    I was a little apprehensive of getting so close to them, their horns look sharp! The tree had taken down part off the fence but was still managing to keep them in. Thankfully they seemed friendly enough 😆 Sadly a lot of trees are falling or being felled in this area, (Chanctonbury ring) does...
