    (HELP) Newbie just made a Custom Chinese Full Carbon EMTB Beast for $3000. What do you guys think?

    If you end up not liking it and decide to change you'll lose less on that in a year than the depreciation on a high end bike IMHO, but it sounds good for your intended use - battery size, motor, suspension, brakes will be fine for XC and easy DH.

    When you shoot into the sun the auto-exposure reduces/stops down. Most phones/cameras let you compensate for that and get a better/brighter pic like this . .

    is there a new Orbea about to land ??

    They specifically addressed that with different chainstay, geometry and linkages so hopefully it's not an issue, but a test will confirm.

    Stolen bike success

    All about the cost of locking them up. If we didn't have all the tax avoiding politicians and their non-dom mates constantly ripping us off and paying zero tax there would be more money to help with all social problems, roads, councils, NHS etc etc [rant over].

    is there a new Orbea about to land ??

    The EP8 and EP8RS can deliver 85Nm so it's not the new battery. Maybe it's the extender or wiring/connector that limits the max current it can supply.
