Same - my eMTB mates all said don't worry about the cost because you forget as soon as you ride it out the door . . and they were right! And strangely now I have one I have no desire at all to ride a motorbike.

I wonder how many pens like that get sold. I wonder how many Tony Bou replicas are sold annually - I bet it's less than 1000 and that certainly isn't a run of the mill motorbike, compared to how many s-works Levos . . Alloy frames have been around for 70yrs, disk brakes 50yrs - all the dev...

I know it's a free market and supply/demand plus competition controls prices but I still can't fathom why a motorbike is so much cheaper. Look at the Tony Bou replica trials bike - alloy frame, monoshock rear, telescopic forks, hydraulic disk brakes - all the same tech but a highly sophisticated...

Another cool dry one . .

The big advantage is you can ride much further, on steeper trails and more often with an eMTB and if you have any single track aspirations at all then full suss is a no-brainer.

Chilly but dry, roll on spring!

No snow on the Malverns (or mud), just lots of steep ups and downs . .

Do you not need a working chain breaker to remove the broken link?

The consensus seems to be a cassette will need replacing every three chains . . one option is to have three chains and rotate them to even the wear.

Sounds a reasonable mileage FWIW.

Cheap tarp off t'interweb plus an old sheet on top - I can remove front wheel then lift bike in/out my hatchback without sliding it. The sheet takes most of the mud etc and gets put in the washing machine when it's minging. Some mates use a small portable washer to remove heavy mud etc before...

Horse 1: Why can't that bike stand up on its own? Horse 2: Because it's two-tyred!

Making the most of the winter sun and dry(ish) trails in Glos to do some trail maintenance - a pruning saw wasn't enough for some of the branches!

and it bugs the hell out of me!

Triggered LOL.

Great ride on the Malverns after layering up against the cold . . nicely dried up by the wind but patches of ice to avoid.

Dry weather at last and a great ride . . just keep away from the river Severn flood plain . .

High voltage side is insulated from low voltage side plus plenty of smoothing - plug everything before powering up. Bike first if the mains is unswitched.

I have a Raleigh, battery never goes flat ever because it doesn't have one and suspension never needs a service for same reason - and this is progress?? 😂

You spoil that bike - everyone likes stollen, especially this time of year!
