    DH World Cup thread

    I think i'm one of the few who don't mind Ric. Although in truth i mostly ignore him as i'm watching the riders and concentrating on them rather than actually listening to Ric. I do think one thing he could do is get a bit more insight into the riders by walking round the pits and asking stuff...

    How long do your brake pads last?

    12 months, more. Maybe. Ages. Uberbike race Matrix.

    DH World Cup thread

    Discovery+ through Sky was perfect and brilliant. I HATE the fact we don't see Semis. But today was as good as it gets. Epic racing and great to watch.

    Bearing extraction and press tools

    1. Not a screwdriver as if you get it wrong it's more likely to split the bearing apart just leaving the outer race in there. I use a 3/8" extension bar, rubber mallet, tap/knock it out. Sometimes I'll use a expansion bolt type setup from bearing pro tools, but not often in truth. Get a press...

    Bearing extraction and press tools

    As I say, I've used it lots, both at home and when away racing. Never had a single issue

    Apart from the fact I've used this kit for 100+ bearings

    Best security options to prevent theft - don't need another stolen bike

    To be honest mate, if they want them, they're taking them. They'll just hacksaw through the frame. They don't want to ride it, own it... They're either flogging it in the pub for £100 or they're parting it out. Insurance really, the rest may hold them up, but insurance will get you a new bike.

    Family bike Van

    IMO the Transit drives better than the Vivaro/Trafic versions and has more space in the front for people too. We demo'd a fair few before buying the Transit. If you get a crew cab it'll be wheel out i'm afraid, you'll JUST get a small maybe a medium in the back with wheels in.... but you won't...

    eBike up at DyFi instead of uplift?

    Can't wait for Champerey, my boy is racing the European Championships there in a couple of months

    EMTB for £3000? Narrowed down to 3 options. Marin, Cube or Orbea.

    Fork is honestly really good, i had mine at Dyfi on Monday this week, the fork was super. I'm not saying you should or shouldn't buy the bike, but don't not buy it because of the fork.

    New bike, noisy motor. Service or ignore?

    Your over run sounds different I think, but the whine itself doesn't sound worse than mine. Even after a full rebuild and service by ebikemotorcenter it still sounded the same

    New bike, noisy motor. Service or ignore?

    My Yamaha in Liv bike was properly noisy. But I honestly don't know if that's good or bad

    same motor same battery different range

    Or not pedalling as hard. Swap bikes and try a ride?

    eBike up at DyFi instead of uplift?

    Well no, you don't need one, sure. I've ridden it on a Status 160 and a Fuel EX. But that doesn't mean either are the best tool for the job. However, the fastest, jumpers, best guys there are on DH bikes, for a reason. They're the best tool for the job. It's plenty steep enough for me

    eBike up at DyFi instead of uplift?

    Well that's arguably the best bike for Dyfi anyway 😄

    eBike up at DyFi instead of uplift?

    Dyfi you can easily book within a week. Try that at BPW. On BH Monday just gone there were still places on the Thurs leading up to it. BPW use a completely different route for Ebikes and uplift, so does FOD, there's a reason for this... it's honestly fairly apparent and exactly the reason they...
