    Riding at night?

    I'm building a system that could use my existing Makita 18v batteries. The first kind of prototype uses 25w light that has 5x Epistar leds. The watts per lumen is not so good as with Cree LEDs in my previous Fenix lamps but the light acts now as a testbench if the combination is usable in mtb...

    Trial helmet for EMTB riding

    I think I broke my Giro Switchblade MIPS-helmet to a point that I might need a new helmet. At the same time I made a change to start using MX helmet during DH-riding. So..just a thought: Why wouldn't I buy a MX trial helmet for my next helmet for EMTB trail riding? Is it a threat … or...

    Full face or convertible helmet

    Sorry I was thinking DH or equivalent but forgot to mention it in my previous post. My mistake!

    Full face or convertible helmet

    I wonder why the full face helmet weight is quite often a little issue in mountain biking but "never" when running mx. Not that I'm any MX-specialist but..

    Removable battery/motor ("2 in 1" ebikes) thoughts?

    I would suggest renting an ebike and having a day downhilling it in a bikepark. Then you know more. Now it sounds a little too theoretic problem.

    Mino Link settings

    Why not just use loctite in the threads? The cable ties will rub all the paint away after a while. Edit: I used cabletie as quick fix for rear brakehose and the end result could be seen in the frame paint damage.

    Which GPS watch do you use ?

    Someone could test the affect of 25hz GPS in Strava segments. The error should be smaller in both ends: the start and the end as Strava chooses the closest point. I think the 1Hz is not accurate enough for fast speed downhill segments. https://www.racebox.pro/products/racebox-mini

    LETS SEE YOUR RIDE FOOTAGE

    @BAMBAMODA Any quick tips for settings for gopro 10 for downhill biking? I included the chesty in the package and thought it would be best mount for DH.

    Review Troy Lee Designs 7855 Armoured Shirt

    Works great in DH. I got used to the weight quite fast. Normally I wear Under Armour heatgear shortsleeve shirt under it and it seem to work also in hot conditions (30'C). Bought also 6.5 neckbrace and integration to the body armour is great with red rubberbands on sides. My plan was to use the...

    Deciding between Specialized Kenevo Comp and Scott Ransom eRide 920.

    The Kenevo will have much more professionally made integration to ride tracking software let's say Strava, Garmin or equivalent than Bosch "old" Gen 4.

    Cushcore + New Tire Installation?

    You and the internet is making it too complicated. Just buy it, install it, ride it. I have Cushcores with Michelin DH34 in my other bike and didn't ask a thing from Internet. Seems to work.

    How the heck did you decide what to buy?

    The price was good for Trek Rail 5 on April 2020: 3700 euros. Been happy even though some (most..) of the components have been upgraded (replaced..) since but that shouldn't surprise anyone 😄 Trek felt trustful mainstream brand. Before the order I testride Rail 7 like 100m on asphalt. At that...

    Cushcore + New Tire Installation?

    Could you be more specific what was the issue? Had zero issues with them. The 2022 ordered were a little tighter to get on wheel than 2020. Lot's of installation difficulty depends on wheter you have wirebead DH-tire or something more lighter.

    What firmware edition i must choose for a deristricted Bosch CX performance gen 4 with Volspeed v3 ?

    LBS can't choose the firmware version, it's always the newest one. They can only choose on different setups depending on the bike: tour+ etc. The Volspeed V3 is not dependent on firmware so you can safely take whatever (..well it's the newest) is available. I wouldn't do anything for the motor...

    Scott eRide Strike 2022

    I'm starting to think that the 5300 euros price for 625wh battery with Purion controller is a little on pricy side if you compare it to Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC 750 at 4999 price tag (Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC SL 750 27.5 polarsilver n orange 2022 - E-Bike Fully Mountainbike) Of course...

    Trek Rail bearings table

    I think I took the numbers and models from 2020 aluminium pictures. The one that’s posted sticky thread here. You can crosscheck the OEM numbers

    Article Is the Shimano EP8 a bad motor?

    Engineers design more compact, lighter and more powerful engines. That's what they do. But there are two limitations on these engines; Bosch, Shimano, Brose and Yamaha which are the best I tried: 1) The union of electronics and mechanics does not hold up well over time and mileage. 2)...
