    Extra large pedals?

    The pic was posted to show relative size. Some dirt and discolour after 2000km are fine by me … old RockBros are still in a good rolling condition. Do you judge performance on colours and fonts?

    My shoes stink

    I wash my Palladium - rubber, leather and cordura - riding boots in a washing machine with normal detergent pods at 30 deg, regularly. After few years of usage I give my shoes to my dogs to chew on. They love the smells of the forest and the owner… then the boots get disposed as bio-hazard.

    Extra large pedals?

    I tested Burgtec pedals today and I had equally good pedal-boot surface-connection as with my oversized RockBros. What is equally important, no pedal strikes today. I would be keen to find out where are they made, as the fit and finish is indistinguishable from my CN-made RockBros.

    Extra large pedals?

    I have bought the Burgtec composite pedals. They are a little smaller than my current RockBros. I will test it tomorrow on the trails.

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Very interesting point. I am currently riding on Pirelli Scorpion 29x2.6 front and 27.5x2.6 rear. I had better traction with Hans Dampf 27.5x2.8 in the rear (on my previous bike) The Assegai 27.5x2.6 gave me the best traction (from within my options), however, it is currently classified as...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Depends where you ride, in wet/mud season on the island I want max traction on the rear, so I would go 2.6 or 2.8 [emoji38]

    Who's had COVID?

    Politics aside, I find it funny that people who are violently opposed to GM food are happy to accept MRNA injections. Personally, I am pleased that AZ was available to most people in the UK.

    How do you switch profile 1-2 on the display? I know how to set it with the eTube app.

    Review Ducati TK01-RR

    Excellent @Bontee , sounds like you have it sorted. I agree, the bike is great and the Pirelli’s roll well on hard dry surface, not as good in wet or my local mud.

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    I think that is normal. Med-Trail is 90% assistance. Putting good effort and climbing hills will use the battery quicker. Looks like a battery well spent [emoji41] If you go to Lo-Eco setting 20% you would more than double, possible triple the distance, depending on input and hills

    Levo Gen 3 need to buy a seat recommendations please :)

    Go to a premium shop with good selection and test on your rear-end. I have bought few seats online and none of them are better than my OEM saddle.

    Shimano BT-E8035 Integrated Battery Issue: very fast degrading and loss of range

    We have movement in batt longevity. Tesla just issued a new standard with details for 1’000’000 miles battery. This roughly translates to 4’000 cycles and 10% capacity loss, vs. old standard of 1’000 cycles and 50% loss. Ref for the enthusiasts...

    Review Ducati TK01-RR

    For reference, with my new bike/battery my range is astonishing 178km… and I believe it, as I have done 150km on my gen1 bike with smaller batt. We will see in few months, as the battery progressively degrades. I am still on 100% batt health (1-cycle), 300km on the clock.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    It does look good, but I see it is for your hand protection, not a vertical grip. Now that I have seen it, I think I need it. Let us know if it works for you. I connect more thorny branches than trees and it might help

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    @ZF, please post a picture of your counterpunch grips on your bike. I installed old horns for changing grip angle on long rides. It worked well on L2B 95km ride, but now and then I hook some bush and I have to fight it off unexpectedly
