    It’s a stunning design, but how do you clean the details after mud-ride?

    BHF - London to Brighton

    So, today I went for a relatively easy, flat terrain ride, anticipating my battery to die of exhaustion, well, it’s still going and apparently I have 43% left. So far the measurements are as follows: Ride #1 - 49km - battery state 76% Ride #2 - 21km - battery state 55% Ride #3 - 25km - battery...

    What are their actual size? I do pref oversized pedals, even though I get occasional pedal strikes.

    That is awesome! Out of interest, do your local H&S inspectors allow climbing with ropes without a helmet and hi-viz jacket? [emoji38]

    BHF - London to Brighton

    This is hugely useful, thanks @MrSimmo After how many km is the mammoth hill that separates men from the boys? I am asking as I understand that this year’s route is 60 miles in total. I am prepping for the race with my Ducati branded Thok with 500wh battery. With the Eco set to Low on E-Tube...

    Stolen bikes whilst on holiday. Norfolk.

    I would have thought that e-bikes with on-frame and software serial numbers would be relatively easy to find, especially on an island. Crims seem to be more arrogant and surprisingly hard to find. I think we need some tracking devices to help the Police

    Saddle recommendation?

    No, no, no! If it’s says on a tin it’s for e-bikes, it must be for e-bikes

    Helmet lights - what do you use for night time winter riding?

    Red light is less offensive on the eye and doesn’t blind the person on the receiving end. I.e. the eye recovers visibility much faster. Green light is more offensive, but gives you a better details. White and blue light blinds everything in front of you, but it provides best visibility. You...

    Battery has to be removable, but perhaps it should be done by a dealer. Just maybe one has to swing the motor out of the way to get the battery out. I can see two advantages (1) stronger frame with no cut-out on one side, (2) one can seal the battery from water and mud, better. And perhaps (3)...

    So I set myself a middle-age challenge. 60 push-ups within 120-seconds, hanging on the TRX with legs elevated on an exercise half-ball. Currently I do 60 in 150 seconds, I need to get to 120-sec. TRX helps ensure good form, now I am working on the cadence, 1-sec up 1-sec down! What is your...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    I did it once before on my analogue MTB. By mistake I bought two front 29x2.4 Michelin’s. So, on the rear I fitted the tyre with the direction of travel arrow pointing backwards, reasoning that if front is optimised for braking, rear should be optimised for traction. It worked exceptionally...
