Your definately still refering to peddling beyond motor though, iv rode restricted bikes, Not for me.. But the weight is no disadvantage to me or my buddies, And as iv allready pointed out, thousands of others do just fine on them over 20kg bikes. Were all from an MX, Enduro background, Perhaps...
The weight of an e'bike is good everywhere, jumping included, im not a big jumper but a lot of the blokes i ride are, not a problem for them, or the thousands iv seen on you tube etc.
Yes a restricted bike sucks, but thats peddling, not cornering, jumping or popping..
I'm with you on this, im 173 tall and prefer a big 29'er, like to have to pull a bike over to steer it, Mullets seem to steer too quick break loose at the rear, Plummed plus others might call it agile, party at the back etc, But its just loose to me, and at speed dodgy...
It's Suprising how much difference a pair of heavy carcus tyres make to the bike, Like you say frames are light, its everything in or on it, The battery must weigh as much as everything else..
Luvvly jubbly, i'v got an ext e storia waiting up mojo's, trying get half a day to go out with jack any try it. Must say the X2 has been perfect in there though, Cant say the same about the 38's..
i'v just dialed back into full 29 and im happy...
It's definately you smoking the rock pal... You go use your fancy pump on your shit shock, ill use my adequate pump on my good shock and weel all live happily ever after...
Dont think the Dude Going to be put off by you telling him to get an awsome pump and not buy himself a better shock, We all...
But how would i do my forks ?! iv got two pumps, digital for the garage, small analogue for my rucksack, iv allways got a pump with me, And i always read the gauge, But lets be honest, Only a
retard would pick a fancy pump over a decent shock...
Again all the pump does is pump up your shock...
Now that really is silly.... The pump just pumps... you could rip the gauge off your shit or top end pump it and will still pump your shock to your prefered sag...
Get a good shock and a shit pump, not a shit shock and a good pump...
