When I hop on a modern MX bike and ride a SX or modern MX track, but on a vintage bike I wear an open face helmet mostly. On my eMTB my Bell Sixxer is enough for me. Don't wear shin, knee or elbow guards either as they just bug the hell out of me. To be fair - when I ran my 29r fully rigid...

Meh - I just watched it to perv at Margot Robbie.

First ride in a couple months after some clown on a ptibike cleaned me out while I was walking the dog one night. Have watched every series of Star Trek while I was laid up though.

Covid IS real. Have lost friends and family to it ..... no, wait .... I lost friends and family to heart disease, respiratory, liver disease and couple other inflictions - that was exacerbated by the China Virus. That nasty little booger just made things a whole lot worse for them, but in all...

Meh - I went riding today

Haven't watched any of them - thought they were just remakes of the same story with different charachters.

Thought I was being rather restrained ;)

Wasn't too bad.

I got 1000X more excitement riding the Vomit Comet. Don't think we were too far off Bransons altitude either.

Colder this weekend

Usually pads are advertised for 1 caliper (2 pads = 1 set). When advertising front and rear you often see "Full set of pads for front and rear" or something similar. That has been my experience in 20 years or so of using MTB disk brakes.

Turn the motor off on the climbs .... you WILL get tired.

I had a really bad creak that I was struggling to isolate. Turns out the rails on my seat did not match the bracket on the seat post. Swapped saddles and quiet once more.

@AFNZ You will find it totally awesome. Not only will the climbs be a lot quicker and much more fun, but the Rail will be a lot more planted on the fast runs. BTW - I am of the belief Old Chevy was built 20 years before its time .... like it was built with ebikes in mind.

Was that due to a failure, or due to being one of those burning up? If it is the former and the replacement battery is in the serial number range - replace it. Anyone looking would I expect do some homework. A Brand new, never used battery has to be a big plus.

Buggered if I know. However, there is a battery recall I was told about over the weekend that may effect you. If yours is in that lot it will be a lot easier to sell with a spanking new battery.

As a former Pro racer I would like to bring it to your attention ....... no matter how hard you pedal it will not bring the front up when coming short on a double :oops: .............. just sayin :whistle:

Is not a Holy Grail - is just another trend riders are sucked in to. When it comes to 'mullet' I kind of laugh when I am told how it works so much better doing this or that. Just about every time I see a 29/27.5 setup I see maybe a 2.3-2.5 front tire and a 2.5-2.6 (even up to 2.8) rear tire...

Great post Gordon - missed it last time in this thread. I will just reference this small portion though. On a recent ride I came across several trails that were falling apart and needed serious remedial work - all because of horses. They had broken through the top layer and created divots that...
