Hey y'all - from the Tron on the banks of the Mighty Waikato. Definitely a shortage out there. Anyone desperately needs a new bike they are struggling to receive anything until mid year or later. Just picked up an Avanti e-Hammer LT2 as a second bike and that was through who I know and naff...

Oh yer - the first 3 replies nailed it.

Bike theft is not really anything new and have seen all sorts of security measures foiled. I always by the philosophy of not letting my bike outr of my sight when it is not in my garage. The only exception is when I take a shower after a ride at a certain bike park. The bike is locked on my...

Meh - this place is for the most part quite civilized compared to many. Perhaps the biggest issue is that people seem to have thin skins these days and don't seem to handle criticism very well, or taking an inciteful response as sarcasm. Sometimes a pisstake can be taken as serious, or a...

I have several friends with Sur-Rons etc, but they ride them on MX tracks or private land and not mountainbike trails so not an issue. I have however come across many an ebike with thumb throttle out on the trails and when they are Cheebs with 'Ludicrous Mode' they are a very real problem.

DVSA prosecutes UK company illegally supplying unrestricted e-(motor)bikes (cyclingindustry.news)

LMAO - back in the 80's my MX sponsor had a kit made of Barbie Pink & Light Grey. My wife laughed so much I refused to race with it. Pretty sure they are still on display somewhere with abig RUSTY on the butt patch :oops:

Welcome. Can't comment too much on the Giant as my only experience was testing older models before going with a Scott. I have seen a couple guys on Giants with Garmin units so I guess they connect. When I had my Levo I always paired it with my phone, but the Spesh app used to drain my...

Well, that was a short ownership. After about 3.5km I was heading back to the trail start to return it to the dealer for a refund. After breaking a couple vertabrae twice I can't wear a backpack without seriously overheating due to nerve damage. This bike has bosses for a bottle, but even my...

Six of one, half dozen of the other. Not sure of any significant price difference, but personally I prefer the line of internal. And I will say it too, except for that bogus connector cable the way the battery fits in a Spesh is nice. I really dislike the key/lock bullshit. If I was...

Oh, and RM customer service is full of shit - .... Specs as from Rocky Mountain Race Face Aeffect Cinch 34T | 24mm Spindle | Crank Length: SM - MD = 165mm | LG - XL = 170mm

A bit on the longish side for an ebike. Have 165 and they are OK, but would be more than happy to go to 160, but if I rode with flats I really would have to go 160 - or 155. 170mm with flats would almost be like having a kick-stand :D

Staying in box until the Kiox controller arrives - hopefully tomorrow. Don't want to ride it with the Purion as I know I will damage it. Have decided for my backup bike I could live with an alloy frame. Can't really justify a couple more - or $3k to $4K realistically for another CF bike.

Have ordered a Kiox kit for my bike arriving next week. Personally, I am happy with the screens with 1 exception. I run the power level screen and will switch to others when we have a stop for something, but would prefer the power meter size to be about 1/3 small and make the battery life 100%...

Hell, I use my thumbs mostly.

There is a lock adjustment tool.

We swapped Shimano brakes for someone Monday evening - basic 2 pot SLX units for 4 pot DeoreXT, as well as the levers. Just unscrewed the old calipers and fitted the new ones. Did the same with the levers. However - it depends on the year/model as some have the slip-in fit and some the...

Loves me the Bosch motor & the Ransom looks pretty nice and rides well. The Whyte looks good too. Over Spesh so won't comment. I will say however, look at the components and look at the price. - then go for the one that gives you the best componentry for your dollar.

I like the mount on my 900 Tuned - have used the screw to hold it on though as I didn't want any light fingered git pinching it if I forgot to take it off. I figure if I crash hard enough to damage it I would have done enough damage tomybody to not really care about it.

Not really - has a bloody great screen hanging off it. Of all the requests I see on many forums is ..... 'Does anyone have a Purion controller I can buy - I broke mine.' Fortunately many swap their Purion for a Kiox so there are a lot of spares around.
