    Ebike Acceptance

    I have some to the conclusion that a 40k ride on an eMTB is more beneficial to you than a 40k ride on an unpowered bike. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . If you do it with your motor powered off. There - I have spoken and made a definitive declaration. Prove me wrong.

    Other Specialized Canceled Order

    They gave you an answer - just because you don't like it there is no reason to pull out the racism card. Quitye frankly, BS like that is why many tend to ignore real racism ..... sad, but true. FACT - the supply of certain models worldwide is lacking - not just ebikes. FACT - most manufacturers...

    Thoughts on Trance E+1 pro motor bearing failure?

    First up, Giant in NZ has always been slack with warranty. Now it is run from Australia I am told they are even worse. And yes, I doubt very many bike shops have done anything more than drop a motor and fit the replacement - hell, a lot of them wont even do that I am told and many make a...

    Ebike Acceptance

    A very good friend lost his son to wire strung up along a trail in California that was legal for motorcycles with a Green Sticker. The Sierra Club defended the person that made the trap and pretty much encouraged such behavior. I consider them a terrorist organization that should have been...

    Multiple emtbs ?

    Had 2 for a while - Shimano powered Scott and a Levo. Only reason I got the Levo was for the 700Wh battery. Preferred the handling of the Scott to the Spesh and really liked the Shimano motor. Just 1 Scott at the moment - with the Bosch motor. Thinking of a Cheeb but will wait a couple...

    Levo Gen 2 Are you running a FOX X2 on a Levo? then read this

    A couple comments - having been a test rider with the original Fox air shocks for MX back in the 70's and also being fortunate to test the Kayaba units a few months later ... then using air forks and shocks on my MTB since they first came out. Firstly, I have had some grit get under a seal and...

    Mission Control Mission Control GPS Errors?

    I have found that turning off 'Improved Accuracy' on a Samsung phone and using GPS only gives me much more accurate tracking.

    When do you finally learn to "look where you want to go"?

    I walk every track I race - even if I raced there the week before. It is amazing how you can find a new line walking a section backwards.

    When do you finally learn to "look where you want to go"?

    First time I hit a tree I learned not to look at them. Kind of weird really as decades back I learned not to look at the landing lip of double jumps on the MX bikes - works the same way.

    Old blokes who should know better.....

    Please don't suggest that to @dobbyhasfriends ..... Crash Test Dummy is @Zimmerframe 's job. And he takes it very seriously.

    How far do you drive with your bike?

    1 - 2 Hours to get to some of the best riding areas in the southern hemisphere. Helped build the local track 20 something years ago and maintained it until around 10 years past. No longer ride there as it just does not fizz me anymore. Subsequent track managers have worked at dumbing down...
