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

    Sorry - was reading on phone and a bit too small. The XS is 110g which is lighter than the original X3 which was 120g from memory. I used one of those until my helmet with it on was stolen. The X2 I am currently running is 95g - the new ones are listed as 89g. Except for helmet balance the...

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

    Go back through the thread - there is a pic of my night race set-up. Used to carry the battery in a camelback until I came across some smaller, low-profile batteries.

    The Trek sizer says I am a size "ML" but the Rail only has sizes M and L

    Yup - Med or Large. By your @bikechiq name I am guessing you are female? That being so, if you are not going for a ladies specific bike I would most definitely recommend Medium.

    Bike Park Wales trashed by Scramblers

    Can't type p*o*r*n and get through my companies internet filters. We have them real tight to stop the bosses slacking off and watching things they shouldn't.

    Levo Gen 2 The Rants of an Ancient if new e-MTB-er

    Exactly. Late 60's - early 70's for me on a Raleigh like this. Remove the guards, carrier and lights. Fitted the biggest tires we could source and welded a set of motorcycle bars to the stem to get the right 'feel'. Issues/observations? Well, toe straps are forking dangerous as when you crash...

    You really cant ride an EMTB with a non E biking buddy can you?

    Spent a lot of yesterday riding with all sorts of riders on non powered bikes with no issue. Hell, with a couple guys I just had to let them go on a long flat bit as I was struggling to pedal through the 32kph limit. With 3-4 different power levels and 10-12 different gear ratios it is easy to...

    How to wash a helmet?

    WTF is all this fancy sheet? Drive home with all your kit on then have wife/partner/offspring/dominatrix/handy homeless person give to a good blasting with your pressure washer. To ensure all smells nice and looks spiffing, once the grunge is all off you can mix a bucket or warm water with your...

    New bike advise

    That is an Electric Motorcycle - this is not the place to look for advice for one of those ... AND mountain-bike trails are not the place to ride them.

    Jenson USA Shipping warning

    Meh - bought some MC parts from Japan - arrived in country a month ago and then into a big hole. 3 different parcels sent 3 different Japanese carriers - where it turned to shit was when NZ Post or one of their subsidiaries took over.

    Levo SL Gen 1 SL lighting options? Lupine?

    Came across a guy with integrated lights on his SL the other night - he was pushing home as things went flat a whole lot faster than he had expected.

    Best All-Around EMTB?

    Meh - why not put my 2 cents worth in this thread .... after all @Zimmerframe has cracked at least 1 funny and not referred to which bike crashes the best.... Switzerland .... hmm, a few Swiss brands to choose from but the BMC Speedfox AMP and Scott eGenius are two I have rode and while I am on...

Stop for lunch at Russmans Cafe, Whakamaru (awesome burgers & fries) ... oooo, did I mention some nice cider or ale? then back to Atiamuri. Just a...

    Heavy guy, what tire pressures?

    I am around your weight so maybe can add some input. @Gary is 100% correct though - tire volume and casing is the key. Personally, when I was racing XC and running 2.0-2.1 tires I was around the 30psi range. As I went up in tire volume and started trail riding on more aggressive terrain I...

    Rhain E-MTB

    Just my 2cents worth, but 150/200mm makes no sense. 20 years of MTB and 45+ years of MX - being in on the full suspension MTB evolvement and the long travel MX revolution tells me rear suspension at 80-100% of the front works much better than the other way around. I agree about the Suntour...
