    Covid 19 worries !

    Hand sanitiser is just alcohol - substitute for vodka and use 1/2 shot on your hands and 2 shots to disinfect your throat.

    Meta power 2018/2019 bike size

    I'm 191 and have 2019 Signature XL. Seat post is extended about 7cm out of frame. My leg length is similar to yours. If I could have anything it would be a higher stack height - Canyon do much higher stack height. I thing the 2020 integrated is also higher by about 3cm.

    From Truck to Trail - What did you do to get your bike Ride Ready?

    I'll have to measure it later. I wouldn't classify myself as downhill or extreme so wouldn't have a need for it that low.

    From Truck to Trail - What did you do to get your bike Ride Ready?

    The post on mine is 175mm and I have found it seems too low at times. I recently raised it 0 5 cm and find it has helped. I probably have about 6cm of the adjustable part protruding as I'm 6 foot 3.

    From Truck to Trail - What did you do to get your bike Ride Ready?

    I have the Signature (wife has the Race) and the 8000 switch and over bar dropper release are a nightmare to get sorted for a comfortable ergonomic layout.

    I demoed Canyon Spectral and Neuron, but due to delivery problems cancelled and bought the Commencal Meta 29 Power Signature based on a comparative review of that and the Spectral. Love it. Ride mostly Dorset trails, man made and natural and couple of parks. I'm 61, 105kg and have XL - It's...

    Weight vs Battery Life, getting the partner a eMTB and other ramblings...

    The below is an interesting comparison test. I bought my wife the same bike as me (one model down as she preferred the colour). Both are Commencal Meta 29 Power. She was timid off road but has started to ride fire trail and easy single track due to the comfort and confidence given by such a...

    Riding : How wet is too wet ?

    Another good reason for avoiding the canal would be where it may have breached the bank and me more than a few inches deep but you can't see the bottom. I ride in dorset and it's very hard to tell the depth of puddles on clay and chalk tracks with horses and tractors!

    I have jumped from 9sp to 12sp and didn't realise the newer ones need a tool / judicious use of pliers!
