    Bosch KIOX retrofit

    Nicely done, I’m thinking of doing the same. Have you managed to find the top-top mount or will you be keeping it on the stem?

    Gutted, I know that feeling. I had this beautiful custom BMX a few years back and I got rid, and it pains me when I think about it. Didn’t need to sell it but did and regretted it. I’m keeping the SC, even though it may not get much use now. If I sell it I’ll forever be kicking myself so if...

    Thanks ? My son rides BMX and was training regularly at Cyclopark in Gravesend. I ended up doing laps of the MTB course over the winter. Got a little bit repetitive after about 8 laps but better than nothing I guess. Never been to Epping Forest but heard it’s ace. I’m watching the South East...

    Best exercise I’ve found to help strengthen everything and doesn’t cause my shoulder to hurt is tyre flips. Got hold of a big ‘ol tractor tyre and started flipping it round the garden. Also been smashing it with a sledgehammer. Actually very therapeutic. And so far, shoulders been ok ? ?

    I’ll have to sell one of the other kids to make that happen, which is tempting after working from home for the last 3 months ??

    Glad to hear that you don’t see much ebike hate. I think you’re spot on regarding the affordability point too, they aren’t exactly cheap (I still can’t get my head around how much they cost)!!

    Mine was a grade 3 separation too. Should have had surgery at the time but doc talked me out of it as I had a ‘desk job’ and that essentially meant I didn’t really need my shoulder to work properly......wish I’d id taken the surgery at the time. Wind forward a few years and after too much...

    I think I’ll ride the trek for a while and see whether I end up using the SC, don’t really want to sell it but don’t want it to become an expensive piece of decor ?

    Love that ‘like a FFWD button for the shite bits’!! Very true Doesn’t matter how tough your legs are, if you can make the climbs easier the entire ride will be better ??

    Hi all. Great to be part of the group. First post here. I did it. I took the plunge and went analogue to digital. My Trek Rail 9.8 XT is arriving tomorrow and I can’t wait. I started riding MTB 15 years ago, but an accident resulting in a separated shoulder put a kybosh on my riding for 10...
