I am considering fitting a toe bar to my BMW and then using tow bar mounted bike rack. I intend carrying 2 EMTBS. Looking at options I have short listed 2 racks and I am wondering if anyone here has experience of either one to help me decide. Option 1: Thile EPOS 2 bike carrier Option 2...

Advice please. Bike is 2022 E160 RSX. I have a minor problem with the dropper post. When slammed if I then operate the lever to raise the post it releases the post but I have wait a couple of seconds for it to lock in place. I tried removing the post and despite removing the battery and feeding...

Looks like California has tightened regulations on "EBikes" in Senate Bill 1271 passed in September. It bans throttles on class 1 and class 3 bikes but allows throttles on Class 2 bikes...but only up to 20mph. Maximum motor power for all classes 750w. New battery certification regulations as well.

I have SRAM Transmission obviously including a flat top chain. So how are you guys checking chain wear?? I have read conflicting information and some that makes little sense to me!! SRAM appear to recommend changing chain at 0.8% wear as tested with either a stupidly expensive SRAM chain...

It appears Yamaha have informed their US dealers that they are withdrawing from the emtb market at the end of 2024. There is no information about their activities in other international markets or indeed their supply of motors to brands like Giant and Haibike.

Predictably the EU and UK auto industry in general is suffering largely due to ill considered Govt policies to force greater production of EVs etc. The German Auto industry seems more impacted than most with the real prospect of factory closures, and it is not just the car manufacturers but the...

Anyone interested in an Endura Singletrack Bib Liner? I bought this a couple of weeks ago and have worn it twice ( ps not worn commando......Under Armour compression shorts underneath). It is size large and I usually fit that size from Endura in shorts/trail pants/ jerseys etc but whilst this...

Whist speculation of Bosch gen 5 is rife and DJI is stealing the headlines, not much is being discussed about the new ZF motor and eco system. ZF is huge automotive parts manufacturer with an enviable reputation for the supply of class leading components. It has a " Micro Mobility division...

The "waist" I am referring to here is that part of your body just above your hips which may or may not be smaller than your hips!! I always wear UA shorts as a first layer ....obviously with a waist band. If I then wear armoured shorts and trail shorts that makes 3 items all with waistbands...

I have never had any hand, wrist arm pain when riding......except since having my 2024 bike with AXS T type I have noticed some soreness at the base of my thumb on my right hand. I do quite a bit of manual work and am left handed so I do not have "office" hands. My hypothesis as to the cause is...

thought this might be useful (see attached). Could anyone with the same bike tell me whether the B stop adjuster on their GX AXS mech is aligned with A or B please.

About 150 miles on my 2024 E160 RSX and I am so impressed I had to comment!. I bought an E160 RSX when they first launched in June 2022 and it performed flawlessly for over 1000 miles and was so pleased with that bike I decided to buy the same bike again in May 24. The only real spec difference...

I have used Oakley Jawbreaker mtb glasses for quite a few years and always used the "Low Light" lens in them. Most of my riding is in Forests and as any of you who ride forest trails will know, as soon as you enter a section with a lot of tree cover any lens with more light filter puts you in...

My rear wheel is DT Swiss HX 1700 with the XD ratchet freehub. Yesterday I decided to remove the cassette and service the freehub but could not get the end cap to budge. It did eventually give way but broke in the process...............the thin flange at the end sheared off. So I need a new end...

Just got this from a small supplier in Germany on ebay. If you have Kiox 300 kit fitted but remove the actual display unit, the interface contacts are left exposed. This little cover keep them protected from water and dust.

Reluctantly decided to sell my Whyte E180 RS. The bike was purchased originally from Leisure Lakes in August 2020 but the owner suffered a medical problem and I bought it from him in September 2020 with 50 miles on the clock. The bike has been completely faultless ever since covering c 970...

All of this may be old hat to many of you but maybe helpful to some! Flow App: I just bought a second Bosch Smart System bike, meaning I have 2. I tried pairing Flow to the new bike without success but it meanwhile connects straightaway with the other bike. I found I had to delete the app from...

If you have one Bosch Smart System bike using the LED Remote only and another Bosch smart System bike using the LED Remote together with a KIOX 300....................and you wanted the KIOX information on both bikes, what do you think is the best way forward?? A) Get the bar mount, cradle and...

It seems to me that there are now not many pure trail EMTBs with a decent component spec........a lot of bikes are more on the long/slack Enduro or Super Enduro side of things. I have that type of bike well covered but some of my rides are more XC type riding.....bridleways, byways, single...
