When the belt on my Spesh started stripping I got off and pushed it a long way back to the trail head - only coasting down hill.
Even though I knew it was a warranty issue, right from the time I started riding MX bikes I gained a fine appreciation as to when I should shut the sucker down. Too...
My first eMTB came with the 20kph (15mph) restriction - if the dealer had not bumped it to 32lph (25mph) he would have had a returned bike on his hands as "Not fit for purpose." Hell, I was 60 then and the only trails I was quicker on the eMTB were those with lots of climbing. Many of the...
Have mine screwed on with the Scott & just hanging there with the mag on the Avanti. Don't jump big shit anymore and try very hard not to crash these days so it seems to work.
Lower voltages and lower power drawer with laptop chargers. Saying that, I would get 1 or 2 calls a week to see if we have a charger for some laptop or another in stock. The bigger ones always seem to outlast the small ones.
A good example is for a client I supplied 50 notebooks a couple years...
Coming from a Moto background and not adverse to a few tricks I initially went for flats but fouind myself changing. Way back I found myself a lot more comfortable with SPDs as when I came across a hole some clown had dug or a drainage channel on a trail I found it much easier to 'lift' the...
Ride by ride. Started today going up Apoamoana in Tour and was at 82% at the top, but at the bottom of Te Poaka I was showing 85%. Think there is some smart tech going on under the hood.
I hate to tell you, but my time on my road training ride on my singlespeed just a few years ago was over 30kph average. My road bike speed was only about 1.5kph faster average for the 1hr loop. Most of the trails I ride, my times on my singlespeed or my 12x2 Scott Genius are faster than on my...
Haven't rode a Trek since the first one I tested - and disliked. However, geo changes and the new motor have made a huge difference I am told.
From my experience I have a Scott carbon with the G4 motor and an Avanti alloy with thesame G4, updated to Kiox to match the Scott. Each bike has areas...
I wanna borrow an ebike and ride Saddleback Park next time I am home - even if I do have to wander around with a weed wacker first. Most of the other tracks I raced Moto are long gone now.
Giant have a bad habit of baulking on frame warranties - at least their distributors in several markets do. Sometimes they just have to suck it up - kind of like 10/12 years ago when they had issues with Trance frames in XL. At my club we had 5 riders with them and every one of them had a...
