    2022 Winter gear.

    Underarmour cold gear top and leggings. Sealskinz socks. 100% Briskers. If it's dry, Endura Singletrack trousers and the jacket, if wet, MT500 spray trousers. Swap the Assegai/DHR out for Shorties and prepare to swear about bringing the battery indoors from the garage.. I normally ride my...

    Which under seat bag do you use?

    I don't saddlebag but do use a dakine hotlaps gripper bag that goes round the top tube and nestles up to the down tube. Could run it as a saddlebag I suppose. Spare inner tube in the battery compartment on the whyte and another strapped to the down tube of sommet: Easy to move my core tools...

    Dirt Jumps on an Ebike

    Ha old dog.. Man, I'm nearly 50 and eyeing up jump bikes for pump track and maybe some dirt jumps. Great vid, subbed.

    Article Ebike won’t start in the cold!?

    Whyte have a similar thing, undo one bolt to remove the battery cover and the battery power button is accessible through a hole in the down tube. Well thought out.

    Looking for a good jacket/coat

    I've got one of those. It's good but they cheaped out on the hood stowage, hard to get it looking nice. Other than that, it's great.

    Anyone doing the Southern Enduro?

    Was intending on doing it on my Sommet in the Fun category but I don't think I'll have the fitness so Whyte it is and the Ebikes over 40 category. First round is 11th April at Milland, West Sussex. Should be a bit of fun.

    Breathable waterproof shorts?

    This is all very interesting stuff. Just come back from getting soaked by puddles and mud and the cold wet pad in my liners was not ideal for the hours drive back home. I like the idea of the all in ones but have an endura singletrack waterproof shell I quite like and am thinking about the mt500...

    To go full face or not that’s the question?

    I normally wear Giro Chronicle, IXS Carve vest and POC VPD knees - for Bedgebury or Peaslake, that combo felt about right. But I had a fairly high speed crash at Danbury a couple of weeks ago, made a mess of one knee, an ankle (ebikes are heavy when they land on you!) and the Purion. Felt the...

    Pic of the Day

    I'm in the Peak District. I don't have my eeeb or any bike, no room in the car with kids and dog. Will be buying a tow bar carrier.. Shame, some great looking tech here:

    Brakes problem.. (Code R, RSC and lever throw)

    Yeah think you are right and I agree, that could happen but I'm balancing (or at least trying to) low and high after I've added that slug of fluid at the caliper end with some flexing of the pad spreader and squeezing of the lever. I thought with this design of lever, the expansion was into an...

    Brakes problem.. (Code R, RSC and lever throw)

    This is true but I'm talking about pressurising the low pressure part of the system at the caliper, not the high pressure side at the lever. That final push on the syringe at the lever is to ensure the lever is full of fluid and any compression is lost when the syringe is removed.

    Brakes problem.. (Code R, RSC and lever throw)

    I've had plenty of woes with the Code R's fitted to my Whyte. I've come from 15 year old Hope 4 pots and the Code R brakes left much to be desired; spongy, lack of braking force and horrendous lever travel. Bled the rear, lots of air in it, a little better but still lacking force and too much...

    eMTB or not eMTB

    Crikey. I was at Bedgebury on Saturday morning, thrashing the Whyte in Turbo. Did 26 miles and I had one bar left! Could have gone for a 4th lap and still been out before 11 but the range anxiety was strong.
