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...
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...
My codes have been good as gold since changing to trickstuff power po pads and following this bleed procedure: Brakes problem.. (Code R, RSC and lever throw) - EMTB Forums
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.
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.
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...
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...
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:
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...
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.
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...
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.
