Forum Updates

[Rob Rides EMTB]

I will add to this as I add more functionality to the Forum.

21/1/18

• Can now bookmark posts. You’ll see a bookmark option at the bottom of each post. How many times have you read a particular post in a forum that you knew you'd want to refer back to at some point in the future, only to go crazy trying to find it again a few weeks or months down the road? Well, this neat little add-on eliminates that by allowing you to easily bookmark those kinds of posts and store them so you can easily find them later on.
• Tag users sends an email alert. For example, @Rob tagged in a thread will email me to let me know someone is calling my name.

It just gets better and better

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Added a bike review forum. This has a set structure that allows you to submit a bike review, upload a picture etc, and rate out of 10.

How weird is that. I have just this second sent you a pm about having a review section for bikes, accessories and services.


'Workshop' could be another good one to have.

I literally just replied to that!

Hopefully the review section, like you mentioned in your PM, will become a valuable resource for the EMTB community

Thanks
Rob.

Great addition to the forum.
Cheers!

Hi Rob, the review section doesn't really configure very well, in respect of layout for accessories.

For accessories at least, the normal forum layout appears to work/look better. Review of a Magicshine Eagle F3 MTB/eMTB front light.

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Hi Eddie,

I agree, the new section is for bikes. I’ll add a section for accessories that is more relevant as soon as I get some time.

Thanks
Rob.

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Added new product review section. Also upped attachment limit to individual posts from 15 to 25.

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Added bikes for sale section. Anyone selling anything?!

See if you can post a link on the eMTB smiles fb group. Or at least I think that is what it's called.

I was blocked from it a very long time back, and can't remember the exact name.

I still think that Instagram is a good source for you as well. Keep posting the photos on there.

Thanks @EddieJJ I managed to do that. Why are you blocked?

 

[EddieJ]

No idea Rob.

I guess that it is my hatred of dongles and other such tuning devices.

I see he read the deristricting section ?

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

I changed the logo. I wasn't 100% happy with the old one. It's funny how a logo can make you 'feel'. This one is certainly different.

I am having a site enduro style Jersey made up for myself with the website logo etc and it wouldn't have printed well. Needed something that stood out better on mobile devices.

 

[Doomanic]

I could do with a new long sleeve jersey, what's the price and do you have any pics?

Yes, my cost price is £36 - Pics as soon as the design is finished

 

[Pottsy]

I liked the old one...

Ha! I know, me too, but I couldn't get anyone to consider printing that at all, and I couldn't get people I know to understand what it was without explaining it to them. The jerseys would not have worked with that logo. This is the new 'brand mark' that works a lot better on phones etc:

Is new logo taking it's que from the Specialised logo.

Subliminal messaging

LOL

[Rob Rides EMTB]

No intention there at all haha!

Jerseys designs:

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

The middle jersey of the 3 is off to be produced ?

 

[Doomanic]

What sizes are available and who makes it? Some cycling suppliers ideas of XL and above are laughable.

It’s made by Ride It Clothing: Home

They are supposed to be high quality. Has a side zip pocket and lens wipe under the hem too. I have ordered a few different sizes upto XXL ? (I have ordered a very small batch from S to XXL).

“The limited new EDGE jersey combines an awesome look with the technology and popular features of our previous jerseys including high tech breathable, fast wicking material and the side zipper pocket and lens wipe under the hem.
A comfortable fit and high durability make this a jersey worth having.”

 

[ccrdave]

Can you get me one in fat barstard size Rob please

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

I have made the tagged username stand out. So if you want to summon someone’s attention to a thread use this tag by using the @ tag, eg @Doomanic

 

[Doomanic]

Double fat barstard size for me please @Rob

 

[ccrdave]

@Rob how do we order

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

@ccrdave @Doomanic - amazing thank you, I didn’t anticipate that people want them, initially was going to be just for me but was a bit cheaper if I could get an order of 10, thank you for your interest!! I will set up another thread so I can make sure I get the right sizes for the batch that is about to be sent. PS - just to let you know that it’s about 4 week turnaround for these
