Steve Jones Left EMBN

[OldGoatMTB]

That’s the question! He seems to have just disappeared, lately. Anyone know anything?

 

[Dirtnvert]

I think he's just on a big trip. Theu hinted at content/stories to come

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

clickbait tabloid headlines

 

[Gary]

He deserves a break.There are only so many shitey uphill cycling challenges you can put an older man through. even with a motor.

 

[#lazy]

Being welsh he’s used to them

 

[Jackware]

Presumably they're allowed holidays as well?

Yes, they're definitely having trouble coming up with new material. I skipped right over the "Which is faster, bikes or scooters?" vid.

 

[Rich the gasman]

If you follow embn then you would know he’s on a trip ?‍

 

[BrentD]

Abroad filming for the new Shimano motor launch (and likely new bike models using dropping) which is imminent?

That one wasn’t too bad.

It’s the ones where CS thinks riding down the road doing massive wheelies and other tricks in your middle age is a cool thing to do which I tend to skip

 

[Gary]

Hmmm...

Spidey senses a bitter old man who can't wheelie or manual or do any tricks on his multi thousand pound Ebike

Just upset I never made it into the bike vault ?

Wha ???
I saw a video of Steve Jones on EMBN 3 days ago .
And 4 days before that .




Might have more to do with algorithms than him leaving the show ...

 

[R120]

With lockdown etc GMBN/EMBN are having to scrape the barrel for content

 

[Beekeeper]

To be fair, it is still enjoyable and played a big part in motivating me to get an ebike.
I’ve been looking at the subscription figures and and they are getting an additional 1000 subscribers each week to the channel

To be fair to EMBN they get all their ideas from reading this forum, so it's OUR FAULT the content has been a bit weak lately.

Interesting they're running Maxxis tyres, not the Spesh (Butchers?) that come stock.

here’s an idea for them then...

how does weight affect range? 10% weight reduction = 10% extra range? How does the gradient affect this figure? I’m sure they would have fun with that one. Could add known weights to the bike and see what the results are.

you read it here first folks ?

Focus bikes did a vid on this sometime ago , probably still on their site

 

[Beekeeper]

Also another good one would be a revisit of the de restricted mountain bike v top of the range road bike on a test track.

The last time they did it the road bike won because they used a derestrictor on the actual sensor of the ebike which still had a cut off at about 30mph if I remember correctly.

if they used a Speedbox instead which has a much higher cutoff then I think that really would be an interesting race.

Lots of subscribers, but not a lot of views. Most of their recent videos have less than 20,000 views and more popular ones maybe 50,000. Seth puts out a video and it goes into the hundreds of thousands immediately. Really atrocious numbers given the production costs. Wonder if their sponsors are ever going to figure this out?

Speaking of Seth, has the original channel gone away? It seems to have been consolidated into Berm Peak Express. When did that happen?

There's a 40 minute ish video explaining that from the other day .. ultimately, how many hacks are there - which are any good .. So re-focusing on what to actually expect ..

 

[Zimmerframe]

Not sure the class but the 2020 megaavalanche race one class had more girls on the podium than dudes.

The ladies race ?

and of course our Rob. He’s cool but if he added a hot babe there would me a million subscribers.

He's done a few vids with the Bike Pilot, not to mention a couple with Chris from Berkshire Cycles. Just how much eye candy can a viewer handle on one channel ?

 

[stiv674]

When in the hell are we gonna get a hot babe hosted Mountainbike channel!?!? Germany has one that’s alright miss peaches

I get that you won’t find many skilled mountain biking babes but it has to be getting more common. Not sure the class but the 2020 megaavalanche race one class had more girls on the podium than dudes.

The other channels with a chick and dude are just setting up clickbait when the chick is at the right angle. And it gets me every time.

Also what’s up with y’all brits? Seem all in to that music show dude and this embn dude. As far as I’m concerned the only Brit side show worth watching was the old top gear.... and of course our Rob. He’s cool but if he added a hot babe there would me a million subscribers. -end rant.

You could always search on Pornhub for 'girls on bikes' if that's your thing

 

[MrSimmo]

We definitely need more girls joining and promoting the sport.

For me because I've got two daughters and I'm doing everything I can to get them into mountain bikes ?

 

[MitchF]

Easy gents......they have jobs, driving licence and the Vote as it is.
We need to protect the sanctity of OUR sport ??⏱?
Out best TV show was old Top Gear, come on fella. From a nation that gave us Friends and The Simpson’s ?

Funnily enough, that one wasn't too bad mainly because Chris was sending it on the scooter.

Yeah but Spesh bikes and a Spesh employee riding.

They've done that one already.
