Already have those! They just don’t do shit for the back of my legs!
You need to put them on the other way round !
How did you manage to do that anyway ? Foot off and slip under pedal ?

I still haven’t figured it out. I did a medium speed low-side to the right. I’m thinking the downtube slammed into the back of my calf. I don’t think it was the pedal, though it may have been.
Could have been the end of the pedal ? With the weight of an ebike, the end of a pedal can do some serious damage ! But even 20-25kg's hitting you with momentum with any of it at the wrong angle is going to hurt ! Hope you're healing up ok anyway.
Will have to up your game on body position !
would be interested to get your impressions of these shoes...particularly in the in wet. i haven't had good experiences with goretex shoes in general but do a lot of riding in the winter/rain, so am interested to see how these are.

That might be a while. Work keeps getting in the way of my riding.

Strictly speaking, I didn't actually buy these this week, but back at the beginning of May.. but some Fox 36's with a Luftkappe arrived this morning.

I'm putting so many more miles on the eMTB that I'm buying new tires about every two months. I've never run the Assegai's before, so I'm curious if they can be pushed harder than the DHF's.

Last prezzie, which was about a month ago was a gopro hero7 (white) I simply stopped into Evans cycles to get some gels and come out with the gopro
Next prezzie though isnt going to be bought, but made. I'm looking at ideas on constructing a rain jacket, to cover the main electrics and rear shock. Not 100% waterproof, more to protect it from the worst of the weather, so I dont have streams of water running down the seat tube into the motor area, or being kicked up from the front wheel directly onto the motor housing and battery cover.
Felt as the frame is blue, maybe a nice blue camo pattern, I might even go so far as to have SCOTT screen printed(or however thats done) onto the cover for some extra identity tartiness.

In my opinion, yes!
I've spent years running DHF/DHRII (F/R) and I can push the ASSEGAI much harder in the turns vs DHF.
Edit: Unless you are referring to comparing mileage between the two... I could care less how long a tire lasts if it checks all other boxes for me. While everyone has different priorities, for me, it's all about the way a tire performs when I need it to, not how many miles it will last.
The previous rear tire (DHR II) was retired at 510 miles.
Current front (DHF) has 835 miles, and should be good for another 200.
Terrain is typical Socal: rugged singletrack, chunk, big rocks, etc.
Cool. That's what I'm hoping for. I don't really have any complaints with the DHF, but sometimes it will slide when pushed over the "loose over hard" terrain. I imagine that there are no tires that will solve that problem, but I'm curious what the Assegai has to offer.

Purchased some stealth decals for my fox36 fork from ridedecals, but not really happy with the quality of them as the sizes don't quite match the existing ones so I think I'll stick with the factory ones for now

Thought i would give these a try over the next few month
Oh yes, good choice. Done two rides on my new front Mary in Ultrasoft. No slippage what so ever and great confidence tyre.

Not sure when I can get round to testing but already made external battery mod to the chest mount 
mudguard orings twisted around the power bank external battery onto the chest mount plate. Holds it very firmly in place so not have to worry about camera battery.

It's not a go pro, the batteries on this are piss poor at best.
