    Because I'm worth it......

    My ghetto front mudguard for inverted front forks. Also a major design cock up, as I stupidly neglected to think about the suspension travel!!! :D:oops: At least the home made sticker wasn't a design failure. :) Gaz, what's with the saddle angle?

    Night ride

    Due not feeling overly well, I haven't been on the bike for a couple of weeks, and was actually a little frustrated by just how muddy that conditions were last night. I need to further avoid tracks that horses use, and people walk. Ref a ride, it would be a pleasure to take you on a ride...

    Night ride

    Last night. Before. After. During. This photo does nothing to show the true steepness of the bank, that leads to a stream crossing. I usually tackle this section in reverse, and have looped the bike on two occasions trying to get up. It's doable, but you do have to be committed to the...

    News: NEC Cycle Show: 22nd to 24th September

    From reading Facebook, you are far from being the only person to have encountered a poor experience when visiting the Bosch stand.

    NEC Cycle Show 2017: Wisper e-MTBs, Swytch & other highlights

    The KTM Lycan and Mondraker hardtail both certainly look very nice. Beyond those two, there isn't anything that catches my eye or interests me.

    What cranks on Bosch?

    It is seemingly quite a common practice to change the pedal crank length for this very reason. Personally, I have never found it an issue, be it riding around my local terrain, or in rocky terrain found in the alps. I tend to look at the terrain ahead, and use my pedal stroke accordingly to...

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    The first time that I visited Lauterbrunnen, was about thirty one years ago, and we arrived at night time, and I hadn't even see a photo of the place. Waking up in the morning and looking outside will be a memory that will stay with me forever. I just couldn't believe the sheer scale and the...

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    I was looking at the weather webcam for Kleine Scheidegg a couple of days ago, and noted that they already have snow. It looks to be pretty general judging by your photos. Once again, I am very envious. :)

    Is there such a thing...

    At least he would ride it like he stole it. :D

    And to you. Here's to thousands of trouble free off road miles. :)

    Bosch - New eMtb mode

    Your experience of the system is clearly different from mine, and I see no reason that you should be so dismissive or inflammatory, just because my experience does not match that of your own. I really can't be bothered to waste any more of my time on this matter, and subject to finding time to...

    Bosch - New eMtb mode

    Kind of ironic given your incorrect information in respect of software removal. I fail to see why you can't just accept that eMTB mode doesn't necessarily suit the needs or requirements of everyone, and to this end it fails miserably at meeting mine. I have been riding eMTB's long enough to...

    Bosch - New eMtb mode

    I can assure you that thankfully it is removable. Evidently the US based shop that you have weirdly chosen to quote, just don't know how to do it. .

    Bosch Battery/Charger issue

    Ref the battery chargers, I have two Bosch chargers, and with one them the light goes out when the battery is fully charged, and with the other it doesn't. From swapping chargers, it does appear that the one that the light doesn't go out, still charges correctly, but I have no idea why the...

    Chain jumping/slipping under load

    Just an observation from your first photo. Is the wheel sitting completely in the rear drop out?

    Tight link in chain?

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    Another night, and another night ride. I managed to actually get a bit lost this evening, which is perhaps daft given that it was in a part of woodland that I frequently ride in. The winds over the last few days had brought several small trees down, and it changed the whole appearance and...

    Dowsing for Water

    Then being blunt, you are a fool to think that the size of the leak won't increase over time. And a fool not to take steps to repair the leak.
