    Focus Jam ² - Nicest eMTB yet?

    If you have the second battery it is wired in as they quote the capacity for two batteries as 756 Wh. Which is a lot, a big lot. Probably a LOT

    Growbags or pots

    Do you not find the rain water goes green in the clear tanks? I keep 2100 gallons of unfiltered rain water off a couple of sheds, in seven 300 gallon black plastic tanks that were used for syrup. Had them for 15 + years still going strong, I use a submersible pump to get the water out, that...

    Haibike... Bosch or Yamaha?

    Sorry to upset all the Bosch fan boys, I really like Yamaha system. If you want a Mountain Bike that is a strong climber and will take you the same places as a mountain goat, Haibike will not disappoint, good looking well made bikes. Try both engines as they are very different in how they...

    Complete Wheel set for 29er

    I would like two sets (4) of interchangeable wheels. I am not a great tinkerer so will find the fourth Tektro disk and then hope it all lines up! Still waiting for the magnet for the speed sensor as well, there's always something.

    Complete Wheel set for 29er

    The Mary is SG and I would say the same protection as the Smart Sams greenguard, but you need to handle a Mary to know what a lump it is. Marathon plus MTB's are the next level similar to the Big Ben's in thickness of puncture protection. The wheel weight is a new consideration, perhaps not...

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    What Chris didn't say is that one section was so fast and rough that the can of Coke in my bike bag burst. This is the section Chris goes down like a greased pig, there is no catching him downhill, he is possessed. It was so rough I had to slow down as I could not keep my feet on the pedals...
