As I've been mountain biking only on my full suspension push bike, KTM has been more of a commuter and around-the-city bike. I decided to make it a bit more practical and replaced the worn out Schwalbe Jumbo Jims with Vee Tire Chicanes. Much smoother and quieter ride now. Surprisingly rolling...

That downtube is huge, so unless you're totally unaware of (e)bikes you can easily tell it's an ebike. But good looking bike anyway. I'd like to see geometry figures for that bike, it seems to have a long stem. Is KTM a step or two behind the current trend of long and slack mtbs? Good...

Good if it's as easy to remove as the current battery setup. I guess most people remove the battery for charging?

I got mine for ~£30. Superstar has frequent -25% sales. Nukeproofs are good too, got them on one bike.

Superstar Nano-X is a great pedal for us bigfoots. The platform is huge.

New tech curiosity and winter commuting.

I have to say Brose is much quieter than my Bosch, actually almost silent :-)

Spring is here! What a beautiful morning to ride to work, only to find out I forgot my laptop at home. But it was even nicer ride back home :-D

It's my trusty juggernaut KTM Macina Freeze 2015. Here's a portrait from the same ride:

We had a bit of fresh snow, so it was a perfect opportunity to for a quick spin last night. I wanted to go ride on ice: On my way to the beach, this is what my bike looked like after a 1.5km (~mile for you imperial people) of street riding: In to the great white open Fancy a dip? Someone...

Tried them (almost) all - and have WTB Pure V on all my bikes. There are models for every price range.

This winter has been really crappy. Just when it gets nice, a bit snow and not too cold, it gets warm and everything melts and turns to ice. And when it has been good enough for riding, I've opted for the push bike :-P But I snapped this one today for your viewing pleasure:

A bit off topic but I scored a used (1000km) 400Wh battery and charger for 150€. This guy had his bike stolen and got money from insurance and just wanted to unload the battery&charger. I even got the original receipt for warranty. Am I lucky or what?

I was once in a bus that slid similarly, but backwards. Luckily no one got hurt. Here's a video of a massive pile-up that happened here few years ago. ~200 cars involved. It's even partly in english for your viewing pleasure:

Great race report.

One of the better looking cheaper e-fatbikes. Long mud guards are good and hard to find for fat bikes. Those big tires throw a ton of crap on your back.

Yes, apparently Bosch told my dealer that it there was an issue with KTM installation and KTM sent my dealer replacement motor and cranks. I got the motor couple of weeks ago and changed it. Works fine now. I put a little bit of blue Loctite and less torque to the bolt. So far so good :) And I...

What a perfect morning for commute, -5 C and few inches of fresh snow. So much fun. It will snow for four days straight :-D We have not had this early snow in 14 years. On snow you really don't need studded tires. Ice is another matter. But I did not bother to change to studded tires last...

Can you over tighten it with only a short 8mm allen key? My torque wrench goes only to 25Nm and the bolt is specced to ~60Nm, which is a lot. Need to buy another tool then...

I actually do that. I've been tightening them all the time when trying to find out the source of the creak (checked motor mounting bolts, seat post, cranks, pedals, headset, rear axle..). But the crank failure was due to something else. Anyone have that part under their left crank arm? This is...
