    New Speeding Fines

    I'll never complain about the UK police again, for speeding that is. I should point out I have no points and usually stick to speed limit, but not always. I drive up and down the M20 corridor and if I did 70mph, I honestly feel in danger. Anyway.. I was stupid enough to be in new car / holiday...

    Tyre advice please

    Not very helpful, but i wouldn't it's such personal choice. Take your time and do your research and ride as many as you can, then decide. I've waited 000's on bike from not being patient. Good luck.

    Tyre advice please

    If you really want a full suss then save money for this. I only have one because i've had back issues, other than that a hardtail did much of what a full suss can do (imho). However, if i could only choose one bike, and i did. It would be a 27.5 full suss e-bike with speed dongle. It really is...

    Could have done without the mud as well. When its this muddy, i either don't clean bike each time or wait till it dries out. This is mean mtbing Very pretty stable you have there, and very colour coordinated :)

    Tyre advice please

    Finished painting, thank god. It depends on your riding. These forks are entry level, but if your doing mainly trails / pathways and they give you comfort and confidence then keep them for a while. If your doing more rugged stuff, small jumps etc then it would be worth the upgrade. My experience...

    Haibike Downhill Pro - Owners?

    This is a really good point. It's a shame this forum doesn't have meets, local clubs for e-bike users (unless i'm missing something here). If i wanted to join my old roadie club, no issue. Problem is they get very serious with competitions and minimum 50 milers. I'm at that stage where i'm...

    Tyre advice please

    Falling off at Bedgebury is very common, myself included. I live in Ashford, Kent and have been there a few times. It's not my cup of tea, very technical and very man made. I found one night as was there for hours and only did about 8 miles. Like Eddie said lower the tyre pressure. There's...

    Hello from California, land of the E-MTB haters...not for long though

    None of it's cheating / cheating who. I also ride non assigned bikes, just love my e-bike more at the moment.

    Intuvia or Purion?

    I hated the look of the Nyon on my bike, much prefer purion out of the way. Oh, i also have the garage alarmed and cctv front and back. It all helps.

    40MPH at last!

    I'm opting out. I'm scared of downhill speed, and more of the missus giving me grieve if I fall off bike again :(:eek:

    Intuvia or Purion?

    Agree same here I'm sure you've seen news of bikes being knicked by passengers in cars that don't even stop. My friend was in his garage and didn't even see the thief who stole his bike (normal sized garage). My policy after my house was robbed and having had my car stolen is this. Don't leave...

    E bike lights

    I looked at the nova, but decide on an exposure light both front and rear. Have a read, they adjust light beam automatically depending on riding, speed and conditions and if you put on a lower setting (still lots of light) they will last you for 12 hours plus.

    Intuvia or Purion?

    Agree, but it still wouldn't stop someone from stealing it these days, and those intuvia's are cheap to buy off ebay.

    40MPH at last!

    Impressive, but scary!. I think I would need to be on a mountain with a stiff drink before i attempted that. The roads in Kent are so bad it would be suicide to attempt it.

    If or when you fit a dongle look at the bikespeed rs. Once you fit one you won't go back.

    Hope brakes / rotors are fine, but finding the shimano xt just as good.
