And yes, I run tubeless. I do find I change tyre pressures to suit the sort of trails I am riding. If its muddy & slippy on natural hand cut loamy trails I will run as low as 11psi front 14psi rear for traction, mixed trails I will up it to 16/19psi to reduce tyre squirm in faster corners &...

I have run 3" Nobby Nik's & 2.8" Maxxis Minion DHF/DHR. Didn't really get on with the 3" tyres either on demoed bikes or my own Jam2. Been very pleased with the performance of the 2.8" Minions particularly on wet roots & rock both climbing & descending. I have run 2.35" Magic Mary's front with...

Battery is supposed to be 378wh so a little better than the early advertising and I have found it's duration seems to be improving the more rides I put in. I have found similar behaviour from RC Lion & LiPo packs in the past too taking a bit of time to 'bed in'. I know what you mean about the...

Like the black paint. Full Di2 to boot! Interested to hear how you get on with that.

Took advantage of the great weather for a mooch around the northern fringe of the North Yorkshire Moors. About 30 miles in total and 3600' of climbing. Dog had to be rescued by the misses as the heat was too much for her a little way in.

Not on the bike. I have ridden up the pack horse trail going up onto the Moor the hill to ride down the trail Skip Off Work. Not sure if it would be doable or not. There tend to be an awful lot of walkers, not really worth getting into conflict when there is plenty of other trails to ride. I...

Popped out along the Cleveland Hills for a pint of Black Sheep...

There is an option for de-restricting but difficult to get hold of at present. Maybe one for PM rather than derailing this thread.

It's alright having a Focus where there is somewhere for a bottle mount but you cannot get hold of the holder or TEC battery. Still waiting for mine and they are saying August now.......

Is the top of the battery flat? If so I could make a hybrid part, plastic with a metal core for the bolts to screw into. You could then get a side loading bottle cage. It could be secured with a combination of 3M VHB tape as used on GoPro mounts & zip ties as a back up. Will give it some...

If you came up its a suitable design to fit around your battery I could probably 3D print you something that would work as an adapter.

Dunno about that. I was at Dalby yesterday, the car park charge was £8 and the trails cannot be compared. By the time you added on £10+ for a sandwich, cake and a couple of drinks it was more than a day pass and hot food at Bike Park Wales. It would be cool if they used the additional funds to...

Have you enough room to fit a handlebar mounted cage?

Saddle looks like it could use some viagra!

It's a Focus Jam2. Has a Shimano E8000 motor rather than Brose. It has an inbuilt 380w/HR pack so a little smaller than the competition but it's lighter weight and flick ability is more suited to the sort of riding I do. I have tried the Levo on a couple of occasions but was not quite the bike...

It's an ace piece of kit. Loving mine. Easy enough to find another cable to fit the charger or chop the one that came with it and put a UK plug on.

Had my first go at an Enduro over the weekend. Was the Boltby Bash on the North Yorkshire Moors. Managed 304th out of 383 finishers and 5th out of 6 in the e bikes. Room for improvement but had a great time none the less.

Can whole heartedly recommend Bike Scene, a great bunch of guys.

They are starting to become a practical proposition. 180 miles is plenty for most folks day to day needs. Maybe a hire car for those long journeys? I think it will need a step change for eCars on long trips. The battery packs will have to become standardised units you lease then swap your...

That's Roseberry Topping. I've walked up the front side in the past but not taken a bike. There is a cobbled pack horse trail up the slope to the rear that would be very doable on an eMTB. Very popular with walkers though so maybe best left to them.....
