eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

I tried riding in double layer skiing gloves once when it was really freezing, and dexterity for cycling just wasn't there. Hold a ski pole fine, but very difficult on and off the brakes, shifting etc.

These are warm, dry, cheap, cheerful, flexible and touchscreen friendly.

Nice! How long is that trail top to bottom?
Keep the photos and vids coming from California.

The whole Tamarancho loop is 12 miles/2000 feet.

This was taken a couple months ago. Went for an adventure and explored the trails in the Lakes Basin Area near Downieville, Ca.

Our ride video: We rode these trails "blind", it was so technical and rocky and pure riding bliss!

chris130256, someone has just been signing your praises for letting them try your bike in a FOD carpark recently.

 

[chris130256]

What. Who? Where?

 

[EddiePJ]

The guy that you recently let have a go of your bike in a carpark within the Forest of Dean. I think that it was the car park?

He said that you were lovely and enthusiastic couple.

 

[chris130256]

Ok. Thanks. Most times we're out I'll let someone have a go. I would guess 30 or so have been on my bike since I got it.
Did you meet this guy or was it on a forum?
It might have been last Saturday, a guy with his son?

 

[EddiePJ]

On a non ebike related forum.

Nice to see your wife's bike again Simon.

Oh yes that's the same bike I have!

42t is low enough for an eMTB. A 48t on an analogue mtb possibly, but there is no need for an eMTB to have it.
I'm also not struck on having a long cage either. I already worry enough about striking my medium length cage in narrow gullies.

Please explain your long or medium cage ?

 

[soundwave]

12spd is 10-50 and given there near the same price id still go to 12spd.

not for any more gears just to say look what i got bling bling pmsl

Please explain your long or medium cage ?

there short for say dh bikes with 7spd and get longer with the more gears you have at the back.

mine is near on the floor in the 42t at the back
