Heres my bike. lots of upgrades such as nyon,rock shox reverb dropper,supernova m99 head and tail light,fatbar handlebars,shimano zee brakes and the normal extras.

I've go the rock shox reverb as well but that was due to the original dropper post being pants, so that was free. Was thinking the shimano zee brakes too how do they compare to the original ?
Wished they'd do a pink and white bike for us girlies

yeah I would highly recommend the zee brakes, over stock they offer a great performance upgrade, im 6ft 6 and around 18 stone and on stock brakes they could be pretty poor mainly due to my weight and bikes weight. Now one or two finger operation is more than enough. absolutely love em.

Then this will be our next upgrade. My hubs is 16 stone and has problems with the stopping. I'm actually okay at 10.5 stone. I'll give most things a go but sometimes I lack a little in the confidence department so better brakes would do in this department.
Thanks Bigkevp

bigger disc rotors will give more stopping power with less heat build up.

 

[Dom T]

Suppose it's similar to a performance car, bigger discs better brakes...that makes sense....Did this too my GT toyota starlet and the MR2 GT turbo as well as the Subaru...
I like you wheels Soundwave.

I did my longest ride on monday. It was 52 miles with almost 8,000ft of elevation gain over some extremely rough terrain.
I noticed that with only 5 bars resolution (BOSCH) it is kinda hard to evaluate how much power I can use to safely get back home. I live on top of a hill, so I really don't want to get stuck at the bottom with an empty battery
This was the first time I drained it down to the last bar.

What happens next? The last bar disappears and the motor shuts down? Or is there some power left after all the bars are gone?

 

[Trevormonty]

Bosch could easily make display do 10% increments by flashing bar when below half way on that bar. Eg Have all 4 bars solid for 70-79% and 4th flashing for 60-69%.

Ventured up the Sugarloaf Mountain Monmothshire yesterday. 13.5 miles around and up the mountain.

Trevor,
I've run out of juice once, my display unit flashed before hand, I had noticed I may not get home with power intact, basically the last bar on the screen went and the it turned off = no power, had to ride home without. I also live on a hill, 20 kg can feel a little heavy.
I don't have a bosch though I've got a yamaha so it may be different.

You had a good time then Chris, lovely day by all accounts.
Can't wait for Scotland next week.
Not only doing some of the 7 Stanes but also thinking about doing the big country loop around Glentrool.

I don't yhing weight is so much issue but high gearing when battery goes flat. My Cube is running 15t (37.5) with 11-42 11spd. Manual bikes are typically 28 or 32 chainring.

Today I passed 9k milestone. Odo count at 9001 km! great. Hope it will last a little longer. So far so good.

Tomorrow it's fatbike time! Was a few weeks since last time, really looking forward to it! Have just tried my new bag also, it fits like a glove on this bike. Happy for that because I've had bad luck with bags lately. This bag is from another ebike manufacturer, ArrowSpeed. Bought it on a bike fair a few months ago, that was the only chinese supplier on location. Great bag, you can fold out the sides so it becomes like side panniers. The attachment loops are a little bad on some racks though.

 

[fatwomble]

I need a fatbike in my life

 

[Deere John]

What an awesome ride today! 40 km of mostly new trails. And everything is so green and nice now. Lovely!

Seeing a bike past its axles in mud messes with my mojo!

Okay, there's no bike in the shot, but I was sat on it. This is the Norwegian (?) dredger/shingle pumper leaving Eastbourne Sovereign Harbour at 4:55am this morning. I guess it could be referred to as The Voyage of the Dawn Dredger :

Fantastic shot.

Two from some mid week fun!

And one from the superb Friday evening group ride out.
