South Wales likewise (apart from BPW)!

There are hundreds of miles of premium mtb trails starting within 15 minutes of BPW. Also, there's some superb free trail bike centres that are 30 to 45 minutes away. I've wanted to try B P W since I got my Haibike but have never got round to it because of riding fantastic places nearby. I will...

Nice vid.

Exactly what RobF says. It would be like owning a top off road spec Landrover Defender then having to put road tyres on it. Defeat the object of having an off roader. The tyres on the Cube wouldn't last long with the road use you'll be doing. My Haibke All mountain is crap on flat roads. I can...

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

I have last years version of op's bike. We must have similar wheels? I only do off road/downhill, xc, trail centre runs and my bike has to endure 3ft drop offs, ploughing through big roots, rocks, shale and flint trails and all the other extremes theses bikes are built for. Never had any trouble...

A quick call to adrenalinatv might get you an answer?

I'm envious now Eddie! Although the drop @1.07 would worry me!

Fort William cycle centre is amazing. Being able to use the chairlift is like being in the Alps. The only downer can be the weather. Have a great time.

I take it you won 't be carrying the Levo in the 640?

Guy down the road from me has one. I didn't notice the car but did notice his 'tesler' number plate! Braver man than me. The depreciation on that car is scary.

I like the look of the peak in the 3rd photo. Have you been to the top of that?

Hi Dom T, my wife and I have the same model and been very happy with them. That dropper post is rubbish and I've written about what I've done to them in the mtb section (photos). We too use them twice a week and have had some great adventures around the Herefordshire, Shropeshire, mid and south...

Read through it and was amazed by the ignorance. Feeling a lot of guilt though about all the baby robins I've killed!

Eddie, by far the worst component on our bikes is the xlc dropper that came with the bike. 3 months ago I gave up on the handlebar adjuster and removed the cable, made a lever and haven't looked back. No big deal in adjusting seat height on the move. Much more reliable than using the h/b/ lever...

A beautiful emtb ride in the Mortimers Forest with IR772 and my wife. Found a deluxe bike stand... IR772 on the down route from the Vinnals My wife amongst the largest bluebell field in the world! It went on for hundreds of yards.

I've seen the same bike and price on ebay for the last 10 months.

You spent your time amonst the bluebells and wild garlic. IR772, the wife and myself did too today but where we were, I've never seen such a wide expanse of bluebells. 25 acres in one hit? Amazing. Photos later.

68kilo and quite fit for a 61 year old.

Excuse my ignorance 'cause I haven't tried a emtb with a dongle. My reference is that I can get to an assisted 16 mph on some uphill trails, so assumed I'd be able to go over 16 if that (dongled) assistance is helped to 30mph?
