    Haibike Downhill Pro - Owners?

    Hi James, you have almost the same bike as me and like you I love mine (mine's the Sduro Nduro Pro) - I also compete in the Mini Enduro / Downhill series on it. I tend to ride more Middle Wales as it's closer for me, but have done FoD and BPW (albeit once each and that was for a race each...

    Intro

    Hi Rob, I'm a structural engineer too and enjoy my e-bike to the max. My only advise would be to test ride lots of different models once you have whittled it down to the type of riding you want to do (I know you said on and off road, but my downhill bike will do on road, just...) - they're not...

    40MPH at last!

    48mph so far - like SW down a forest track, puddles were to be avoided after making the mistake of going through (albeit a shallow) one....:eek::eek::eek: MT07 huge brakes anchored me up fine though. The gauntlet is well and truly thrown now then....;) I need to find a steeper hill.

    Intuvia or Purion?

    Apologies, I was getting mixed up with the Nyon display... I have the Intuvia on my bike, but when I eventually smash it to bits I will change to the Purion as like the simple look and less likely to get damaaged. I have cartwheeled my bike several times now and so far the Intuvia has held up...

    Intuvia or Purion?

    As far as I'm aware you can exchange the two (bike shop may have to do some funny electrical wizzardry that's beyond my 3 pin plug wiring capabilities), but I'd be aware if you use it off road to it's full extent as it can be costly to replace if you damage it. If you're using it off road then...

    Welcome to the forum, as others have said, you have an awesome playground there. Have you done the Marin trail yet?

    Mini Enduro - March 4th - Bike Park Wales

    Lots of interest, there are always the slaters in any group of people, but more and more are becoming interested in them - especially as we are lining up alongside them and covered in just as much mud...I tend to give a few strugglers a push on the fire tracks if I'm coming past and they all are...

    Mini Enduro - March 4th - Bike Park Wales

    No uplift - they were running there for the day, but not for race entrants. I just wasn't feeling it so turbo mode most of the way up and down....;) As I had a spare battery I wasn't worried about running out. You could do the practice in the morning on Eco / Tour and then top up for a couple...

    2.4 " off road tyres

    That's exactly what I did with the Magic Mary's - got LBS (Race Co Cycles....) to fit them as I struggled in the garage with screwdrivers, tyre levers and all sorts before spitting dummy out and giving in. I dread getting a puncture out in the open now...will cross that bridge when I come to it.

    Mini Enduro - March 4th - Bike Park Wales

    Most of the bikes were Cube or Haibike, there was a Reise and MulLeroy Delivery (the one I passed on the third stage as he was struggling with lack of travel, but he still completed the course on it so they are capable bikes). Thanks SW, but the ones I need are model specific, I had some in...

    Mini Enduro - March 4th - Bike Park Wales

    Well, I survived but true to form I lobbed the bike on the second stage... Got there at about half nine and had to park almost by the roundabout as it was so full. Got togged up and it started to drizzle a little. Met up with a few others, mostly on e-bikes, and pushed the ones without a motor...

    Hi just joined

    A bike make / model would help - it's like saying I need a battery for my car...then I'm sure someone can advise.

    Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPA Action Team

    Plus one on race Co Cycles in Stourbridge, very helpful staff there. Glad you're enjoying the Cube, some good trails round Holmfirth - I've cycled round Ladybower a few times, not quite as far north as you but in the same park.

    Mini Enduro - March 4th - Bike Park Wales

    I may struggle for that one - I hand over the contract that I'm currently working on on May 2nd, so will probably be working that weekend . I'll do my best to get there though. Definitely for the October one though.

    Mini Enduro - March 4th - Bike Park Wales

    I've not checked the website for future dates - if that's the next one then I'll see you there. I thought they only ran a couple a year? I'll have a look now then and sign up. They are really good fun and I highly recommend them.

    Mini Enduro - March 4th - Bike Park Wales

    I did the FoD October last year - that's where the photo above is from. It was my first enduro (and first ever pushbike event) - can't recommend them enough. See you on the starting line up in a few months time then...:):):)

    2.4 " off road tyres

    I have Magic Mary's on mine, but it's only a 27.5. Can't fault them and I have tried most sorts of tyres. I'll be buying these again such was the transformation in the bike. Have gone tubeless also, running 24psi.
