    new shocks

    yes i have tried all adjustments to forks played about with air pressure and rebound. having done all this i realise that i will have the expense of some new forks . the ones supplied are ok for entry level i suppose but i,m used to better on my non electric mtb. the reason for asking on here...

    haibike tyre

    i have opted for a pair of nobby nics in 2.35 width. so far so good . they give good grip on the terrain i,m riding at the moment and can be run at lower pressures. however if run at the lower end of the pressure range there is a noticeable increase in drag. obvious really but a lot more than...

    haibike tyre

    thanks for this info Eddie. the link is very informative on the types of tyres. i think i may have to get a variety of tyres due to the variety of terrain that i ride. interesting choice of tyres for yourself but i can understand the width option front and rear.

    haibike tyre

    thanks gringo this may be something i may consider in future if i,m riding for long periods in the saddle as opposed to standing on the peddles over rougher terrain. thanks Eddie for the very detailed reply. i have sorted my forks and taken into consideration the other points you have made...

    oxygen off road

    thanks george, yes the spokes can require regular attention with my spoke key but they are not stretching just coming loose . a small dab of threadlock seems to work well.

    Panasonic hub motor capability, as fitted to KTM e-bikes

    thanks for that info eddie. very interesting i know what you mean about interesting climbing with a lighter front end because i am finding that the main restriction on the steeper gradients is my inability to keep the front end on the ground. i can,t help thinking that the weight distribution of...

    oxygen off road

    that is very true eddie. this new venture off road on an e bike is far more fun than i thought it would be . the only thing is that being used to mountain biking i have to restrict the use of my bike so as not to damage it. this is fine at the moment but where will it end up? :) it got me...

    oxygen off road

    i know that my oxygen e mate mtb is not in the same league as the serious off road crank drive bikes . Especially as far as demanding off road trails go. but i recently put the off road tyres it came with back on and tried some smoothish non damaging trails. until recently i have only really...

    oxygen torque?

    Torque times speed is power. so torque is power divided by speed. that simplifies things . thanks

    oxygen torque?

    thanks for that so at 25kph the torque is 22 nm if i,m reading the graph correctly. so if a manufacturer advertises a bike at a certain torque would they quote the maximum ? in this case 60nm at a slow speed
