    That's Cheating!

    Total ignorance, and sometimes jealousy. Even some of the best professional mtbers say e-bikes will be the norm in 10 years. I personally agree, as there so much more fun. I often do 4 circuits of the local forest runs, used to do 2.

    Buy new Dongle or not?

    Buy new Dongle or not?

    Some people don't realise how good a road bike can be. I sold my old road bike, which when pushed could hit over 40mph on flat and with a lot of effort, but it was a 10k bike. Can't believe how much i've spent and wasted on bikes. Still my mates into building a Lamborgini kit car and he's...

    Buy new Dongle or not?

    Your right!. Still i'm happy that i can get well into the 30's which will blow most roadies away (i should know). :) Got to do more testing with 20t see if ok on climbs etc, and see if i can hit the 40mph. OMG it's like being back on STRAVA!!!!

    eMTB buying advice

    I bought mine from Martin, e-bike shop. If you want to just get a bike, dongle or not then he's fine. If you want good service, bike sizing advise then look elsewhere. I've had a couple of issues, and my mistake was not buying locally. Its a pain to take bike over 2 hour drive to Martin...

    Buy new Dongle or not?

    Well, just come back from a quick spin to try new dongle. I managed 36mph, but there's still a bit more to give so think 40mph is possible for a very very short period. Still waiting new chain, but not ideal conditions i.e. dark, wet and yes potholes (i'm not suicidal). I think the Bosch motor...

    Buy new Dongle or not?

    Agree, i just like the idea of being able to hit this speed if i want to for short periods. I usually ride at about 20mph, cadence 85 avg, eco mode. I have the garmin 820 and note the purion is recording 1mph more than the garmin all the time?. I sold Nyon, so can't comment on that one. The...

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    I had hope pro 2's years ago, and the hubs were great bar that bloody noise. I stripped them out, lubed but made little different due to ratchet system. I'm running DTSwiss 240's and i really like them, also no noise and very serviceable. Some people like the noise of course!

    Buy new Dongle or not?

    Good spacing. The haibike original sprocket has a tiny bevel to help with clearance. IMHO, 25t is too big, as equates to a standard 62t?. I think 20t max which equates to 50t. The biggest older mtb used to have 48t, hence why i stuck with 20t as close to this. Also, not sure you would have...
