    The true cost of an EMTB are they getting more or less expensive

    The 2017 haibike allmtn 5.0 is almost the same spec as my 2016 allmtn rc. The 2017 bike is £400 cheaper than last years model. A good buy imo.

    I've been down the first few k's on skis of the mega avalanche. I don't know how anyone could do it on a mtb? Screw loose all of them who do it. If I was 40 years younger though....? Always a good way to lose a few minutes of your life watching youtube videos of the race. Keep us posted on the...

    The true cost of an EMTB are they getting more or less expensive

    I would like the option of being able to buy just the frame with motor and battery so that I could build a bike to my own spec. Shopping around for parts could result in a higher spec'd bike at a lower cost?

    Yes, a great day at Hopton. April and our bikes are not covered in mud but they are covered in dust! Not complaining though. IR772, my wife and I did 1.5 times round the Pierce XC track. Just over 12 miles, some parts very demanding in places but loads of grip and buckets of sunshine! IR772's...

    Picture 8 for me. Stick that installation in the Tate Modern and it'll be next years Turner prize winner!

    Complete Wheel set for 29er

    My nephew thinks the new wheels look sick! It means 'very nice' in laymans terms. I agree. Another trip to a trail centre soon I think? The wheels will handle some big drops!

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    Nice! I did some of the Marin trail on my standard mtb last spring and it was a killer! It was the day I decided to look into emtb's. A defining moment. I'd love to hit it now on my Haibike. The camera footage looks good. Funny how it never shows the steepness though?

    Complete Wheel set for 29er

    This is putting me off Magic Mary's. I need to be able to get tyres off and on and the Nobby Nics are so easy to remove/replace that I don't need a tyre lever.

    That looks like one of the more dangerous black routes at Bike Park Wales?

    hill climber

    I'm guessing here but it looks as though that has been concreted to help the piste bashers which would mean its VERY steep!!!

    hill climber

    Just to clarify, I'm a much better skier than mtbiker. 75% relates to about 37 degrees angle of steepness which is about the same as domestic staircases. No problem to ski that but to cycle up it would take huge skill and definately an electric mtb. I would be better at cycling down that angle...

    hill climber

    Had to work really hard with full power. I almost parked my breakfast 'cause on one section, the wife dropped it and it was too steep for her to restart. I had to push her bike to find a flatter starting point. 40m or so was harsh. Managed to get going on the same place on my bike though!

    Steepest hill we've been up on our Haibikes is possibly this one.... This one was quite steep too 3rd steepest. The one in the distance...

    Ah, I thought Turnips Tump's were another set of Schwalbe tyres you'd bought to add to your collection of Magic Mary's, Smart Sams, Nobby Nick's and Malemenopause Mark's! Sorry that's the Jack Daniels talking!

    Who would it be?

    I'd prefer to spend a day with everyone who contibutes to the emtb thread than any hero or famous person. I think it would be an interesting meet up? At least we'd all have something in common. I'd include SW too.

    Puncture

    3 punctures in one day is my record. 2 new tubes then the last one had to be a repair. This was on Alpine mountain trails on a none emtb. I always have 2 spare tubes.

    A relaxing ride around Croft Castle and taking in Bircher Common and Oak Coppice (deep in the heart of IR772 territory) today. The wife was a little envious that I'd been out on Wednesday. A selfie on Bircher C.

    IR772 and I met up for a trip to the F of Dean yesterday and what a day to choose! Temps up to 17c and bright sunny blue sky. Fabulous. Not many others to clog up the trails either. 1st lap of the Venderers was taken at a leisurely pace as IR772 hadn't had much experience on these kind of...
