    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    Both of my Reverb Stealth dropper posts perform without fault. Or rather after the 2015 version was replaced with the 2016 version, when it failed on the first ride. I did rather well out of that though, as the post was bought half price because of the introduction of the new version, and was...

    Or simply get some instruction on how to ride the one that he had already tried. .

    I used them last year and then removed them. The tension was when using the flat bars with the short stem, although the ride today was limited, all seemed okay. I would struggle to go any wider even if I wanted to. The local woodland routes are just too tight to run wide bars, and even with...

    Very nice and tidy. 10/10 for that. :) Shame about the seat post cable though. :p

    How not to cross a train track with your bike

    You have to wonder why whoever was filming it, didn't try to stop him. Some people have some odd priorities.

    Yep, Purion display which I like, but would prefer that the two +/- switches operated from the outer edge of the unit, not inside edge. (if that makes sense) A 70mm stem in place of the OE 110mm. I had no issue with the 110mm stem as it always made climbing very stable and predictable, but the...

    Yet another morning spent trail building. I'm currently getting far more fun from riding the pedal mtb than I am eMTB's, but after having just made six minor changes to the eMTB, I figured that I had better get out and try them, or the trip to the Swiss Alps will be upon me and it'll be too...

    Hi handbaked, if the bike doesn't meet the current UK electric bike law, as set out in the following link http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/electric-bike-guides/uk-electric-bike-law/ please could remove your post from this thread, and post in this forum section instead...

    Bosch CX question for a newbie.

    You have lost me, as I said that road biased tyres can.

    Bosch CX question for a newbie.

    Two suggestions. First suggestion..... Find another dealer to buy from. Second suggestion.... Perhaps widen your options of bike choice by looking at hybrid/trekking styles of bike. This style will easily tackle the terrain that you describe, and could in long run be a more practical...

    Who would it be?

    I'll let you make your own mind up. :) This clip was previously removed, but I just spotted that it is back up again. :)

    Change from Active to Performance CX

    16T would be raising the gearing, not lowering it. https://www.cube.eu/uk/products/e-bike-trekking/cross-hybrid/cube-cross-hybrid-pro-400-blacknred-2016/ From the spec above, the Cube Cross Hybrid 400 comes with a 15T as standard, so it would mean changing to a 14T front sprocket, from the...

    Bosch - New eMtb mode

    I can't say that it interests me. Most of my riding is carried out using either eco or tour*. Occasionally, as in a few times a year, I might use sport, and as far as I can recall I have only used turbo mode once or twice in roughly 6,000 miles of off road riding. *eco when out with pedal mtb...

    I see your cheating then!

    Hi Derek, would the MTB group that you ride with, happen to be called Cycle Seahaven?

    Brand new Haibike, two broken chains in first 35 miles, and other problems, advice needed

    Tisme, from reading the reply by ETS, they have stated that it isn't uncommon, and is down to a powerful motor, weak chain and or rider technique. It obviously has nothing to do with incompetence on the part of the shop, by repeatedly fitting chains of both the wrong length and even...

    Solution for chain suck, Bosch performance line

    Ouch! I can buy ten Connex sprockets to fit my KTM, for the price of just that one Haibike sprocket. Very scary price. :( Putting that into context. This little lot here, has just cost me less than your one sprocket.
