Stumpy, a straight forward question for you. How much do you want for the bike? .

That's a tough one, as I really love FS for riding on the South Downs in the summer, and the same of riding around here in the summer. It certainly makes a massive difference when looking at times on Strava for when making comparisons, although it never feels as though it does. Ideally I'd FS...

The main reason is the added maintenance and hassle. Also for the most part, I don't consider that my riding speed is high enough in those conditions to warrant it. .

Found the solution... Go out on the pedal mtb. :) Actually it turned out to be one of the worst rides that I have done. Firstly I thought that the conditions might have dried up a bit, so took a route that is really only any good when dry, then disaster hit, when I took a wrong turn and ended...

The gearbox is definitely terminal, and also expensive.

flec something that I practice when out on the pedal mtb is sprinting between set distances. I often push myself to take in one last road climb before turning in for home, and will sprint between lamp posts, slow down for the next and then sprint again. It's a hard thing to do at the end of a...

Afraid that Wednesday is a no go. The gearbox on my van decided to shat itself this morning! :( .

I've been getting frustrated waiting for the battery level to drop. :D Full review of the bike to follow at some stage over the next couple of weeks. :) I quite like this photo that I took of the bike last Sunday morning in T/Wells.

After another short ride today, the total mileage is now up to 68.70 miles with 5,277' of elevation gain. https://www.strava.com/activities/515703240 The power is now dipping into one bar, then periodically back up to two bars. I'll probably nip out at some stage over the next day or so just...

Speaking to an engineer this morning about this, he suggested two companies to try. Kent Bearings and Simply Bearings. He also said that in the past he has been caught out when searching for bearing sizes, because most are measured in metric. He said that as a long short, re measure the...

I'm another who lost a tube the first time that I rode there. I also take it pretty easy now whilst traveling along that section. On the same day as wrecking that tube, I wrecked a second, nearer to Stamner Park where there is another chalk track that has plenty of flint. That one resulted in...

Sounds good, although I'm not 100% sure about timing yet. Drop me a message with your contact details, and I'll get in tough. :)

Don't worry, I was only joking about the air horn. :) They are different masts. I know exactly the barn that you mean, and that's where I intend to head towards on my Wednesday morning ride. :) This is the pair of masts at Bedingham. I really hate the climb from Southease to the masts. It's no...

Could it just be a packer from the tile packaging?

I rather liked that bell as well. :) Very discreet, and functional. I'll wait for the Chinese to copy it and sell them on Ebay for a £1.00 I recall a very embarrassing moment when just a little ping of a bell sent a horse rearing up, very much out of control. Good job that you can blame a mate...

They are the two radio station masts at the top of Beddingham Hill. You can see them quite clearly from up here in Crowborough. I don't ever recall seeing an asbestos barn there though, but I've never even really paid the masts any attention either when I've I cycled past. What's the story...

Izzyekerslike. I'm fine with that. Georgehenry aside, It's 42% less people out riding and chewing up tracks. ;) Nealh, I'll post the grid ref later, or a better OS map detail, but here is the location from Strava. It's actually very easy to find. You just go up Firle Bostal to the car park...

It'll certainly do that, and do it exceptionally well.:)

I actually have very mixed feelings about full suspension bikes. I'm currently thinking of getting a hard tail e-mtb, as I'm not convinced that I really get the full benefit of an FS bike for my use. It's seemingly wet and muddy for eight months of the year, and I'm starting to see FS as a...

Good to be out today on the emtb. :) http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/how-many-people-are-using-there-e-bike-off-road.15780/page-75#post-296361
