    Lights again

    The length of cable as fitted to both the light and battery pack on my lights is ridiculously long and I'm fed up looking at the ugly mess of wrapped cable and want to shorten them. Can anyone please advise about which type of plugs to buy and where from? Male and female. I still think that...

    2014/2015 KTM Macina Lycan gps +

    I'd say that it has more to do with me riding on harsher terrain and under more extreme conditions than you are on your bike. The bike will be back up and running again by Tuesday evening of this week, and the service work has been fairly extensive, with a new chain, new front sprocket, new...

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

    The Charge Spoon must definitely rate as an all time classic saddle. No idea what makes it so great, but it is. :) The e-mtb should all be back together by Tuesday evening of this week, and it has certainly had a thorough work through. In some respects I'm almost sad to be getting it back...

    Bosch Nyon Issues?. New substantial update: Jan 2015

    earwig, if you took the bike back to the supplier, the gears could be sorted within minutes. :) The weight, sadly all e-mtb's are too heavy, as are e-bikes as a whole. Some just somehow manage to hide/place or utilise the weight better than others. I take it that you also have the Performance...

    I'd love to be able to advise, but I'm only just starting to grasp using the camera my self. Perhaps looking at technomoans review of the camera on Youtube might help...

    Cube SUV Hybrid Pro

    I'm afraid that you have me confused. I'd agree with the first, but not the second.

    Cube SUV Hybrid Pro

    Whilst I loved my albeit short ride on Neo Race (not carbon) and found it one of the nicest most natural bikes that I have ridden, I think that mrgeof would struggle with the frame sizing. As far as I'm aware, it is just a one size fits all medium. I suspect that he would find it too small. Then...

    Padded cycle shorts can also make a huge difference. Don't buy the cheapo Lidl's Crivit ones though. edit.. Just noticed the RH of your postcode. I'm currently working at Keymer, which has an RH postcode.

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

    Saddle wise, the Haibike Cross had a good a good quality Selle saddle, but I found it uncomfortable and changed it very quickly for a £20.00 Charge Spoon. The saddles on the two KTM mtb's are seemingly perfect for me, yet the soft comfy shopping saddle on the KTM ladies shopping bike that I am...

    Very envious Wicky. Certainly a lovely day for a ride. :) The Macina Lycan is still on it's hols, so I've been busy making the most of the Ultra 1964. I really do love riding this bike, and the shot below was taken yesterday, as I had been out the night before on it for what was probably the...

    Not selife's, but.. Dashing good looks, and a fine pair of legs. ;) Post crash from a couple of weeks ago with the helmet peak ripped off. :( Soaked to the skin, and freezing cold!

    Was EddieO right?

    It was via searching e-bikes that I found EddieO's remarks about BH and also this forum. I read the remarks, absorbed them, then instantly did the opposite and bought one. If only I'd listened to the sound advice being given. :(

    Thanks Geoff. If you happen to be anywhere near to Crowborough, you are more than welcome to give the bike a try and come out for ride. The bike is currently having a bit of a holiday and full strip down and service at the moment. The forks etc are also now off of it, as I go through it all...

    When things decide to go wrong.

    Just got back from yet another night ride using the KTM Ultra 1964 pedal bike https://www.strava.com/activities/266718842 and guess what, I ended up falling off yet again, this time into the deepest and wettest mud possible. Of course the lad that was with me couldn't stop laughing, but I'll...

    When things decide to go wrong.

    On the plus side, things can only get better, and they will. :) At least the bike was okay, and that's the main thing. ;) I did have similar thoughts to your own last Saturday when the front end dropped into a grass covered hole, and I went straight over the handlebars. At a mere 49 years old...

    Newbie wants to mod KTM eCross P for trails

    Hopefully things will soon dry up with the arrival of spring. :) I recall feeling exactly the same about the tyres as well. As said before, the only time that uncertainty crept in was on a damp grassy descents, but even then I think that was more in my head than anything else. It's a very...

    Newbie wants to mod KTM eCross P for trails

    To add my bit to this as my name has been mentioned, the main difference with my experience at organised events, is that as Col has indicated, I go out of my way to be respectful to others taking part in the events, and hills aside, I always ensure that I am riding at a comparative pace to...

    Newbie wants to mod KTM eCross P for trails

    Just being the optimist with the sun thing. I can dream. :) I'd forgotten what a nice bit of kit that the e-Cross P is. Still not keen on the white brake calipers though.

    Newbie wants to mod KTM eCross P for trails

    Shucker, you own a very nice bike. :) By "trail" do you mean hard packed surfaces, or loose slippery, muddy terrain? I'm only asking, as when I reviewed the e-cross P, I found the OE supplied Schwalbe Mondial tyres to be surprisingly good off road. Slightly unnerving on wet grass descents, but...
