    2015 Lapierre Overvolt eMTB's hit the UK shores..

    I know that some hate it, but I'm still loving the gull arm style swing arm on the Lapierre. :) Rob, there are loads of 650b mtb tyre choices out there now, and the range is increasing all the time. :) There also some real bargains to be had. This week alone I have bought some 2014 WTB...

    2014/2015 KTM Macina Lycan gps +

    Well, what can I say! I decided that I had better christen the bike before the weekend, and boy did it get christened. It rained and rained throughout the 15 mile ride, and I sadly also wrecked the camera because of it. This bike is pretty phenomenal in almost every respect. It somehow brought...

    2014/2015 KTM Macina Lycan gps +

    Thanks for the replies, and yep one of the mods is sadly a mudguard. It's a MuckyNutz one, so doesn't look so bad. :) When things do get really muddy, with reluctance, I'll fit a crud catcher to help protect the battery area, and a rear guard. I'll be holding out as long as possible though...

    2014/2015 KTM Macina Lycan gps +

    First impressions of the 2014/2015 KTM Macina Lycan gps + 10-s XT I'm not going to run through the list of spec, as this can be seen on the following link to KTM's website.. http://www.ktm-bikes.at/en/bikes/e-bike.html?action=bike_details&bike_id=17920&cHash=9602c173b1b6ea164954b68b706f985d...

    A detailed list of the 2015 KTM E-bikes. http://www.ktm-bikes.at/en/bikes/e-bike.html I guess that you would need to check with supplying dealers or FLI, for UK availability in respect of certain bikes.

    So I went to a trail centre...

    I think that TK's hard work deserves as much coverage as possible. :) As you say, it's certainly very inspiring and positive. :) The layout that you have set out on the FB page also looks superb. TK, it's expensive stuff to buy, but perhaps you could add some 'heli tape' to the bike to help...

    Bosch Nyon Performance System / Sat Nav for 2015

    Assuming that the UK mapping system is going be OS, why would you not expect to have to pay for the licence to use the product. Doesn't the system rely on the phone? If it does, then why not just use an app like ViewRanger, or even Google mapping for free. And if the system does rely on the...

    KTM Corner

    I think that I'll pass on the toe clip idea. :) I have just looked at the price of the Shimano XT M780 XC Race SPD pedals that I have on the Ultra. I must have had a right result with mine, as I paid about £23.00 for them. Whilst I rate them very highly, I was also slightly disappointed with...

    KTM Corner

    Thanks TK. I've looked at a few sets online, but would rather see them in the flesh before buying. Some are either just way to big, or way to thick for me. I met yet modify my existing clipless/reversible set that I had on the BH. I agree about the name clipless, I've never understood the...

    Bosch Nyon Performance System / Sat Nav for 2015

    I can see that for some, the Nyon is going to end up being the sole focus of owning and using a bike. The enjoyment of actually riding, is going to be taken over by constant pratting around with the display. It'll end up being like car sat nav units, with people turning it on, just to go to the...

    So I went to a trail centre...

    TK, you really should be submitting articles for publication in mtb mags. Your write ups are superb. Failing that, at least start to write a book about your exploits. :) There is just too much here to absorb all in one go but just touching on two things. Food first. That just isn't fair, you...

    TK, your photos alone should sell further bikes. That bike does shine. :) Here is a link to one of TK's superb write ups. :) http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/so-i-went-to-a-trail-centre.18964/ Out of interest, which make of flats did you go for? I've always run clipless, but I'm...

    3 Kalkhoffs for sale on ebay - all without chargers!

    I still can't believe that the seller hasn't been pulled up over his descriptions. I'd say that they are more of a potential nightmare. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/an-offer-too-good-to-refuse.18562/page-3#post-239562

    Aldi puncture repair canister.... First try!

    You have just reminded me of something. TK if your tyres have Presta valves stems, which I suspect that it will have if you are still on the KTM supplied tubes. Be careful not to bend and snap the stem that sticks out from the top off. I've managed to do exactly that when fixing a puncture and...

    KTM Corner

    So very nice. The KTM Macina Lycan GPS+ I'm still enjoying pedal power at the moment though. ;) I spent a bit of Sunday afternoon out playing in the area local me, just exploring hidden tracks and following animal trails to discover new routes to ride. Following these trails often leads to...

    Aldi puncture repair canister.... First try!

    Don't tease me TK. Wiggle had an extra 10% off everything last week, and I was very very tempted to buy one of those myself. I couldn't justify three pumps for two bikes. ;) Keep a steady hand, and just keep watching out for special offer discount codes. :)
