    How to choose new chainset for KTM MTB?

    I've got the same bike, done about 2500 miles. Now on my 3rd chain, have had 2 snap. Last time also changed front sprocket as suffered with chain suck. To be fair i didn't clean the chain/gears as often as I should have but this bike does seem to have an appetite for chains.

    Kalkoff s10 life out of a chain

    I did 1510 miles in 8 months on my KTM & the chain snapped. Shop told me this was about right with off-road use. Doesn't seem much to me.

    Panniers !! (The Best?)

    This is a useful thread for me as I am on the lookout for new panniers. I have bought a couple of cheap ones off ebay that have been very good until I break them. To be fair it was my fault, the first one I failed to secure one of the velcro attachments correctly & it bounced off over a bump &...

    spare key for KTM battery lock

    I unfortunately lost a bunch of keys including the key for the Bosch battery lock on my KTM Macina. I have still got the spare & have tried to get another one cut. So far none of my local key cutting places have been able to help. Has anyone else managed to get another key cut?

    Interesting article http://news360.com/digestarticle/bGeHLoCByEuX1kCHrI88Ug, our American friends really don't want EBikes on their trails

    Has Anyone Ridden at a Trail Centre?

    I've ridden the Ashton Court trail in Bristol a few times. Brilliant fun, got called a cheat a couple of times but most of the guys are faster than me round here anyway, I've pulled over to let some past & tried to keep up, not a hope. If I go early on a Sunday its generally quiet so I can go at...

    KTM Macina 29 stolen last night

    what a sorry story, first the pain of your bike being nicked & then the inaction of the police & not seeing security video. Out of interest, what did you replace bike with, same again?

    2014 KTM E-CROSS p review

    good review. Interesting your thoughts on better traction than the hub-drive. Jealous you had the opportunity to try this!

    This guy really loves his bike!

    That's what I thought. Yes, a little odd to have sex with your bike but in the privacy of his own room this should never have gone to court.

    Common sense

    agreed, similar situation here in Bristol. Cumberland Road is fairly narrow & a tight squeeze for 2 cars to pass with parked cars. There is a dedicated cycle lane on the wide pavement but many cyclists insist on cycling on the road causing the issues you describe. Grrr!

    What is your experience of the KTM Macina Action?

    Have had mine since Feb & love it. Top notch components & a great ride, copes well on the hills. No hesitation in recommending.
