    Gtech whistle

    I may be barking up the wrong tree but one job I had was building machines that ran with gates belts. If the belt was misaligned or the wrong tension it would whine, buzz or hum. So that where I'd look first.

    Ridged forks instead of springs ?

    The more I look the more I read the same sort of comment, low end sus forks are more of a gimmick for the average rider, adding several kg' to a bike for no better ride. My unpowered rigid hybrid was vastly improved by changing the 34mm tyres for a pr of 47mm wide tyres.

    The often controversial fat bike option.

    Just a guess here but is it's the only way to get the motor in ? the self same bike is on fat-creations website pre E conversion and there's a lot of carbon around the BB http://fatcreations.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/12976933_804703836302116_6094826705973886716_o-Copy-1.jpg

    Ridged forks instead of springs ?

Anywho after a refreshing morning ride on rough ground with my forks locked Ive gone for it and ordered MKM 35 Rigid...

    The new best headlight

    One of my bugbears, a green light as soon as you conect the battery ( unless it's red signifying low power) I thought why have a 7.4v 2s battery, the inboard led driver steps it down anywho, I brought some new drivers that run straight from 3.7-4.2 volts n messing about balancing cells and no...
