It you're mainly riding on tarmac then you want something like this...

Rise in some proper mountains (not me riding it unfortunately)

You're probably right, just think that these headsets are an example of form over function and they don't have a place on an MTB

Sorry it was a reaction to the original articles headline that you have linked to, their are lots of good reasons for upgrading that footpath and hopefully the National trust will help with that (could they make it a permissive bridleway)

They gave their reasons for going the way they did on the interview on the Vital mtb video, don't think that going for the middle ground was the best way forward for them, I think that they should have gone big or gone light, don't understand the stupid headset, it seems to be the latest "thing"...

Hate not being able to service/repair it, I'm not sure I will even buy another ebike until someone brings out a motor that is serviceable
