I turn mine once they get rounded off , not a jot of difference or if there is I don't notice it.

Yeah I can't feel any difference tbh either and with the inserts I just can't be arsed going through the effort of changing them back round
I can understand the logic on the rear wheel as it is driving you forward and the blocks will grip better. Increased rolling resistance, but a good compromise if you get better climbing. Marginally worse rear braking though, but the front brake is supposed to do most of the slowing down, so no matter.Yes, intentionally as I seem to do more climbing than descending lol both front and rear set backwards
But I'm surprised that you turned around the front tyre. It is not doing any driving forward, so all you get is increased rolling resistance (because the blocks are facing forwards when riding and not the ramps) and reduced braking (because the ramps are facing forwards when braking and not the front face of the blocks).

No fair posting from Switzerland! (Swiss Alps is my favorite place on the planet). Sooooo envious!

Yeah, that's the Matterhorn. I used to work for Roche, and they sent me to Switzerland twice. Both times I added a week of personal fun time to the week of work. I spent some time in Zermatt, which is where these pics were taken. The hang gliding ride was awesome, at least until I got "seasick". The emtb was a rental, and my first emtb experience. I bought my Levo shortly after returning home.
I really want to go back, but it's a lot more painful to pay for your own plane tickets, especially now that I'm retired!
Brilliant I have been there skiing a few times . As for the Hang Gliding I had a few solo flights at Glenshee, crashed and broke ankle game over . You take care now you hear
Great ride out today with @The Hodge, @Tonybro and @drewbirks. Out of the village of Dent in the West Yorkshire Dales. A big old loop taking in the magnificent Ribblehead viaduct. I can’t describe where else we went because we were in the clouds most of the time. Very wet conditions but didn’t dampen the enjoyment of the day.
I did meet up with Compo, Foggy and Clegg in the cafe at Ribblehead station.
Didn’t take anymore pics because ther was nothing to see but mist…….
Thanks for the smashing cup of tea Tony and the a pint in the Swan Neil.
Love your new fork Drew.

...and it was wet ..wet enough to drown a fish
..but fun 
As with Wayne I didn't take a whole lot of pics due to the weather but to be honest we knew what it was going to be like before we even set off from home .
Looking back at my home village at 7.00am this morning ..nice and sunny
Drew ..oh and the thing in the background is Ribblehead train viaduct which took 1500 men to build in the eighteen hundreds ..100 of whom gave their lives ..
Drew, Tony & Wayne on Great Wold on the side of Whernside ..a tough climb before it Morphs into a steep & very rocky drop which is a great way to end the last bit of off-road riding prior to a tarmac spin back into Dent .
My track recording once again decided to switch off part way around ..but according to Tony ..22miles with just shy of 3000ft climbing ...in great company .
Cheers lads

Cue Kate Bush and Wuthering Heights....

Time lapse… with my son, we’re still out there together riding our Santa Cruz bikes on Santa Cruz coast… I’m a bit grayer and e-biking.
Riding down in Laguna Beach today.

This used to be a great trail but it’s crazy overgrown with weeds now.
Glad you had a good time riding in the 'hood. In the past week I've hit Rock It lots of times. I like to use it for testing suspension. I've never hit Telonics--it seems above my pay grade.
Easy done they seem to suck up wood. Broke three derailleurs so far with small branches.Good it's just the brokem mudguard and not few missing spokes

We did Telonics about 10 years ago (no e-bike) then tried about 2-3 yrs… ouch, didn't go as well, note to self after that: “there is an upper age limit, you old fool”!
This is a pic taken this afternoon in Benodet in Brittany where we're on holiday. We were feeling completely out of place riding our Trek Rails among the many lycra warriors but wheels is wheels.
Wow!
Good places for a cowboy Yeaha when going down those trails.
No climbs here, it's flat as fuck. But Wednesday we'll be going an hour North to Parc Naturel Régional d'Armorique for hopefully some proppa eMTB muckin' around.
