    anyone bought from Tredz ?

    Bought a fair few things from Tredz however nothing as expensive or large as a bike. However the rest of the service has been great from my experience.

    Tektro orion 4p best pads?

    Yes I've got the 203mm, i think I'm going with uberbikes e-matrix pads. They are supposed to be for ebikes so dissipate the heat well and last longer. Only had a touch of brake fade on a long fast descent so if they stop that ill be happy.

    Tektro orion 4p best pads?

    Found out they are compatible with these shimano brakes, so things are looking up Shimano XTR BR-M9120 XT BR-M8120,BR-M8020 SLX BR-M7120 SAINT BR-M820,BR-M810 ZEE BR-M640 BR-MT520 So just to find the best/strongest brakes for these that can cope with an ebike

    Tektro orion 4p best pads?

    HD‑M745 thats the model number, seems very few versions of these pads. apparently they are called q10ys pads and the only ones i can find are by Noah and Theo and are very cheap. Cant find any originals at present or decent well known brand versions. Not sure what to do at this point

    Tektro orion 4p best pads?

    Hi, just noticed my original pads are running a bit low for the first time. I dont really know which pads would be best to get for my xduro nduro. Its running tektro orion 4p's and a little searching doesn't bring up recommendations. Ive not bought any disc pads for mountain bikes in years so...

    They say its good for you

    Commuting home i took my usual little trail to have a wee spill, tumbling down the trail making my fall about 10ft, landing on my shoulder creating a less then pleasing cracking sound. Im on my own down a rarely used trail, i drag my fat ebike up the trail and walk a mile or so to safety then...

    Take your bike to work

    EMTBs are amazing

    We all take so much for granted and this is an example of quickly life can change. Horrible and beautiful story. So glad you've found a way and such brilliant friends. Modern technology can fill some gaps and now ebiking is filling a gap for some many as well. Keep on pedaling.

    EMTBs are amazing

    That's basically how i ran it when I was younger and biking everyday. It seems a bit tougher now I'm older and been out of biking for a while. Sport is great for type 1, it means your sugars will be more stable more often as well as leaning them towards the lower end of the scale. Tell him to...

    EMTBs are amazing

    Im a type 1 Diabetic, Ive been out of mountain biking for about 10 years. Ive just got my ebike and like yourself if my sugars drop and i feel off the bike can pick up the slack till i recover or get me home. Its added so much more confidence to biking that I never had. I spent my youth riding...

    Poor battery Range - Mondraker.

    Interesting, this winter hasn't been bad really so if and when we get a bad winter i might add the gold foil inside the neoprene cover. The heat pad doesn't sound a bad idea though.

    Poor battery Range - Mondraker.

    Try wrapping your battery in something for insulation. Be it a custom cover, tinfoil, gold heat sheets anything to keep the heat in. Can boost your mileage some claim more then 10%. Ive got a old paid of shin pads that im going to wrap round on cold/snowy days seen as they are the same materiel...

    Difficult start to my ebiking

    That's a great insight, got a few things sorted but setup is a slow improving thing. Cockpit is decent for now i moved it all around a few times and it sits well with me now. That's one thing ticked off. Suspension is a puzzle thats getting better i think and you guys have already helped me...
