Completely agree Paul,If you can;t ride offroad on flats then your technique needs some serious work.

Actually our laws fit in very well with the trail network we have,We have very different trails to you ,there is little need or requirement to have anything more on the open moorland and mountain trails we have here.Tight narrow rocky singletrack and heathland .Anything more than a normal e...

Agreed Steve, due to an injury my ep8 with 630 battery sat for over 3 months in the garage and held 60% for all that time, that’s on a 4 year old battery

I never liked those horrid little metric things,I like miles,gallons, feet ,inches,pound and stones ,I thank you

All the best to you Rob ,at 64 I’m going to stick with imperial 😂

I have done 42 miles with 3,700 ft of climbing on my ep8 and 630 wH bike,so It’s possible ,I weigh 12 stone (sorry you can convert back I don’t do metric 😂

Don’t they all,and once again ,they haven’t been out very long and look at Fazua who I’m sure also did all their “research in all aspects”

Castellano all loaded up 👍🏻

There is adifference between “Abuse” and “Hard use” my bikes are used hard non are Abused. scratches and dings will happen,that’s what makes bikes worthless,but Abuse is just gratuitous and stupid.

I don’t use mine as backup Otto,I use it because it is a better bike for certain rides.I also use it for long distance off road touring.Recently did the rebellion way 260 miles ,The King Alfred way 248 miles ,The North downs and Canti way 270 miles and countless other rides in Yorkshire ,The...

Same as above ,kept my best real bike as well as the emtb,Ducati TK01-RR and Castellano silk ti.

It isn’t a stressed component,other than initial setting of the headset compression ,out of centre will make no difference at all.You wont pull this out any easier than one which is perfectly central . Non of mine on any of my bikes ,ever have been perfectly centred going back to the dawn of...
