    I've just looked online and there are spectator and Gondola tickets available.

    Is the Lightweight low powered market about to kick off ?

    As ever so much of this debate is hugely subjective. I'll throw in my thoughts in any case... I don't really notice the weight on my Merida E160. I'm not jumping from bike to bike and so just enjoy it for what it is. Any limitations that the bike supposedly has are far outweighed by my...

    Aggressive thread reply posts

    I've been on here for a few years now and I've seen some pretty poor exchanges. There are a few real bad apples on here who should have had their behavious moderated or when this is not possible asked to leave. Instead I've found instances where people have complained about an exchange and...

    Latest full-face helmets with detachable chin-bar recommendations please

    I'm in the UK and have a Switchblade having had a Met Parachute before. The Giro certainly gives a feeling of security. It feels like a high grade motorbike helmet. I have taken off the chinbar maybe twice in 2 years. It just stays on, regardless of the heat/weather. My head must be an unusual...

    Van internal bike transportation

    I've also got one of these. I recently bought a Campal camping pod for it too. Micro camper, bike transporter and 45+ mpg.

    Thanks for that. I'll have to get along and go for an explore.

    Speed limit petition

    Not quite as simples as your trite response though..... For most people the issue is likely to be whilst riding on the road on the way to the trails.

    BT-E8016 external battery.

    Hi Stanczech, I don't have any details I'm afraid. Looking at the picture and seeing that it almost fits I had wondered if simply sanding a few mm off the battery case at the contact point would do the trick....

    Hi From Scotland

    So that puts you on Dumyat when the picture was taken? If so what is it like up there? I've been meaning to have a spin up but haven't made the effort yet.

    As Strava hates e-bikes....

    Don't take this the wrong way but what a royal prat you are!

    BT-E8016 external battery.

    I'm sure that i have seen a thread showing that it doesn't fit due to rubbing on the shock reservoir. I almost bought one from the Netherlands but then saw the picture.

    Going from ebike to a normal bike

    There is nothing at all that I miss from my acoustic bike. I'm maybe just really slow but I don't find a huge difference between an 18kg acoustic and a 24kg E-Mtb. My E-bike is more comfortable on most of the terrain that I ride on. The only time that I feel a negative difference is when I have...

    Megneg upgrade for 8000

    I am much the same weight as you. I have three bands on.

    Megneg upgrade for 8000

    I'm really pleased with mine too. The rear is just so sorted. I never have to think about it whatever the terrain.

    Exercise

    Weights on Mon, Wed, Fri. Sit-ups & Press-ups Tuesday and Thursday and then I run 4 days a week.(I aim not to do back to back runs where possible). Very moderate mileage. I average about 22 miles a week. I've found that in lockdown it has been fairly straightforward to keep to a good routine...
