Hi folks, I hired a Rail 7 demo bike last Saturday and went to Surrey Hills with one of my sons and @Sirwincealot. It was super fun. I've now managed to buy one and take delivery next week. FYI, if you're looking for a Rail, Evans have two medium (I think) left in stock. I also spoke to...

Good to hear that you like the Rail, and would be happy to meet up, but I wouldn't want to hold you back though. So, to set expectations, I'm 60 years old, and whilst I'm pretty fit, I won't be charging aroung ripping up any trees - unless I hit them of course! How about yourself?

Thanks Doomanic. I was thinking about a Whyte as I would like to 'buy British', but I was put off by the absurb battery removal process.

Thanks. Did you own an ebike previously, and if so what was it and in what ways is the Rail better? Cheers, C23

Hi folks, I love my Powerfly 5 which I got in May 2020, but it's a hardtail, and on reflection I should have bought a full sus, so I'm thinking of upgrading it. My two main criteria is that it must be a full sus and it must have a Bosch motor. Beyond that I'm open to suggestions. So what does...

Thanks very much @Howz, much appreciated. I think I won't bother then. Cheers, C23

Good to know thanks. Would you be kind enough to give us an update after a few more rids pls. Where did you get yours? Cheers, C23

Great! Thanks for tht info. Regards, C23

Hi all, I came across the PNW Coast suspension dropper post recently, I has 40mm of air suspension travel and I believe it's the only type in existance. I have a hardtail and it seems like this could be a good addition to smooth out the roots and bumps when seated. BTW, the amount of...

Here's the link.

I have a Trek Powerfly 5 hardtail, my son has a Decathlon Stilus, which as you may know has FS. Even though the Stilus was about £250 cheaper, it has better components, including a faster battery charger than my Trek. I tried to put him off buying a 'no-label' bike from a stack 'em high shop...

Hi, I too have a Powerfly 5 and spent ages looking into this a few months ago.Here's what I found: 1) The diameter is indeed 31.6. Have a look at the spec on the Trek website. 2) Somewhere, and I can't find where, but it was official Trek info, states that the max dropper post length for a...
