    E-Sommet VRS vs E Mythique VRX

    This may seem a basic or silly question to some, but i am not a EMTB aficionado and don't swap out many parts on my bike - so any opinions on this would be gratefully received .

    Rear mudguard that works - IMHO

    Thanks for this - giving the Zefal a go as i am fed up with a wet arse, and was just looking to buy one. If we listened to all the 'rules' about MTBs (mudguard snobs in this case) none of us would ever have bought EMTBs as those were not allowed ;) I value dry trousers over image :D

    How not to wash an ebike by muc off
