If someone has a motor with a rattle, it's not too fantastical to imagine that they might google the issue and find this thread. Unfortunately it's just full of pointless bickering rather than anything solid that might help them. The other possibility (that you seem to favour) is that competing...

Can't believe people struggle-on buying more and more Shimano derailleurs. I went through this years ago, finally realised that the parallelogram links are super weak and bend, which makes the cage point in towards the spokes and then catch and destroy everything. Switched to SRAM and found a...

Thanks. Looked an Ainsa before but was told it wasn't good in the winter?

I've been looking on Trailforks for trails but I know that they only show a small fraction of what we have here. Is it the same around there? Are there any other resources for route planning?

Thanks. This looks brilliant, I'm sold, just been looking on Trailforks and saw the Trenkabikers trails and remembered seeing a video about them before. All looks ideal.

Thanks, that's a great start, much appreciated. In Finale, we had some great days getting one uplift in the morning to save the batteries a bit and then slowly working our way back to town via various trails (pedaling several subsequent climbs) so would probably aim to do something similar so be...

Looking at taking a riding trip to Girona (Spain) in November. Driving from the UK so we can take EMTB's. Done Finale a few times and loved that but fancy trying somewhere new. Any ideas/suggestions/experience to share? Group of 4 probably. Mixed medium abilities (all experienced riding Finale...

It's just that this thread is nearly a hundred pages now so maybe good to try to keep it vaguely on topic?

Wouldn't really be an SL then though would it? There's loads of bikes that are close to this but if you want a true SL (under 18kgs) there is very little choice.

That would mean being without it for several days. Plus I've been itching to look inside.

My SL1.1 motor is getting rather noisy of late. Has anyone managed to get an SL1.1 bike upgraded to a 1.2 motor through official channels? Assuming that still isn't an option. I'm going to open up my 1.1 motor and see if I can lubricate it to help. Has anyone done this themselves? Any tips...

That's what I thought. Plumbers are going to hate that. But I can see how having it the normal way might end in disaster too.

I'm super happy with Clik. But just out of curiosity, are the big-bore valves set up the opposite way to standard water ball valves? ie. with a standard ball valve the handle being aligned with the pipe means it is open, but I think from photos the MucOff valve has the handle aligned with the...

Looks very Collie, she'll be a great trail dog, just got to teach her "stay behind"

Ireland is a tiny market, you can piggy back on what's available in the rest of the world. If the US and the EU ban the motor or change the regs then specs will change. Probably for the worse.
