    Tire Gauge Reliability

    Our bikes in the garage are left with the rear wheel valves at 8 o'clock and front wheel valves at 4 o'clock (viewed from the right). Prevents sealant dripping into the valves and makes pressure checking easy (before every ride). Change tyres twice a year and clean and replace valves if...

    Bosch Smart motor 2022 - walk assist problems

    A year later still working fine. A benefit of having a Trek Rail Gen 2 which doesnt have software updates which often appear to introduce more new errors as the old ones are fixed. Good reason not to be a beta tester for Bosch's latest and greatest tbh.

    New Orbea Rise bar config/setup ???

    New Orbea Rise bar config/setup ???

    I solved exactly the same problem (of not having the dropper lever exactly where I wanted it) by replacing the I-Spec EV brake lever with a I-Spec II lever which doesn't have the outer tab.

    My Maxxis DHR2 looks weird!

    Thanks for your post. Figured the same, will get a bit more use out it then replace it in a few weeks when the terrain gets drier. Still very muddy so might as well continue trashing it.

    Review Mucky Nutz - Mugguard Rear Fender

    A dry bum and back is well worth having even if the bike has a rear mudguard/fender which looks horrible.

    My Maxxis DHR2 looks weird!

    Me too, this is my front Assegai on October 20 2023. Rear Assegai was the same, slicks.

    Before rebuild: How fast? After rebuild: Not gonna!

    Walked around a lot of standing water (and deep mud) yesterday rather than riding through it. No point in possibly zapping the motor (Bosch CX). Tried a favourite trail to see if it had dried out enough to be usable. Mud came up to my ankles. Not one of my better ideas. :rolleyes:

    So, did you keep or sell your non eMTB? Any regrets?

    Gave my Gary Fisher Big Sur to a son who does silly stuff with it.
