I am now looking at replacing the dropper post, it looks like One Up components V2 model is getting good review. Any other dropper worth considering ?

Anyone having issues with their dropper post ? Mine has been sticky, not always going all the way up, even after servicing it [emoji848]

What is the go with this 2nd lockdown here in Melbourne ? Are we allowed to drive to mtb trails ? (Within lockdown area) I have not been to Red Hill for months, what is it like xown there ?

I am interested in the new Hydromatic Brisker. A quick review would be great

The Vaude over shoes seems to be the best solution so far. But anyone here has tried motorcycle boots ? I am thinking ADV waterproof or maybe light moto trials? I like the idea of extra ankle protection after seeing the photo of the broken ankle posted in the other thread...

What is the advantage of rotating chains ? Also, which chain do you recommend ?

Riding flats on the ebike and clips on the xc bike. When trying technical climbs that i will bail off, flats give me less worries that I will stay clipped in. I still crashed and stayed clipped in on my xc bike too many times, elbows hurt.

I have never seen those before, but I am keen to try them out. Similar concept to Endura flat pedal over shoe that I was considering, but those ones looks proper... Any more photos of them on your rides ? Also which pants do you use with them ?

I still have my 2012 Sherco 300, which gets ridden twice a year! For me, it is the convenience of mtb, you drive closer to home without a trailer, you put your gear on in 2min, you ride 3h, go home, wash the bike with a garden hose and Mucoff in 10min, shower and finished before lunch. Wife...

I am disappointed with the range of my 500wh battery also. Already ran out on 2 rides after 2h. I am told I need to ride in Eco most of the time, but the bike feels heavy in Eco, not fun. I can't wait for the new Shimano battery, hopefully 700wh+

I want to lube my ebike chain the same way as my normal mtb, by spinning cranks backward. What's the hack for that ?

Derby is ideal for ebike. No so much Maydena, did like not that park, very steep gravity trails and you have to take a shuttle. Between Derby, Blue Tier and St Helen, plenty to ride on the ebike

2.35 tyres looks small of that XL Commencal. Needs 2.6 for sure. Interesting, I just ordered some new 2.6 Eddy Current today and will mount them tubeless with a Huck Norris inserts. I agree that the cables are too long, will need to add that to my list. Crank boots: what sort ? The Lev...

That Yamaha ebike looks awful color wise... If Yamaha makes a decent looking ebike that perform half decent, they will sell heaps to middle aged man that used to ride Yamaha in the 90' I nearly bought a Husqvarna ebike for that reason

Interesting info here. I wanted to try them next, but they don't do 29 [emoji848] only 27.5 and 26 on their website. Is there any 26'' ebike ?[emoji848]
