I wouldn’t recommend Mezcals. I used them on fire roads and they punctured really easily. Lovely looking tyre with very low rolling resistance but prone to punctures.
I should say Lenka that is impressive. I know a lot of folk are flying down amazing tracks and are technically brilliant riders but getting out into the wilderness and using your bike to extend your day is also fantastic especially at this time of year. Enjoy Joss! I look forward to seeing your...
I think you’ll be surprised at what you can achieve with prudent use of your battery. If you are careful in your planning you can estimate how much battery you’ll need. I use the OS Map software to plan my routes and then transfer them into my GPS. All the gradients are shown in planning phase...
