On one of my last posts, someone said the upgrades will mount up. Well, since my last post they definitely have. Here's my 900 with a few more upgrades including new stem, dropper post, handle bars and the latest one being the new Hans Dampf tyres. Out in the Wyre forest again after a couple of...

I've just put on some Schwalbe Hans Dampf and tested them out this weekend. Its like a different bike. Massive reduction in rolling resistance, and definitely makes a difference with the assistance off on flat sections. Plus, it now has plenty of grip in the typical UK gloopy mud found in...

Yes, sorry with the typo, I have the 31.6mm. The cable routes down the left side of the seat post and I've cable tied it as in the photo above. You then have to remove the 2 plastic guards from under the motor and the frame and route it through there. My rear mudguard is a Proguard Max Front...

Not as fancy as some of the other rides out there, but it's the best bike I've ridden so far. Took it out for its first proper outing in the Wyre Forest near me and finally got it dirty rather than just the work commute.

I've got a Mudhugger on the front of mine. Attaches with just black cable ties. It was originally on my ancient 2012 GT Avalanche. When I got it was the only front guard Mudhugger did so not sure of the equivalent one today. But definitely recommend them. I also have the standard rear one...
