Could have used a Yamaha motor :) I am sure that they will do as well as the motor bike manufactured ebikes, but think these are more for the collector than average joe's.

Just ordered a couple of T-shirts from the EMBN black Friday sale - 50 / 50 on the channel content but there seem to be a few merchandise bargains there. EMBN Black Friday Deals

Thanks @KennyB appreciate the quick response

I am looking to get a new wheelset for my 2021 Turbo Levo Comp to replace the standard Roval wheels, looking at either DT-Swiss 350 Hubs or Hope, but do I need to specify Boost or non-Boost?

I use a Pragmasis D lock through the rear wheel for my motorbikes with an Abus Granit disc lock up front, won't stop anyone lifting it up and throwing it into a van, but hopefully will deter the casual / opportunist thief. The Pragmasis is not light and not sure i would like to ride around with...

Went to Peaslake carpark 2 as suggested, not sure if it was the satnav or just that the roads leading to it were all single track winding roads, but got there for around 9am and the carpark was relatively empty. Managed around 15 miles in total around Hurt Wood according to Strava, I was a tad...

Excellent, I'll head for there, hopefully the M25 will be kind to me :)

Anyone currently riding Surrey hills at all, I am looking to drive down tomorrow for a few hours (Essex based), wondering if it is relatively dry or should I expect a quagmire? Also where would you recommend I start from, not been for 25 years, seem to recall parking at Box Hill and having a...

I went over last Friday, not ridden over there before so did not know where to go really so just followed my nose. There was certainly some wet / muddy places but had a decent ride. Lot's of people about on the main / compacted tracks, will be a lot better when / if it dries up that's for...

care to share? Am looking for a stand myself and a nice compact one would fit the bill.

Do you know if i can use an SRAM chain on the Shimano groupset, I have searched the internet and it's inconclusive, some say it's fine, and others say not to?

That's very generous, i have just ordered a pair from J E James, hopefully they are in stock!

I'll have a look out for one thanks. Need to get some quick links, although that is proving easier said than done for the shimano 12 speed chains.

Thanks for the info John, i will see if i can get some quick links when i pick the new chain up tomorrow. And a new multi tool with a chain tool incorporated!

Just back from Hadley after the first ride on my Turbo Levo, and on the last lap, at the bottom of the hill by the castle the chain snapped, was a long push up the hill :) I made sure that I was in a high gear before starting the ascent so maybe it was the mud, or maybe it was in a lower gear...
