    Stone the heretic. Unpopular opinions

    Let's have a fight! Mudguards. Unless you go full commuter, they don't really work. Tyres: Grip: Often as not is illusory but marketing is rampant. The existence of berms proves the thesis. Derailleurs: Ancient relics that should be consigned to the dustbin of history. The only vehicles in...

    Focus Jam2 coil shock

    Greg, is there a coil shock that will fit a second generation Bosch powered Focus Jam2 without changing the shock linkage?

    Shuvl bikes

    Not sure what I think about this. A modular ebike with a space frame. On the one hand it's not a looker but then it's been designed to accept a range of motors & batteries, making it potentially a forever bike.

    Superpowers

    Obviously this place is wall to wall Greg Moirs & Jackson Gwins but when you're not shredding the gee-narrr what lights are you hiding under your bushels? Maybe you're a magician on the quiet, an expert carpenter knocking up fabulous works in wood or perhaps you moonlight on drums for Queens of...

    Vive la France!

    I might be looking for a favour lads. I need a spare part for one of those fancy carousel units in my kitchen. The only place I can find one anywhere in the world is a place in La Feuillie, few miles east of Rouen. If the guy won't deliver to the UK, any French guys willing to take delivery &...

    Covid

    I've had Covid for the past week. Pretty sure I picked it up, in a clanging irony, at hospital last week, attending a physio appointment for my last physical calamity. Fair to say then, the second half of the year has been a stinker for me from a riding point of view. The symptoms have been...

    The whaddya reckon it's worth? thread

    Mulling over an idea but not sure it adds up. My 2021 Focus Jam2, meticulously maintained, lots of upgrades etc. has covered over 6000 miles now. I'm happy with the bike still & not motivated to switch until something turns my head. I've come across a couple of identical Jams for sale with...

    Moustache Clutch

    https://www.pinkbike.com/news/first-ride-moustache-clutch-with-pinion-mgu.html This looks interesting. A Pinion MGU with a big battery, decent spec & geo & you can buy it in the UK. 27KG beats the Nicolai Saturn, just. Couple of mixed reviews. Pinkbike felt the weight was front loaded...

    How original is your bike?

    Mountain biking is spendy! I was thinking about my bike over the weekend, it's coming up on 6000 miles on the original battery & motor, so in that sense it doesn't owe me much & nor is it really worth anything by now however it occurred that I've either replaced or upgraded nearly the entire...

    Zeb knocking

    Mate I was out with today has a 2023 Whyte E160 with a base Zeb, rush damper. It was knocking on compression on the trail. Are these forks prone to faults? I've said I'll open it up & have a look but what should I be looking for?

    Kiox cleaning

    Anyone had problems with their Kiox power button? My non smart one has developed a very stiff feel to the power button. The bike is ridden all year round & the cause is almost certainy a build up of mud & dirt working its way in behind the switch. It's not obvious if the unit comes apart for a...

    Jam/Sam2 low brake mount

    I'm building a mullet back wheel for my Jam2, I'm right at the end of the process, ready to put the wheel on the bike & I can't find the low brake mount I need to run the wheel 😭 This is tricky since there's no real Focus dealers in the UK right now & it's such an esoteric part, I can't find...

    Charger 2.1 leaking

    I noticed last night my charger damper is leaking around the compression adjusters. I've had a look around & found this is quite common on charger 2 dampers & comes down to a design flaw where the bladder doesn't generate enough pressure to energise the compression seal. Rockshox's standard...

    More manufacturer woes

    Looks like Rocky Mountain may be coming to the end of the trail & GT looks like it's been shuttered too. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/rocky-mountain-files-to-restructure-in-attempt-to-avoid-bankruptcy.html...

    Best bang for your buck mid market Emtb

    Pal of mine is riding a Trek Powerfly & for various reasons has had enough of it. He's looking to upgrade but has about a million kids & so, isn't flush like the rest of us Rockefellers. What he really wants is a bigger battery, 700w/hr plus & probably no more than £3k price tag. After that...

    Kiox remote query

    Does anyone know if the Kiox non smart remote is the same unit across Kiox/Nyon? Reason being is a I need a new one & Merlin have a Nyon unit in stock but not the Kiox one. I'm aware they come in different cable lengths but are they otherwise identical?

    Kiox controller

    I managed to break the moulded clamp on mine, long shot but if anyone has one spare for the non smart system, I could be your man! South UK.
