I’ve had various different brakes from Shimano and SRAM over the years. My old Stumpjumper still has SRAM Codes on it, which have always performed well. When I got my first Levo SL, its had SRAM G2 RSC brakes. I did a few rides with them before replacing them with Magura MT7’s. The G2’s felt...

My Lyrik Ultimate appears to have a leak! About 2 weeks ago, I rode Heartbreak Ridge, which has some pretty savage terrain. At the end of the ride, I noticed a little sand / grit stuck to the charger cap. Didn't really think much of it. Washed the bike and put it away. I've done a couple of...

I've just been on my bike for the first time in about 6 months. Was diagnosed with the 'C' word (not C**T!!) in October, and have been unable to do any physical activity until recently. I've been doing some Zwift over the last few weeks, but the return from the Easter holidays was my goal for...

I’ve been experimenting with various bells over the last few years. I haven’t had a bell on my bike for about 12+ years prior to that, and never really needed one until Covid. It seemed that Covid unearthed a whole new generation of walkers, runners and dog walkers… that now use a lot of the...

My daughter is growing fast, and has now moved up from her 20” wheeled Specialized RipRock, to a 27.5” Rockhopper. She looks ridiculous on it, but I’m sure she’ll grow into it soon. Her immaculate pink Riprock is now going through ‘gender reassignment’ treatment (hope this doesn’t offend...

Not EMTB related, but I know someone on here will know the answer. My girl has moved on from her 20” Specialized RipRock onto a 27.5” Rockhopper Expert. The Riprock is a great bike, and I’d love to re-purpose it for my son in about a year when he’s big enough. It’s bright pink though… which...

My daughter got a new bike for her birthday, and yesterday took her maiden voyage... That now leaves her old Specialized Riprock redundant. It's bright pink, and in immaculate condition. Previously, I've found kids bikes sell for a fraction of what they cost... so I loathe the thought of...

This is a non EMTB question, but hopefully someone can help me anyway… I bought my daughter a Specialized Rockhopper for her birthday. She’s going to be 9, and I’ve got her an XS ‘Expert’ model. Grandma is the one buying it, so I had to get the best deal possible. This meant ordering online…...

This isn't specifically an eMTB question, but hopefully someone can help? My daughter will be 9 in about 6 weeks. She's currently on a 20" Specialized Hotrock 20", which she had outgrown at the end last year. She's a "girly" girl, and loves pink / purple / turquoise etc... and all her bikes...

I bought the Mucky Nuts Rear Mudguard (Eco savvy Mudguards, Custom Fenders and Frame Protection for Mountain Bikes | MTB | DH | Enduro | XC | Fat Bike | Road Bike) in the Black Friday sale. Between one thing and another, I’ve never got round to fitting it. I was going to pop it on just now...

The UK is in the middle of storm Gerrit, and to be honest some of my local trails still haven’t recovered from Arwen over 2 years ago. I often have to dismount and climb over fallen trees or get re-routed to avoid them. Last summer, I ended up hacking some fallen trees up with a big wood saw...

Random question... Does anyone have conical washers on their rear brakes? For the last 3 years I've just had standard bolts with a washer straight through the brake and into the frame. I don't have any postmount adapter on the rear (180mm rotors) but have never had an issue. The bolts were...

I’ve been running the T-Type transmission for about 4 months now. About 5 weeks ago I’d washed my bike and left it for an hour or so to dry off before lubing the drivetrain. I normally run the chain round a couple of times with the lube on it… then run it back and forth through the gears...
