    Talk me out of a Yeti 160e

    I'm 30 months in on my 160e and still love it, yest it could have more power and yes it could have more range but you can't really compare what is to what was available at the time, it still bears most things going down and is no slouch going up, I also have a Pivot Shuttle LT, it rides lighter...

    Put deposit down then price reduction

    So why didn't you do more research before wasting your time and the retailers time, your LBS gives face face service, and in turn you receive free advice and the chance to build a rapport with the business and the people that work within it all of which cannot be measured financially, but, if...

    Linkglide 1000 miles in.

    Linkglide is vastly underrated, it's a true workhorse and its been faultless on my Yeti 160e and replacement components are insanely affordable.

    Commencal Meta Power SX with DJI Avinox coming next spring.

    No different to someone like Crestline taking pre-orders, as commencal are, before the official launch, Unno did similar before the bikes were shipped to dealers.

    Best looking e-bike? Just a bit of fun.

    Totally agree, I love the aesthetics of my shuttle LT 2023.

    Bikes Stolen.

    It doesn't matter how secure your shed or garage is, if you don't use ground anchors to secure your bikes inside your shed or garage then a determined thief will simply ride off with them, I was burgled in June 2024 and if it wasn't for the use of my Hiplok AX1000 ground anchor and DX1000 locks...

    New Yeti full power

    I really don't understand Yeti's thinking behind their new offering, I've had my160e for 3 years and as good as it is it would really benefit from a slight increase in power and more range, for Yeti to pivot 180° and move in the opposite direction is bewildering to say the least, if they don't...

    Where is the Sram Powertrain?

    Or, they have decided to pause things given that the market is in a state of flux, too many media outlets are focused on the power game and so misinforming the consumer as to what represents value in the longterm, SRAM are innovators and have more than likely decided to keep their powder dry...

    Scor bikes are closing shop

    Just like your mobile phone, brands consider them a throw away item, they're all in a state of flux, over producing product just because their competitors are and yest none of them have a USP, BNC / SCOR put their eggs in one basket, primarily focusing on the American market where adoption of...

    New 2024 Heckler with loose battery issues.

    Well done you, you shouldn't have to put up with poor design at the prices SC demand, fingers crossed for a positive outcome.

    New 2024 Heckler with loose battery issues.

    Some companies must be laughing all the way to the bank knowing that people purchasing top tier bikes are deciding to go with DIY fixes to a design / manufacturing problem, would you do the same with a car, I think not so make the manufacturers of said bike work on a solution or issue a refund...

    New motors: is Shimano transmission dead?

    A reality check for what, at no point have I mentioned EMTB specific anything, hence XTR on a Pivot Shuttle, XTR is specific to a bike no matter if it's motorised or not, SLX came as standard on my Yeti e160 and was not fit for purpose, we all have our go-to components, there are those of us...

    New motors: is Shimano transmission dead?

    Why would you suggest avoiding Shimano Cues if you have no experience with it, fitted to my Yeti 160e the rear cassette and mech served me for 1300 miles in a typical Yorkshire winter, the equivalent XTR on my Pivot Shuttle served me for slightly longer, granted, XT is the workhorse of the...

    DJI Just Unlocked 1000W. What Now?

    Shimano are where Specialized/Brose were 5 years ago, the whipping boy of the motor world but 2 plus years on the EP801 and not even an error code, I'm within 10 minutes of 2 local Shimano service centres, granted they won't be stripping any motor, £650 for a replacement EP801, should it fail...

    DJI Just Unlocked 1000W. What Now?

    And I stand by that the smart money is on Bosch, I didn't say that I have Bosch powered bikes, quite the opposite, I have Shimano EP801 powered bikes, Yeti and Pivot as the Integration and aesthetics of the bikes are what appeals to me, if the Integration of the Bosch motor was as attractive as...
