    Hi all. Trail building in the uk.

    It depends on your area but some of our forestry guys are happy with it (and ride the trails themselves). It is illegal though and you could potentially get a telling off. Check the area over first. Will you be disturbing any wildlife (ground nesting birds, badgers etc). Any rare flora in your...

    Crack

    Looks like a scratch that also extends onto the headset bottom cup?

    Would my Turbo Levo be too slow on the road?

    Even with a set of slicks you're going to be doing all the work after the cut off speed, which isn't much fun on a heavy full suspension. What's your friends average pace on a ride? I'm usually averaging 18mph on an old road bike with a few small rolling hills (30ish miles). If there's a bit...

    Pedals spinning freely clockwise

    Sprag clutch bearing in the motor possibly. I thought I had this but it turned out to be the chainring spider teeth rounding/cracking where it attaches to the crank spindle.

    How many hours riding before a flat battery?

    I stick to emtb 99% of the time too, you have to back off too much in turbo to change gear, so it's only really saved for a constant gradient where your not changing gear or if your legs are shot and you want an easy climb at the end of a big day

    How many hours riding before a flat battery?

    It takes me about 1h40 to burn through a 625Wh Bosch battery going for it in turbo. That's 4x1200ft climbs, approx 20 mins for each climb and 5 min descent I'm 85kg with a 27.5kg bike 180mm travel Fairly steep climb all the way

    Bosch Gen 4 free wheel

    Cranks on a Bosch gen 4 should spin backwards without moving the chainring/chain, so sounds motor related. I'd take it to a Bosch service centre and let them send diagnostics off to Bosch. They might come good being just out of warranty...

    Set up - pins & needles in hands

    Try rotating your brake levers up a bit, they look very low which might not help

    Set up - pins & needles in hands

    You can fit higher bars as you mentioned, just be aware this will change the balance of the bike when you're descending with the seat down.

    Popular trail centres / bike parks

    This is useful for finding trails, no map view but you can search certain area's and filter by type (DH, trail centres, pumptracks etc) https://www.moredirt.com/mountain-bike-trails I also use trailforks app, that seems to cover most places.

    3D printed bike parts

    They're using AutoCAD, 3DS max and Photoshop looking at that

    3D printed bike parts

    Yes people have been doing it for years. Is what your designing that special that you're actually going to try and patent a small piece of 3D printed plastic? Good luck with that!

    Rotor size/lever leverage/stopping distance discussion

    Your right about more braking force through the front when you are hard braking (in a straight line). I don't agree about less heat being generated at the rear over the course of a long descent. You are much more likely to cook a rear brake due to the amount of time you can actually use it (not...

    next two weeks? UK ??

    There's not too much up the East coast of England really. Check out Surrey Hills for trails down South (others can recommend some other places). If you are heading North I would pass through the peak district, lake district, possibly North Yorks moors (but you'll need trailforks). Get to...

    DH World Cup thread

    Back to Val Di Sole this week. Some changes to the track, they've filled alot of the holes in so it's looking fairly smooth and added some new bits off the mainline. Some rain forecast so think it will probably be roughed up for the race on Sat. Jordan Williams (as junior) was the fastest time...

    New Pinion integrated gearbox and motor (MGU)

    We are going to have to wait and see how reliable the system is but I'd say it's better having a single point of failure (that will be a straight forward warranty swap) rather than many. I've broken motors, ripped mechs/hangers off, snapped chains, broken teeth on cassettes, sheared chainrings...

    New Pinion integrated gearbox and motor (MGU)

    Just after posting I saw some other pics in your first link in this thread, thanks! I guess you are going to want to see what gear you are in, I just want to get rid of anything that's likely to break off in a crash, and the screen next to the grip is still a bit exposed. Maybe they can have...

    New Pinion integrated gearbox and motor (MGU)

    This sounds really promising and something I want on my next ebike. Interested to hear how it rides and how battery life compares to other ebikes. Are there any pics of the other screen options and how they're mounted? I'd be keen to get away from a screen next to the grips and have something a...
