    Shop talk - 2021 Commencal

    I have a new 2021 tr race. I have the same battery problem and all I heard was clicking then no more clicking. cheers for the link. So all you did was remove the top 3 screws and the battery could come out? Does it come out so another pack can go back in or is there other parts stuck to it? I...

    Official Merida eOne-Sixty thread

    I've been having a problem with my 900e that is getting worse. I would have the rear derailluer stop working. Would turn it off, back on, working again. That then became needing to do that multiple times, remove battery, working again. Then I thought it might be the cable so I'd unplug and...

    Strava

    As someone who has KOMs and top 10s for roadbike descents in Sydney (generally out of 12k-15k riders), i can say there has been loads of cheating and crazy stuff going on for years in the roadbike arena so it's not like ebikes have suddenly changed things. Car drafting is massive. Bunch riding...

    LETS SEE YOUR RIDE FOOTAGE

    This was a clip of the rocky section which is on top of the mountain. This and the all mountain trail which was technical was my style of riding but not the greatest to watch as the speeds are much slower.

    LETS SEE YOUR RIDE FOOTAGE

    Cheers. I didn't do that much riding there so my camera footage was limited. I'm hoping to get race drone footage into my clips along with other stuff (POV gets boring). If i can get the right setup i reckon i should be able to produce some cool footage.

    LETS SEE YOUR RIDE FOOTAGE

    A run at a local trail but it was sketchy AF with debris all over the trail and rain washing away the sandy soil leaving sections of exposed rock. It was Dodge Central even being cautious. Merida 900E

    LETS SEE YOUR RIDE FOOTAGE

    Run min 8GB RAM. 16GB RAM gives headroom (my resources show 12GB usage). If RAM is not a bottleneck, upgrading won't do anything. Editing is all down to cores. More cores, faster editing. I edit on a laptop and went to 4 cores 4yrs ago. I moved to 6 now which is a leap ahead of 4. The 8 core...

    Flat pedals or Cleats?

    Shoes

    Five Tens were the unanimous shoe in a large group im in on Facebook. I bought the macaskill model and they were bang on. Sticky as all hell. Comfy. I'll stick with this brand of mtb shoe.

    Pedals.

    I run DMR Vaults on my 2 bikes. Combined with five ten shoes it's like superglue.

    What's your mileage ?

    Hey tom, Shimano say their battery is good for 60% after 1,000 charges. If you are at 2,000kms and losing mileage then ask them about warranty. Really, you shouldnt have lost more than a few percent from the battery. I charge mine after every ride and alternate between my 2 packs. Everything...

    Official Merida eOne-Sixty thread

    Hahaha hey man :) Nice Giant! The black/gold in the flesh doesn't require a thought process to determine if you like it or not. You will be glad you went with the Merida, i've started riding it to the gym instead of taking the M5 LOL.

    2019 Flyon Closer Look

    So you think there is zero difference on flat techy stuff if you have 120nm motor +pedalling vs just pedalling. There is a point where these things will start to rip up trails, yes, even on flat tech stuff as riders will start doing 25km/h into corners they'd normally enter at 17 but they will...

    2019 Flyon Closer Look

    As a nut with high power cars (and a history of motorbikes to) i always like more power but i do wonder at what point will trail destruction become undeniably obvious if new torque standards are set? 100 rider using leg power vs 100 riders using 60nm vs 100 riders using 120nm. Would there be a...

    Let's talk helmets...

    The Bontrager i have in this pic is by far the slimmest helmet i have owned or tried on but it's at the expense of side impact protection. After a crash where the side protection barely saved my head from a rock, i bought a Bell 3R (mega mushroom on me), Giro something or other (not as bad at...
