Wait awhile, someone will nick it and sell it for a 5ver down the pub

I like the over run. As I come into a gnarly corner and have to reset pedal stroke so as not to clip a rock or stump the bike just kicks on through and I'm off again, it's great. I'd think twice before you change it.

My Chinese carbon rims had a sticker essentially saying these wheels will wear out over time. They are Chinese rims no doubt made in the same place as any other carbon rims. They definitely look the part offset spokes etc, and I didn't pay a lot for them. I'm impressed with them but just...

Hi all, It may very well be somewhere in this 42 page discussion, so I apologise if it is. Has anyone had any success with the Bafang Go app. For me the app just turns off. I can open settings but that's about it. Push anything else and it closes. Disappointing at the least.

OK we'll that's a bit shit. I have never heard of Joysebike. I think most of us dealt with Dengfu, (unless dengfu changed it's name?) Never had a good experience with PayPal they screwed me big time. We have very strong consumer laws here in Australia, (PayPals job is to run interference with...

Hi Martin, just wondering how you went with your Bafang motor?

I do like the Suron. But emtb with a little less power would be better for me. Less of me trying to keep up with motor. I think there is a technique to ridding these things. Anyway hope it all works out for you. cheers

It's certainly a bit of bad luck. I have had a great experience with my Chinese carbon frame. M600 motor is a learning curve however. I wanted emtb so I had enough energy for the down hill and twisty adrenaline rush. (I'm 65) But riding up hill even in the lowest assist is a kin to a spin class...

That's not a failure. It's still true isn't it. Carbon fibre totally repairable. If anything I'd say it demonstrates just how good they are. However they do come with a sticker on the rims stating that they wear out. I have never seen that on other bike rims.

This is a lot of chatting. To much for me to read. So on from the beginning, for what it's worth I find the emtb almost like a spin class. The best thing I have ever done. I have been riding all my life and personally really appreciate when hit a techy climb and ordinarily expecting my legs to...

The geometry of bikes today gives you so much confidence. And deservedly so they just handle everything so much better. I started decade's ago on a hardtail. I wanted it light and easy to throw around. My first full suspension was a V900 canondale. I would never go back to hard tail. I have this...

I built the cheeb during the lock downs. Still trying to figure out the best way to ride it. At 65 I'm bombing down hills over jumps and stuff I never even tried 30 years ago. I love this thing and as I built it myself I know it inside out etc. Only thing I'm not sure about is when I ride...

Just quietly following this build. Checked Dengfu web site from a google search for e10. And nothing. Im in Australia and I built the V1 e10 and thinking maybe build a second bike. Have the e10 been taken off the market or is it no longer available down here in oz? Anyone know? Cheers all happy...

If you have your own MTB that you can use parts from then it is dirt cheap to build. If your doing it with all new parts as I did then you can expect to pay around $7k+.

A mate of mine bought a KTM emtb new from a shop in Melbourne for $7K. He chipped it and it does 60kph assist. So he has full shop warranty on a known brand bike. My low end spec total diy build E10 cost $6800. Thats with a nos dropper post($200), saddle and bars off my old bike. I have Chinese...

Reach is the only measurement I go by. It can't be changed regardless of what wheels you run. It is a fixed measurement. There is a formula on google search that will give your ideal reach based on your body measurement . You then simply buy the frame closest to the measurement. I personally...

17". I'm 171cm and it is perfect. Mullet btw.

No idea what the torque is.

I must say I was surprised to see the crud on the top of my mud guard. I thought it was supposed to be under the mud guard. The front guard was clean but the down tube was unexpectedly covered. My bum was clean and dry, so that was good.

Some nice innovations there. Like the bash guard and foam around the brake/gear cables. I really like the spare parts bit, very handy.
