    Went through water today, wet f**king feet again, p*issed off :(

    Thankfully I can ride with or without them and my five tens still seem to fit fine.

    Went through water today, wet f**king feet again, p*issed off :(

    Waterproof socks are the answer.

    What pump do you take out with you?

    Like some others, I just bring a CO2 inflator as I am generally not far from the car. If I was on an epic somewhere I would bring a small pump and a tube as well.

    Black Friday Nonsence!!

    I know there's a lot of rubbish in the sales, but my pal grabbed a Dissent frame for about £550 which is a proper bargain.

    Show us your Whyte bits

    This is really making me want to put my 38s on mine.

    How do I safely wash my giant eMTB when it gets all muddy?

    I use battery pressure washer. This time of year the bike is filthy almost every ride. I'm careful around potentially risky stuff, dry carefully and store inside. Not had any issues. I definitely try to wash the bike as fee times as I can, but sometimes there's just no choice.

    Bike cleaner recommendations

    Yeah, the key is getting into the habit of not letting it sit being caked in crap.

    Bike cleaner recommendations

    I just use a brush and water. Not washing my bike is just not an option in Scottish Winter (or summer). Once inside I wipe down with a cloth and lube the things that need lubed.

    Got my Heckler SL - First Ride and First Post

    Indeed, it's a very tidy design.

    Got my Heckler SL - First Ride and First Post

    Must be one of the most (if not the) least e bike looking e bike. The SC plan of making all their frames fat suddenly seems like genius! If I had the dough (and was after an SL bike) I do think this would be top of the list.

    Best glasses for winter/dark times?

    Ah I see. The Sun Gods are 89% I think.

    Best glasses for winter/dark times?

    I have sun gods with completely clear lenses. Can you not just get clear lenses for your current glasses?

    Massively complex question - should I buy EMTB and if so, which one?

    Yeah fair enough. It just doesn't really make sense to me. I suppose this is the internet where we can say one thing is more fun than another as if it's a indisputable fact.

    Did Pivot miss the boat with GX Transmission?

    It's a nice to have but certainly not a deal breaker for me personally. Also as far as I'm aware you can no longer do the Shimano/axs combination (and you wouldn't want to) on the new Transmission. You can still run the old combo on any bike.

    Massively complex question - should I buy EMTB and if so, which one?

    Great bike, but this is just not true. Any FF will absolutely murder a KSL uphill with way less effort.

    Polygon Siskiu T7E

    Looks great. I (surprisingly) really like the colour.

    Alloy vs Carbon rims for eMTB

    I am almost certain I wouldn't be able to tell the difference :ROFLMAO:

    Trail Riding?

    Wow this is apparently a lot more complicated than I thought! I would say: Trail - anything that has been designed for MTBs. The colour or grading is largely irrelevant. Possible exceptions: Jump line Bike park (could still be full of trails!) Ft William? Is the DH World Cup track a trail...

    Pole S-Onni (Sonni)

    Absolutely. I struggle to follow the rationale of the Pole range.
