    How much difference does "better" suspension actually make?

    Well. I’ve managed to save thousands of pounds by actually bothering to set up what I have. Went to the RockShox Trailhead site and plugged in my data. I’ve set the pressures and rebound as advised and shockingly they do feel a lot better. Kinda embarrassed that I didn’t do this sooner. My fork...

    Thanks for that. Enjoy Tarland and Laggan. Two of my fav places. Maybe worth looking in on Glen Livet. Halfway between the two.

    Show us your Whyte bits

    Yeah. I didn’t like the RSX. It was some murky green colour. The bike has served me well so far. But maybe time for some new bits.

    At the time I didn’t consider £5600 to be low end. 😀 I’m 18 months and 5500km in on this bike. Been thinking about new new shock at least as my current one is showing signs of wear. If there is a next bike for me then I’ll be looking further up the spec charts. 👍🏻

    How much difference does "better" suspension actually make?

    My bike, Whyte e-160s, came with fairly basic suspension. A Zeb with Charger R Damper and a RockShox Deluxe Select+. If I was to upgrade both to something "better" what would I actually notice? I'm by no means an advanced rider, intermediate at best, so not sure what improvements would bring...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Lights! Lezyne 1800+ (£112 in Tiso after 30% off) Bontrager Ion Elite R (£90 in Tiso) I’ve gerry-rigged the Bontrager to my helmet till a proper mount turns up. Just back from a test ride in a local park. So much fun. Hopefully hit the trails with it sometime this week. First time I’ve used...

    GX AXS reset

    My battery terminals have failed too. Sigh. I’ve currently jerry-rigged it in the short term till it hopefully gets warrantied. 🤞🏻

    Shigura vs Hope T4V4

    Now I’m looking at the Saint brakes. But can they be used with 2.4mm rotors? 🤔
