    EMTB on Towbar Carrier?

    Bearing Man (aka emtb motor repair centre) reckons the constant full-on spray at the motor area from the vortices behind the car when driving is one of the major causes of water ingress into motors. But what would he know? :ROFLMAO: Having said that, I stopped my Skoda Yeti while driving in a...

    Other Gen 2 Trek Fuel + (EXE) Official thread.

    Forgot to mention, I use the handlebar button to go from Eco to Off, so no need to take your hands off the bars to do this.

    Other Gen 2 Trek Fuel + (EXE) Official thread.

    My Trek Fuel+ display is the colour model but it's not quite the same as the one in this video. I don't know if Trek has customised the TQ display or if maybe mine (or the one in the video) has an updated version. On the display in the video there are two sets of bars on each side of the...

    Other Gen 2 Trek Fuel + (EXE) Official thread.

    I have the 9.8 MX with colour screen and I have to hold the button for 3s to switch from Eco to Off.

    Orbea x Avinox Rumours

    Reputable source? Or just rumour?

    EMTB prices are plummeting.

    I think you'll find there is actually an extensive fetish market for them. The undies, I mean!

    Thinking of a trip to Girona

    You can get a paper map from the tourist office opposite La Hostel Canonja, but I don't think it shows any trails that aren't already on Trailforks. As Cantaloupe says, Slick Rock is a brilliant trail and it's in a sector close to the town that's full of great trails like Tazer, Maf, Tamaro...

    Thinking of a trip to Girona

    Great, glad you like it! I always stay in the hotel La Canonja. Nice rooms, really friendly, great breakfasts, and they have a decent varied 3 course evening menu for only about 12-14 euros. Also secure garage.

    Thinking of a trip to Girona

    Forgot to mention. I was there in November last year and weather was perfect!

    Thinking of a trip to Girona

    Personally I prefer the more natural and adventure style of Tremp riding, and if scenery matters to you that would be my preference of the two. From the hotels in Tremp you can easily ride out to all of the local sectors, but if you have time it's also worth a short car journey to take the...

    Thinking of a trip to Girona

    Santa Coloma de Farners just outside Girona has loads of great trails in a pretty concentrated area with two or three principle gravel road climbs from the car park to get the top. I would describe them as "manicured natural", so they're quite varied and some have series of man-made jumps in...

    What would you do...

    Since your motivation is to take out family and friends you don't really need an Avinox motor or the "risk" issues of YT. The Vala is a great bike, and you can get a range extender if you want to go on massive trips. No contest IMO.

    Any recommendations for sturdy but lightweight long trousers (trails, forest riding etc.)?

    I tucked the bottom hem a few inches up inside the trouser and kept in place with a few stitches.

    Help with bike frame sizing please.

    If you're on the cusp I'd go for the smaller size. More manageable handling for the kind of riding I imagine you'll be doing at your age, also slightly more comfortable upright body position. Good luck with your purchase and enjoy your rides!

    Any recommendations for sturdy but lightweight long trousers (trails, forest riding etc.)?

    If you like the Endura products why not have a look at their Singletrack trousers. I have a pair in red, they're very light and have a discrete zippered vent in each leg for extra ventilation (which I haven't had to use yet). They do seem to be a tad long for their waist size so they bunch up...

    Rail (750Wh) Rail Gen 5 Wheel Upgrades?

    I have a gen 2 Rail but also a Fuel+ which probably has the same OEM wheels as you. I don't tend to wreck wheels, but I bought a DT Swiss H1900 27.5 rear wheel just to try the Rail out as a mullet. I can't comment on its robustness, but if you like a quiet freewheel rear hub you will love...

    An Avinox thread rather than Amflow - why Auto is good

    Please don't take this as a critique of your comments, but I am genuinely curious how the Avinox Auto function delivers its support as compared to the Bosch eMTB mode (which I use 90% of the time). Can you elucidate what you mean when you say it "delivers the correct power at the right time"...

    Rail (750Wh) Rockshox Vivid on a Rail?

    Yes and the piggyback chamber hits the downtube at full stroke compression. Sadly the M size gen 2 frames don't have enough clearance but the larger sizes and later models with the 750Wh battery do. I think I also tried a Fox X2 and had the same issue. In the end I went for a DVO Jade X which...
