    Backpack Essentials

    Spare mech hanger, I've never needed to use it yet but no doubt the day I don't take it will be the day I need it.

    Helmet - yes or no or it depends?

    This is a forum, full of advice for both children and adults. It's important to give sound advice regardless of age, nobody is telling anyone what to do. That's the beauty of advice, you can take it or leave it. What we can do is provide sound advice, again based on fact. It's a fact that...

    Helmet - yes or no or it depends?

    Some crazy comments popping up, personal opinion/preference/knowing your limits or not you never know when your luck/talent will run out. Wearing a lid provides some protection and so should really be worn. That's the advise and example we should be giving.

    Lets see your bike pics

    Are you sure? There looks to be a hell of a ding where the mech hanger bolt is? Unless the light is playing tricks on me.

    Lets see your bike pics

    My Jam2 up Rivington Pike, 210 miles and 33,000ft covered in the last 30 days since buying it. A mighty fine piece of kit.

    STUnlocker Android App for Shimano motors is available

    App works great, reduced Eco to 45/30 which is perfect. One query though, is it pulling in battery cycles through for everyone? I've checked both batteries on my focus and despite having discharged both of them a couple of times the cycles state zero for both. Unless my understanding of a cycle...

    Ride out picture thread

    "Almost the Delyn" around the Clwyds, trying to see how far I can push the batteries. Still had two bars left on the internal.

    E Mtb Exercise v MTB Exercise

    I totally agree, the benefit of an ebike is it allows you to better modulate your HR over a more varied terrain and potentially distance. An incredibly unfit individual might start punching through HR zones on a canal tow path which isn't beneficial and potentially dangerous, an ebike would help...

    E Mtb Exercise v MTB Exercise

    I'm not kidding anyone, as someone who has a degree in the field and having worked with elite athletes as well as individuals with health and/or weight problems it's important we don't encourage anyone who doesn't already have a good level of fitness to go straight in to high intensity exercise...

    E Mtb Exercise v MTB Exercise

    This is Bob on, anyone wanting to lose weight will likely gain more benefit from an ebike as you can maintain a lower HR zone over the same terrain and potentially go for longer (depending on fitness). Long and low is key.

    EMTB riders / ride outs in north of England ?

    If you have the time you should incorporate some riding around Ruabon Mountain too, finish off with a lap of the trail centre and some good food. Some hidden gems beyond the masts.

    EMTB riders / ride outs in north of England ?

    I ride North West/North Wales. Stretching from the Peaks to Snowdonia, mostly on the standard bike to date as I'm new to the ebike. Spent time around the Peaks, Gisburn, Rivington, Lee and Cragg, Clwydian range, Degla and the surrounding area (a lot - some incredible natural around there) so if...

    can't make decision

    If that itch is there now it isn't going to go away until you scratch it. I had a toss up between a Process 153 dl or an ebike last year and the Process won, six months later I sold the Process as I could do everything the Process could do on my Honzo. I've now bought an ebike which is what I...

    Mileage on the odometer from new?

    Thanks Steve, I've emailed them anyway just to get clarification. The supplier sells ex-demo and return bikes so to me any bike that has mileage on it should fall under one of those categories. Regardless it's going out tomorrow around Llandegla/Worlds End for it's maiden spin.

    Mileage on the odometer from new?

    Hi all, Took delivery of my Jam2 late yesterday evening so set the bike up and charged her up before going to bed. Switched it on for the first time this morning and there are 8 miles on the odometer despite the bike being bought brand new. Having bought and set up a few analogue bikes I...
