    My first EMTB races!

    It’s soooo good here! There’s something on all the time and rarely more than a 4-5hr drive from me. Being able to enter the Army series as a veteran is awesome too!

    My first EMTB races!

    My last 2 rides on my Whyte Kado have been races, my first races in an e-bike category and they’ve been so much fun. First up was the Army Cycling Enduro Series at Forest of Dean. It’s a mashup series so the e-bike really comes into it’s own being able to winch and plummet as many times as you...

    It’s not about the number of gears… it’s about the gear ratio My Box drivetrain has 9 gears but an even spread from 11t to 50th There’s nothing I can’t climb with that that you can with 12cogs. (Unless skill becomes a factor, then I may struggle 😂)

    I’ve been using Box2 Prime9 for years on my Enduro, Hardtail and Fat bikes. Currently running the standard Cues 11spd that came on my Kado till it’s worn out and I don’t shift under load so I don’t know about that too much Shifting can be a bit agricultural but I don’t mind for the price and...

    I always found the clutch too weak for me on the Box 8

    What second bike would you buy for fitness? (gravel vs hardtail)

    Second bike‽ What’s that all about‽ My Kado is number 6 in the fleet! 😂 In all seriousness if I had to slim down the fleet to just 2 I would keep the Hardtail and the e-bike, especially in your circumstances The Hardtail does the same job as my Fat bike, Gravel bike and Enduro bike, but...

    Drivetrains are a consumable item. If you’re running a 12 speed (especially on an e-bike) you’ve probably got more money than sense I’d rather run a Box 9 Speed with an 11-50 range that shifts ok but lasts 3-4 times longer and the whole drivetrain costs less than a SRAM cassette.

    I stripped all the OE parts that I didn’t want from my Kado, put on the parts I wanted, then sold the OE stuff to offset the cost. Using Black Friday sales to buy my bits, then waiting a couple of months for the Black Friday and January sales to calm down to sell my bits, I ended up bolting on...

    My gravel bike has a dropper post, I also have a Fat Bike… neither have a suspension fork, that’s what my Enduro, Hardtail, E-bike and DH bikes are for

    What did you do to your EBike this week?

    Great choice! I put a Super Deluxe Coil on my Kado straight out of the box. You’re probably going to struggle to get a bottle in once you’ve fitted it though as the reservoir gets in the way. My frame is a size large, I got around it by flipping the standard Fidlock bottle mount on the frame...

    What did you do to your EBike this week?

    Took my Kado for its first trip to Forest of Dean on Tuesday, blew my mind how many laps I could do and how much fun I could have as well as how quickly I could get from bottom back to top. Then stayed in Forest of Dean for Wednesday to race in the Army Cycling Enduro Series for my first enduro...

    Big Day!!!!

    My Smiles to Miles Trials continued yesterday … this time seeing what I could get out of the 600wh battery. Similar trail conditions, warmer day and as before stayed in my customised Tour+ setting as above. 25miles, 4300ft of climbs 1% battery left at the end. Pretty decent in my opinion...
