    Nottingham Noobie here! Advice Appreciated

    just what my bike came with and what most bikes around 5000+ come with. I think they do a deal with bike manufactures because the retail version have different coloured Maxxis logos on them. some brands do "ebike" tyres that are supposed to have less rolling resistance but from what I gathered...

    First time buyer needing help

    I'd get the Orbea wild for the Bosch motor. mainly because My current Bike is Bosch and in my country there seems to be a lot more places to diagnose/warranty a Bosch motor than there are specialised/brose

    First time emtb owner here. What tyre set up are you riders running for the UK winter (Mullet set up.)

    UK winter is basically the same as summer but 15c cooler. Unless you live in scotland then the terrain is about the same as when it was raining in the summer

    New Whyte E160 s 2023 owner ready to shred (try to)

    I have E-Mountain Core Prime Men which I doubt you can find for under 130 I'm guessing the cheaper saddles they do are just as comfortable though

    New Whyte E160 s 2023 owner ready to shred (try to)

    yea the stock saddle ain't the best, I swapped mine out for the Ergon E-MTB saddle which is amazing even to sit on for 4 hours of riding :D really expensive though. The default saddle that came with the bike started to hurt after about 30-45mins. I didn't invis my frame and don't feel bad for...

    Whyte e160 rider

    Good discounts on 160/180s recently I guess the new Whyte bikes are due in the next month or two. Perfect time to buy one I guess. I bought an E-160 s29er when they were £5.7k at the start of April and now they are £4,699 I'm not really bothered by it though, I knew it wasn't the best time to...

    Best e-mtb for a full-figured man?

    I'd go with the Bosch motor of the Haibike. Shimano current gen motors arent exactly known for reliability. With any Ebike though you should keep in mind the gears your using at low speed. people stress the motors in gears they would never be able to start off from on an analogue bike. YOu'll...

    Semi skimmed or Full Fat

    I live in a tenement apartment which basically means a flat but as you enter the door it's house stairs straight up to the living space, apart from a small cupboard inside the door for coats etc. My bike just has enough space inside the door. I've pushed it up the stairs a few times to work on...

    Semi skimmed or Full Fat

    "Full Fat Full Fun" all the way. I've got a Bosch CX and it literally eats the steepest hill I can find near me. Strava claims it's 13% Gradient but I think it's more than that Actually I'll add some street view pics of it. That's a pretty steep hill right? on my old 12kg bike I would...
