Welcome, Brendog ! I’m in Perth, and really enjoy my eMTB, I ride more and travel further than I could on my normal MTB. For those not familiar, FIFO = Fly in, fly out, a term for people who work in remote areas such as mines, of which there are many in Western Australia. Also known as CUBs...

A dab of Maple Syrup behind the ears should work.

Sounds like an epic (E-pic?) ride! Not wishing to enter a pssing contest, but we have the Munda Biddi Trail which is over 1000km (620 miles) long, so get your holidays planned! Apparently some nutter did it in 4 days on a regular mountain bike. Yep, 250km a day! One day I’ll do it, have just...

Flying snakes! Maybe we should warn visitors about them just as we do with drop bears? I hope you didn’t see any drop bears??? I took my Bold back to the shop for some adjustments and they were very keen to show me the new Jam2. Looks nice but out of my price range ☹️

Welcome! I got my Focus Bold2 about 3 weeks ago and am loving it. Still getting used to a hardtail (finances wouldn’t stretch to FS) but really enjoying the increased ability to climb and go further. I even went out on the Munda Biddi on Sunday afternoon in the rain. I must be mad! Enjoy your...

The New Bike The old one Edit: I should add that I don't like these trendy satin finish frames (or cars) so I'm pleased that I got a nice gloss finish grey and blue frame on the Bold!

Congrats on completing the Munda Biddi! I did the first 20km as a quick ride while the Bogan Cup was on (AFL) and would love to do more. Did you see that one guy did it in 4 days (I think)! Not on an e-bike, though.

Thanks, Bonz! I’ve updated the Mojo (one of the first in Oz) with tubeless tyres and a 1x11 XT drivechain. Still a great bike and other riders still comment on it. As long as I can get 26” tyres for it I’ll keep it running! My mate has a blue Mojo SL.

G’day all from Perth. I’ve just bought a 2017 Focus Bold2 and am really enjoying it. My other bike is a 2007 Ibis Mojo (a classic!) that is still going strong. I’m enjoying the extra range I get from the Focus, and the ease of climbing in places where I’d normally struggle.
