    What insurance are you using?

    I am in Quebec, my room insurer covers my bikes to 3,000$ each but i pay an extra 25$/year and they double the max per bike to 6,000$ wich is fine in my case. It mainly covers stolen bikes wich is a plague here for the last 50 years.

    Set up - pins & needles in hands

    Maybe you can prepare to cut your handlebar. Try moving your brakes levers 10mm inside on each side to see if you like it, maybe go for even shorter that is like using a riser bar it lifts your head+shoulders, less weight on your hands. I use 600mm and love it, i started at 740mm.

    Set up - pins & needles in hands

    Maybe try a few options and one might help. - Raise the front/nose of the saddle a bit it might prevent you from the tendancy to slip forward - do not hold that 100% of the time, we should relax has much as possible depending on situation at hand. Remember on any bike a small change might make...

    Tyre wear

    Depending where you live riding in winter on snow/ice is great to learn to modulate. I was riding with a regular girl last winter, it was not our first time so i knew she could handle our most expert descent. I asked her to follow me and we did it twice. She was not willing the second time but...

    I struggle to justify the price of EMTBs when this cost less….

    No question in my mind. I do not want the noise associated with snowmobile/motocross bike. I live up north with snow, ice and cold for many months. I have been carless the last 23 years. My Ebike is fun and practicle year round. Maybe a Giant/Yamaha is worth looking at, more affordable.

    Wet weather riding

    Last 23 years i do not own a car so i ride just about any day. Ice, snow, rain = no problem with Giant/Yamaha. NO I DO NOT WASH ANY BIKE. I just wipe off the excess. My bikes/Ebikes keep on rolling.

    New Bosch SX Super Light motor launched

    I do not trust any 250 battery. We all know the last 1/4 is wayyy less than 1/3 of the top 75%. It all depends how smart the system really is. Any one is happy from a 250watts after 2 years?? I know 400watts is not enough to deal with real cold and snow/ice. What is the total price with the 2...

    Selling an emtb - no warranty

    Here there is a buying season and a selling season. It depends some bikes/ebikes have a good reputation and they are easier to sell.

    Paying for your EBike

    I always pay cash. I only paid 4,000$ for a new Giant Stance. I do not plan on paying over 6,000$ for any bike.

    Ebike suggestion

    Giant tends to offer value so look at some built in your budget. You want to stay away from light Ebikes.

    Convert 29er to 27.5?

    I guess if you are into going down very fast it might feel like you have less control but it does not attrack me. It allows me to pass others much easier and i avoid trees in some snowshoes trails where trees are closer than 760.
