I'm recovering from a broken ankle, a couple of screws and 10 weeks later back on the bike but not yet ready for proper trails. I wouldn't mess about, go to A&E, get it E-rayed, if not broken it may need a boot and some weeks rest before starting physio. It may also be nothing, but why...

Another vote for the Giant Reign, have an E+1 and it feels unshakable when hammering down trails. 63º HA with a flip chip, Fox 38, great brakes, climbs great, very little to touch the spec for the money. Stick some Assegai DH tyres on it and away you go. Local support for when things go wrong...

Magicshine 6500, let night become day!

So went with the Hopes, chunky at 2.4 kilos but hopefully that translates to strength. Put a Nukeproof Ard on the back for good measure. €550 all in, happy with that.

Shipping in January.....!

I had a set of Carbon wheels from Stuart and couldn't agree more, outstanding wheels and service if you are looking for Carbon. This time out though I'm going Alu.

Running around 25psi in the rear with a DHF DD casing. No insert, I may have to rethink that if I do replace these wheels.

Not too concerned about the weight, but heavy usually means strong!

Mullet and Aluminium, looking at Hope Fortis 30 as an option.

Wheels on the Reign are made of cheese, some impressive dings in the rear after 4 months. Any recommendations for a good value but strong wheelset?

A lot of us felt that way, then got an eBike and now have a dusty analogue bike that only gets used when the ebike is out of action.

New to this tag thing but sounds like a good idea. Any tag recommendations for Android?

Yes with some such as Nukeproof ARD which are known for this as they stretch, not sure about the other inserts.

New to this, anything wrong with inserting the battery at home, sticking it on the rack and driving to the trails, versus inserting it at the trailhead? The 2 Bike rack is rated for ebikes.

Thanks Mike, I was under the impression this had to be done after every spin in winter to make sure everything is dry. You reckon that is overkill?

Can someone advise what is the procedure for using contact cleaner after a spin when cleaning the bike? Do you spray both battery contacts once removed and contacts in the frame? Leave to dry naturally or wipe off? TIA

Have always used a two bar mounted Maypole scissor rack. Never an issue with a 15kg bike, but concerned that having 25kg hanging off it will be too much stress on the frame. Worst case scenario is the frame actually getting dented in those areas. Is there some kind of rule about when a bike is...
