    Summer Gloves

    Had a few over the years Fox, Endura, TLD, 100% (which are my winter choice) but I'm quite pleased with the Tasco Double Digits. Thin and simple and exactly what I want with no straps to tie, not really going to save you from much more than a gravel rash but airy and comfortable enough in hot...

    My old stem was perfectly fine, but even that didn't help

    What's the coldest that you've gone for a bike ride?

    These numbers are irrelevant. Its the windchill that gets you.

    Hemp Battery Technology

    This seems quite promising, cheaper production costs compared to traditional battery manufacture, and 8 times more power, which I imagine could be translated into a lighter smaller capacity too. Hemp fibres 'better than graphene' Cue sensible replies and weed related puns ?

    EP8 Aftermarket Availability

    I think you feel let down by Shimano because this is the first bike component to have an element of, oh I dunno let's call it "cock blocking" by the manufacturer. You wanted those new wheels? bolt em up! Fancy an XTR shifter? fill ya boots. In that regard the component known as the motor is...

    My. biking or biking in the mountains

    I like big jumps as much as the next guy, but thats not all of my rides. My riding is everything from attempting decent sized jump lines to bikepacking and gentle rides with my little dog by my side, as well as all day battery depleting rides. I still think there is a place for a full...

    Flat pedals recomendtions please!!

    Yet another Vault user here, Chiming in cos I use the moto pins (thinner than stock) but only in the centre to give the pins an even more concave effect on top of the pedal design. Works well enough to be repeated on both my Vault equiped bikes ;)

    Winter clothing

    I've had a pair for a while. Good waterproofing, although I resist washing, just wiped down to keep the waterproof coating intact. Thin enough to use on milder days too, comfortable fit. They have been snagged on something and ripped a small hole on one thigh so not super tough, still like...

    when the last time you rode your non emtb?

    Last weekend. Its only really used for specific short jump lines these days. Even a simple journey deemed ok for my retired hardtail gets ebiked now. Only other times I might use it would be if I want to give the dog a chance to keep up, or level the playing field for non e bike buddies...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Bit of an all around fork freshen up. My mountain bike got a 2.1 Charger and the the eeb got the hand me down Charger from an early basic Lyrik, which is...er a bit like an RCT3 but without the lockout, Charger 1.0 maybe? Anyway even that, poo's from a great height over the MOCO. Lower leg...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Think I've amassed enough bags for an adventure! Just need this lockdown to end and I can start isolating properly :p Newbies are the Alpkit top tube bag and stem bag to take up space lost from my full frame bag on the last bike given bikepacking duties.

    Carbon fiber wheels: Waste of money or totally worth it?

    Carbon rims are like carbon bars......and alloy bars....and ally rims, There are good ones and there are bad ones. All are just really balancing the compromising act of comfort vs performance. I've been riding Derby rims on my MTB since 2016 and I'm very pleased with their characteristics, so...

    eBike Specific Wheels vs Non-eBike Wheels

    I think for non specific e bike rims you'd want them to be DH rated really. I will be if(read when:p) I build up or buy some wheels (y) That said, you've got them and they are sitting there not doing much else....risk it for a biscuit :D I've some rather fancy custom build wheelset on my...

    A visual representation of when your commuting budget is diverted to the only vehicle left in use ;)
