    Whats the best full power, Full 29'er on the market today ??

    That Crestline sure looks nice I've had a few Levos and switched to a Rocky Mt Instinct a year ago. The dyname motor is the best I've ever ridden

    Hope, any good or average and overhyped??

    Here on the East Coast of the Troubled States of America I stopped upgrading with Hope brakes, even thought they performed very well, because parts replacement were very difficult to get.

    Hope, any good or average and overhyped??

    I loved my Hope 4 piston brakes (this was several years ago and I don't remember the model) but living in the US, replacement parts were very hard to get.

    Is there a trend towards narrower rims and tyres?

    Does anyone know what size tires they run at Red Bull Rampage? Do they use inserts?

    Can't do flat pedals.

    IMHO flats require more skill and technique (that I sadly don't have) However a big advantage to clips is the easy extra horsepower that you can generate from your hamstring muscles on the upstroke.

    E biking has opened up a lot of new territory for trail building

    It's not bad and wider than it looks, but riding it the other way, going downhill, approaching the skinny, is much harder --usually walk overall, it's low risk, low consequence

    Fats or Studs? which are best for winter riding?

    Fats or Studs? which are best for winter riding?

    Today with 2" of fresh in New England fat tires might have helped me up on steep hills that I spun out on with the 45 North studded tires. But that would mean an entirely different bike. Can anyone tempt me with a great fat tire electric bike? And we only have deep soft snow for a few days a...

    Wash stand

    This is a great stand (but not cheap). But it's a little awkward to get a heavy E bike (not shown in photo 'cause it's in LBS) loaded--interested how others do it And you need a hollow crank spindle

    App for mtb routes

    I'm in USA I've tried Trailforks, AllTrails, and Gaia I find that unauthorized rails (like "Gloucester spot") tend to be on Gaia but not the other two apps. But the other apps have a few trails and features that Gaia doesn't. They all are pretty good IMHO
