    Brand X Ascend WIRELESS dropper

    Nice idea, but longevity will be an issue (more places for water to penetrate). Just bought a replacement for my old cable dropper, £99 for a Fox 150mm, reduced for black friday at Wiggle: https://www.wiggle.com/p/fox-suspension-transfer-performance-elite-dropper-seatpost-721298816 Bargain :-)

    Bike cleaner recommendations

    Please DO NOT use as a hand cleaner, your skin can absorb the chemicals, always use gloves.

    Cable routing in frame - please STOP it....!

    I am not sure as the feel will not be the same; also latency will be noticable with brakes where its fine for gears.

    Cable routing in frame - please STOP it....!

    there is the division: practical v pretty! As for spotting the wear, it was not possible as the worn part is hidden within the swing-arm tubes. Also, note the additional cable/pipe covering ends too soon, this is a manufacturers fault.

    Cable routing in frame - please STOP it....!

    Manufacturers/designers are stupidly routing cables/wires/brake-pipes in the frame, and more recently via the head stock too. This pathetic behaviour is resulting in lots of issues for all of us: Search results for query: cable routing My Turbo Kenevo comp has done just over 2k miles, the rear...

    General Question about Giant Popularity

    I quite understand and accept your reply: you have to support Giant if you sell/ride them. Its the norm for lesser model owner/sellers to attempt to vitiate Specialized.

    What will be your next emtb? Lightweight or full fat?

    you want an automatic gear changer? I am into the belt drive, but I like to control the gears.

    What will be your next emtb? Lightweight or full fat?

    Nor am I! I agree with most of your other points too, lets hope a manufacturer is reading this...!? Cables work best hanging loose just like your balls!

    What will be your next emtb? Lightweight or full fat?

    Not in the market for a new bike at the moment (just seeing where the sway is going), checked the stats: "I'm buying one of each" = 28% must be some dedicated riders on here to own both, or too much free cash!?

    General Question about Giant Popularity

    just one Giant used in our group. Poor quality compared to any other model in our group - Specialized/Trek/Vitus - I would never buy a Giant, I would never buy a ebike using a shimano motor again either. WRONG: we do have a chinese ebike in the group. Now that is just crap, dont waste your...

    Big guy, which motor might be best?

    as far as the motor is concerned you will find the shimano lacking in power, the specialized is far more superior IMHO - owned both. I now ride a Specialized Turbo Kenevo Comp 2020 and it rarely fails on any uphill section (I take it on extreme climbs), great torque and power, smooth delivery...

    Best water bottle cage?

    as there is so little space on a fs bike I use this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393405281209? works well for me - holds my steel bottle quite well even on the rough. Photo on the listing shows a phone in the pocket, no space for that other than a medium cereal bar once my bottle is in.

    Cycling on pavements...

    OOOHhhh Jimbob, how cleverly sarcy you are!!! Sarcasm aside.... (would I have rang my bell behind the PCs? No) THIS GETS MY GOAT! Not the PCs discussion, but negative reactions to riding on the pavement. CARS are parked on most pavements today as there are TOO MANY CARS on our roads in the...

    Thinking of getting into emtb? The route I took...

    Last year I bought a Vitus e-Sommet full suspension mountain bike. It enabled me to enter into emtb'in with a decent bike at a low cost to check I was going to like and actually use it. So did I use it? I did and still do at least 3 times a week, and now I have upgraded to a more expensive...

    52! What a nipper. No wonder you ride so well and make it look easy. Mind you since about 50 I've noticed I don't bounce as well as I used to when I fall off 🥴
