    Can I just buy the SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS "upgrade kit" for my Trek Rail 7?

    As far as I know, yes. If you need help shipping, I can help you out. But I can’t tell if that saves you money in the end. The owner of that company is from Poland living in the Netherlands. He is also the distributor of the brand Antidote. he speaks English.

    Propain demo bikes

    Not the UK.. but they do offer free test rides at their local shop in Germany. Do keep in mind that it’s a fairly small brand and only have one store. All the employees are bikers and that’s great.. but that also made it clear for me that selling bikes is not their best quality. I ordered one...

    Ebike tire showdown. Michelin E wild vs Schwalbe Eddie Current

    They shipped me the normal Wild Enduro’s 2.4. The patern looks 100% identical to your e-wilds to be honest. Only my front tyre middle patern looks thicker? Left is rear, right is front.

    Ebike tire showdown. Michelin E wild vs Schwalbe Eddie Current

    I’ve tested the normal “wilds” in 2.4 29” which are also ebike certified. Cant complain! My review: Michelin Wild Enduro Gum-X Front / Rear 29" Overall: Great allrounder and holding up with the rest of the competition in dry/moist conditions. I would really recommend these tyres to anybody...

    Magura Estop

    - brake light compatible - rotor 220mm - rotor is thicker - brake pads are different (this “advantage” is over when you change out for new sintered pads) If you only change the rotors on your regular MT5/MT7’s you pretty much have the same except for the ebike logo’s and brake light support.

    Chainstay length

    The “rule” is that shorter chainstay equals a more playfull bike. But it’s not as easy as that. You also have to look at the seat angle, head angle and such things as reach.. With modern geometry changes the 29ers can also be very playfull. But, with a chainstay of 470mm on a 27.5 bike i’m...

    Article Bargain pads? No panic when it comes to Disco

    Lol, i buy mine sintered (gold) from AliExpress brand “Bikein”. They are good for regular trails and the cheapest ever. Not suited for enduro/DH. The sintered doesnt make any noise, brake good in all conditions and last pretty long.

    Transporting your ebike.

    I have a original electric “swing away” towbar in my 3 series (F30) and placed a aftermarket Thule removable towbar in my Audi A3 (8V-FL). Both feel the same and do the same. Don’t believe the BMW dealer about the runners and the electronical integration. The runners story is BS, the...
