Got to be the right age to recognise Pinhead... and to be honest if Doug Bradley was to be pinned up again he'd still look scary as hell!

The Kenevo is a down hill monster , you made the right choice by going for the bike you did , it’s my first ebike too , watch embn on you tube learnt a lot about them and they give good advice , I bought the bike I have by watching Rob rides also another channel with sound advice and opinions

That’s what I wanna do, downhill almost feel like il go over the handle bars on my Levo aha

 

[Legendary-dave]

Hahaha same as me ….and I have !!!…..broke ribs and concussion wearing a regular trail helmet but it didn’t have MIPS …..if your going down that dark path I recommend a full face helmet plus armour …. Looks bad ass I think …. I bought the smith mainline helmet and crashed first time of wearing it …. Banged head hard …never felt a thing

 

[micromental]

That’s my current helmet kinda like it pretty comfortable which has the mips system and crash sensor

You and your twin really do look identical!

 

[Legendary-dave]

That’s cool , I didn’t even think about that when I got my first trail helmet , it was a poc tectal race …. Looks amazing but doesn’t protect against flying like Neo in matrix ,

Didn’t realise I posted it twice stupid iPhone

What you thinking of getting , have you got ebike specific brake pads , I’ve got the hope v4 brakes and just started using ebike specific pads and they are very impressive

Pinhead is the guy with the grid markings on his head and face. Pins were inserted at each intersection. I didn't know Pinhead was his name, but seems obvious now.

Well I have just got back I got new bars (high rise) and a new stem (shorter than stock) was supposed to be £168 but they accepted £155 photos to follow might not be everyone’s cuppa tea but my opinion after 20mins of riding they don’t half make a difference to the way she rides think she’s gunna be a lot better in control aspect down the steeps

Next weekend il be booking it in for a service just done 1069 miles eventually I’m gunna get the hope tech evo 4 brakes as I have had a good experience with them and I’m think of going down the hope floating rotors with the adapters to fit them obviously but will have to see how money works out as I’m now skint and only get paid £150 a week

Another recommendation for later on , gopro and chest mount

Iv already got a chest mount and a go pro but my GoPro is just a hero doesn’t come out of the case, I’d love to get one of the newer ones but I can’t afford the £500price tag

Yeah I know a lot of bike upgrades are so expensive and tech is very expensive aswell , the hero 7 is at a good price , I’ve got that ….. it shoots some good footage
