Despite being a cheeseburger eating barbarian unit using luddite american, i still feel that grey should be spelled with an e and not with an A...

Most commonly:
“A” = American
“E” = English
In school (American) learned alphabet pronunciation as A, E, I, O…..
of course there is Canadian long “E” as used in !Eh

here it is, it's HUGE:

You can get a better idea of its size by looking at the following picture:

The bag is from a company called DAISTERN, and has a metal frame, not visible in the picture, supporting the bag so that it doesn't bent and touch the front wheel.

And this is the "Stone the herectic" thread, so, no better place to post a picture of an e-MTB, on asphalt, with panniers, and... a cat. Start throwing, no worries... :)

I was talking about the cat 😂

You should know that if you ask a cat person for  A picture of his cat... you risk to be submerged by a ZILLION of pictures of the very same animal for the rest of your life, all almost equal and mostly of him/her sleeping or involved in definitely boring and repetitive activity.

However, I will spare the forum owner of quickly saturating bandwidth and his web space by sending only one of him, and not licking his ass as usual when you point the lens:

... but don't ask for more.

Oops, tyres - depends a lot on the conditions/surface type. For general riding, yes, makes not much difference in the scheme of things.

Derailleurs , should be banned because no one can spell it, even though they work well, are simple, light weight and reasonably robust considering what we do to them !!

Agreed with the derailleur comment. I've been mountain biking since it was a thing,started in the late 80's and never really stopped. I've broken 2 in all those years and im 95kg and ride pretty hard,even now at 56. I've had the same xo rear derailleur for the past 8 years on my bike and it still shifts perfectly.
 
Unpopular opinions?

Haven't contributed to this for a while but go on then...

Buying a 150/160/170mm/180mm trail or enduro emtb and proceeding to only ride fireroads, bridleways, access paths and blue trails then posting your Strava stats to riders/bike owners facebook group with 30 miles covered and 750ft of ascent climbed

Part of me thinks "you do you, live and let live" another part of me thinks "You could have done that ride on a 120mm hardtail XC bike and probably enjoyed it more, and sort of negates the need for a motor unless you've got knackered hips or knees"
