Firstly to be legal in the UK and Europe they are all assist. If it can move without being pedalled it is not an ebike it is a moped and is subject to a different set of rules. (I hope no one mentions rolling down hill. That would be a distraction) Don't put too much faith in magazine or web based r...

A few years ago I thought I might get interested in caving or potholing. I rapidly went off the idea but did find out about a pothole called Alum Pot. It has a stream flowing through it which pops up out of the ground again at Turn Dub. The odd thing is that Turn Dub is on the opposite side of the r...

I don't think the comments have been unhelpful.

I wondered if anyone had tried them.

I was wondering if anyone had fitted/used them. The tubed version particularly.

The sidewall protection is to try to save the rims rather than the tyres as far as I know.

They also mention the ability to run much lower tyre pressures than usual with tubes.

Overall, sounds way too good to be true.

Has anyone tried Tannus Armour?

There used to be just a tubed version but there is a tubeless version as well now which must be relatively new.

I looked at the review at :- https://bikepacking.com/gear/pinion-gearbox-review/ It seems very comprehensive and fair except for two things. I think the guy in the video mentioned the belt stretching or if he didn't use the word stretch he showed that he could rotate the crank a couple of degrees be...

If I didn't need an eBike I would struggle to choose between the Rohloff hub and the Pinion gearbox but have a look here :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_hx4V9mYuw This guy travels the world by bike and so has a lot of experience with the Pinion (and the Rohloff) and belt drives Some of his info...

Phuk me i only posted it for a bit of light-hearted relief and look what's happened

Could have been much worse. You could have mentioned eBikes with Rohloff hubs and belt drives

Cor, I saw godivatrailriders comments last night and I generally agree with the first half but was going to add a few comments about the the second half but this morning I find that Jurassic has said it all for me (I'd put a smiley face in here now if I could figure out how to do it) I will add a li...

Lots more comments since I last looked and actually more positive than I expected but a couple of things are worth mentioning. i.e. eBikes are not used by lazy people. Lazy people are perfectly healthy people who sit at home watching the TV. They don't use a bike of any kind. You can have whatever l...

Wow, I can't believe I didn't think of it myself but yes it is an e-mower too.

In keeping with the rest of the forest my garden is all up and down.

I came across the comments about ebikes recently and as an owner for the last 4 years I feel the need to throw in my thoughts. I bought mine because I'm an old git who started riding at 68 and has never developed whatever muscles are needed for prolonged pedalling up hills. I live and cycle in the F...

Topeak Mini MorphG pump (the version with the pressure gauge but note the pressure gauge starts at 30psi and goes up in 20psi increments so more suited to road bikes but the pump itself is very good) £15 inc postage Ultimate USE VYBE Shokpost 31.6mm dia post with medium and hard springs and elastome...

I have a Shimano 10 speed cassette that is surplus to requirements at the moment.

Spec is CS-HG50-10 11-36T and I am looking for £25 including postage.

Brand new, unused, still in the box - bought in error (embarrassing)

I have a pair of Bontrager XR3 29 x 2.4 They've done about 1000 miles and are in reasonable condition as far as I remember. You can have them if you want them.

Where are you in the country (roughly) I am in The Forest of Dean.

Ultimate Use VYBE Shokpost for sale. 31.6mm dia post with medium and hard springs and elastomers + unopened service kit. I'm asking £50 plus postage. This was great for a year but in a moment of madness I splashed out on a Thudbuster which is better for me but a lot more expensive hence trying to re...

No problem - thanks for letting me know - Everything else has gone - I was a bit overwhelmed by the response.

Possibly interested in the sleep mat, if its still available. Hi I'm asking £40 for it and I spoke to a guy a couple of hours ago who will say yes or no tomorrow. He is tall and it is a 3/4 length mat - he wants to check that his bum won't hang off the end. If he says no I will contact you Regards ...

Sorry it's gone. I was surprised how much interest there was in it.

Interested in the quantum bag, please DM a price I have a budget for a new bag but it maybe a bit shy of what you want

Hi, I'm looking for £75 + postage.

It was only used a couple of times and looks like new.
