This sounds great, considering what's going on.  Good luck to all involved.

good tip on the electrical tape.  I might look at oneup's pump as well in the future..

I run an edc in the head tube with co2 attached.  Blackburn tyre plug thing, which has a strap and that wraps another co2 and head (already loaded) and a wolftooth pack pliers.  No tube because of cushcore in the back and rimpact in the front.  No been caught out...........yet.

I wonder if this is down to the fact that mountain bikers put in all the effort to get access and build the trails and then the e-bikers turn up and enjoy the spoils of their hard work?  Understandably annoying. 

I know a (now) e-biker who builds and keeps a lot of the trails in Surrey (the original one in England) running.  Does that mean meat powered riders shouldn't be using them?

Pedros for me too. I've only got one and can fit/remove a cushcore in a pretty respectable time.  It's mostly technique, but the pedros is the right tool for the job.

Interesting stuff!

I don't know why Santa Cruz still get called boutique bikes? All of their massive range of bikes are readily available and they are owned by a big company that own a few others.  That ship has sailed. 

I'm not anti e-bike, but am still resisting getting one - but not sure why.  I hope when it does happen, I don't regret getting one years before.

I hope you asked the Tree's permission first!!??

I would like less gears for sure.  Most of the time I double shift my shimano 11 speed.  I like the 11-46 range, so maybe that in a 5 of six speed. 

I've also been after a wider Q-factor and have just bought the Dagga pedals to improve(?) that. AJ's article helped me pull the trigger.   Testing tomorrow...

You take that boobz comment back!
