I no longer have an ebike (have had 4) but that really is a lazy, unqualified statement. Sorry but it is. They have a large number of use cases.

ebikes got me back out on the road and increased my...

Thanks Steve. My current (well now previous!) carbon stumpjumper is 150mm travel. Been out on the Santa Cruz today and it just felt brilliant. Can't work out if part of it is psychological but it...

New bike this week. Weather nice today, so out shortly for it's maiden ride. It's the short travel version (100mm) not the trail one.

Haha. I actually wasn’t going out for a ride, just popped on it to nip around the close but got too attached I went out. It will be removed tomorrow for sure now! Lol.

Thanks for the YouTube tips...

Been out on the bike today and I can definitely say the raw carbon doesn't bother me now I know what it is and because of how good the bike is. All i can say is wow.

The combination of carbon...

Thanks guys - does put my mind more at ease

Thanks for the info, at least I know it’s ok then. Must be honest it’s just disappointing to see as makes the bike look very flawed especially in gloss black and given the price I’ve paid even with a...

I’ve actually been reading up on things more tonight and apparently this is apparent sometimes as it is the natural carbon as opposed to a carbon weave finish. Quite a number of posts about similar...

Thanks. This was the last available one in this colour in this model anyway but I’ll see if I can check any other similar model. In the interim I’ll email Rutland to get their thoughts too then....

Just blagged myself a lovely 2019 Specialized Stumpjumper Carbon Comp 29er in the Rutland sale. It's arrived today, is a light as a feather and looks lovely. The bike is black and the frame looks a...

Thanks for the lights info, will have a look.

I'm doing Whitehaven to Tynemouth although am doing it over 4 days so max per day will be about 40 miles I believe. Leisurely as opposed to time with...

Can anyone recommend some current, small(ish) good lights front and rear? I had a decent set but seem to have lost my rear one somehow so need to buy some new ones.

Also - I have now signed up to...

Well a little browse to kill a bit of time this morning resulted in me buying something I don't need. My willpower is terrible.

Anyway, it's a Jamis Dakkar A2. On offer at Evans and read the...

Just picked this up this afternoon

2019 Whyte 603. Added a charge spoon seat and some DMR V8 pedals and ready to go. Very very light. Off out shortly in the...

Wow

That’s lovely

We live at the top of a one mile long hill. So it was good to see them come up and the difference between the leaders and the pack was really interesting to see. Was a great atmosphere

Wasn't...

Anyone watch the tour de Yorkshire?

It came up my hill and past my house. Really enjoyed it. Watch it back and miss my house completely. Can't believe it. Lol

Yes it fits (tested it in the shop). I'm small myself (5' 6") so I was borderline small or medium. I just prefer the looks of the larger frame, makes this one look a bit of a woman's model! Be fine...

Bought this last week to go with my e-mtb and Focus road bike. Not used it yet.

I must be honest, the small frame makes it look a bit weird...... Looked a lot nicer on display (it was a Large)
...

I've got one of these on my MTB. One of the most comfortable ones I've had. Impressive.

Must be honest it's not an easy process is it.

I actually asked re: the weight and carbon myself (I'm 14 1/2 stone) but was advised it will be OK. But yeah that's a little off

What I have found...

So, also decided against this today and cancelled my order. I'm not very good at this deciding lark. Was a bit miffed when I nipped into their store to see the bike £150 cheaper in store than online....

Thanks - I'd actually been looking at some iclic 2 earlier.

However (and I expect everyone says this initially) but I'd ideally prefer to avoid clipless ones and have some standard pedals

Any recommendations on road bike pedals?

Budget of up to £50, preferably something Amazon sell (not essential though) as I've got a gift certificate. I've got DMR V8's on my MTB

So didn't go with any of these. Decided to up my budget and gone for a Planet X Pro Carbon. Just over £200 off the normal price
