    Owning a bike shop means I get pick of the bunch but my last personal build was this.

    2020 Santa Cruz Megatower CC, X01 Eagle, Whyte Trail carbon wheels on Hope hubs, Lyrik RCT3 forks, Carbon bars etc etc.

    Orbea Rallon for me. Perfect do-it-all machine. Handles EWS stages with ease, and I even bagged 2nd in a local XC race on it. Love this bike.

    Lovely. If/when I ever come to the point where I need to replace the Bronson, a Rallon will be extremely high on the list.

    I’ve dusted off my old Trek carbon fibre bike. Runs like a dream

  10. #60

    Anyone here do their own maintenence?

    The forks on my Ginat Terrago have seized through neglect and inactivity.
    I`ve seen a few vids showing how MB forks come apart - usually by undoing a screw on the bottom of the fork which releases the damper rod/gubbins inside. The lowers can then be pulled off.
    On my bike there is a `nut` on the bottom but has no flats, it`s not a hex, it looks to me like it was assembled with a shear nut, could this be correct?
    So maintenence and repairs were not meant to be carried out on these (cheapy) forks, or is there another method to fork dissasembly on this type?

    What forks are they, air or spring and have the stanchions rusted ??
    If they're really cheap I'd throw them away and start again

    I was walking over Winter Hill on the West Pennine Moor yesterday when 2 lads went past on Santa Cruz full sussers.
    Behind them went 2 70+ olds on Ebikes, and were catching them rapidly.
    What models did you get ??

    Haven`t got a clue, it`s nothing special just a Giant Terrago;



    Yes, the stanchions are a bit rusty, and i can see a spring when i remove the fork caps but can`t get the spring to come out - there`s little grip on it and for all know it may not come out that way or be siezed.

    Laying down any wedge on this bike is not an option, its fix it or leave it as-is. Fixing the forks is just a little furlough job to be tinkerin` with.

    We live in the rural bit of the new forest where there is a superb bike shop called the woods cyclery, run by real enthusiasts. after a lot of shopping around and advice from everyone including my nephew who is an ex workshop manager, pro rider and now technical manager for Shimano, we went with 2 Cube ebikes- mine is a Cube Reaction hardtail with Bosch cx performance kit and a neat SRAM eagle chainset 1x11, Mrs Goats is slightly more upmarket, called, I think a Cube Access with better info display but same motor etc. both will easily do a 60 mile trip with some power left.
    Only downside so far is that being heavy, they are more prone to punctures (it seems) on our local gravel roads where theres a bit of gorse about.....so looking for tubeless conversions with sealant of some sort or the liners to put between tyre and tube.
    Great fun and importantly we actually use these whereas the older pedal bikes were seeing less and less use.
    Though I'd really recommend ours, I'm sure theres plenty of good stuff around.- do check the predicted battery life in terms of charging cycles- Bosch seem good whereas others not so, and they're expensive to replace.

    Funny you should mention Cube because it was one of the Cube models that I saw last week.
    The bloke said he'd borrowed it off his mate and thought it'd cost about £2100 which isn't majorly expensive.
    Until then I'd never given Ebikes a thought and do more walking these days even though my knees have had it.
    One of my bikes had tubeless tyres on when I bought it, the other 2 don't.
    What size tyres are they ?

    No - tubeless compatible Giant XC alloy rims although I am tempted by a pair of lightweight Hunt alloy hoops as an upgrade.

    I've got carbon wheels on my roadbike - not sure about the abuse they'd get on a MTB (I'm the wrong side of 90kg at the moment).

    Hahaha I know about the tinkering, I do more of that that riding.
    You should be able to get better forks than those for about 20 quid or so.

    If they’re seized, just take it to mean it’s now a rigid bike!

    I suspect that any internal seals will have long since perished on those, just not an economical fix I don’t think.

    Chuck a set of new tyres on it, sort the chain and gears, and off you go.

    Tubeless is great, but it’s not maintenance free, and you do need to replace/top up the tubeless fluid a couple of times a year.

    It’s easy enough to do though if your rims are tubeless ready, but for your use I’d just get a set of slime tubes or similar. Fixes the majority of punctures before you know about them, bit heavier than a standard tube but on an e-bike that won’t be a problem.

    That`s exactly what i`ve done, but with tyres at ~60psi and no suspension you certainly feel every bump in the road don`t you. If i run over a bug i can tell how many legs it`s got..

    I`ve just had another go at the forks (got the springs out this time but didn`t help) using some serious lump hammer and steel drift action (watches regulated, anyone?).
    I stopped before something irreparable happened.

    You probably need to get the lower legs off, if indeed they will come off, you mentioned it didn’t look like they had any socket headed bolts to remove?

    It’s a long time since I saw any forks that you could remove the lowers, but without knowing the make/model, it’s hard to say.

    I don’t know the forks exactly but I had a pair of Rockshox Quadra 10’s back in the day and removed the negative return spring to get an extra 1/4” of travel from them. In those once you’d removed the elastomer stack the Allen key bolt to remove the lower legs (and thus the negative return spring) was inside the stanchions and screwed into the lower leg which then allowed the removal of the lower legs. Might be relevant, might not.

    My reply makes a lot more sense if you substitute could for couldn’t!

    You could be right though, I seem to remember a pair of RST shocks I had held the lowers on via long socket cap bolts accessed through the top caps. It was a long time ago though.

    I have a Bird AM160 in disgusting green! I really rate it. It's great being able to spec them up how you want them when ordering, and the long low slack geometry suits the riding I like doing.
    Have you tried a dropper seat post on it?

    Yep the whole Bird experience was good. Phoned them up and headed down for a test ride. Geometry has changed a lot since the Enduro - mine was the monocoque one - but the ride on this is brill.
    Wasn’t sure about the 1x12 gears, although the big ring came off the Spec early doors to be replaced with a bash ring. It’s not that I went slow downhill, it more that the bb was low and the big rig was alloy... Having ridden it a bit now 1x12 works, although I do sometimes find myself out of gears at the fast end.
    Dropper post seems a bit like a solution to a problem I don’t have, so I haven’t put one on. I never needed one in the Enduro, and we did all sorts of stupid on that.

    It's a solution to a problem you never knew you had... once you've fitted one you'll wonder how you survived anything without it! Trust me!

    I've not really looked at this thread but some very nice bikes here.

    I moved to an bike about three years ago. They are great fun but haven't ridden for 18 months after an off that resulted in a serious injury. As soon as lockdown finishes I think I will give it another go, I've been doing a bit on the turbo in preparation.

    Snap! Well, nearly. I love the colour of yours. And your backdrop is much nicer...

    Focus Jam2 6.7 by iaintookey, on Flickr

    I’ve changed my rear shock to a Fox DPS Factory and the fork to a beefier 35mm model, great to ride.

    I really fancy a Specialized Levo SL next though. I know it’s summer, and the trails are harder, but I’m finding I’m riding mostly in Eco now, so I think I’d quite like the smaller motor and lighter Levo SL. I’m going to test ride one when the bike shops are all open and doing demo rides again.

    Yeah, depending on what you ride, the minute you hit drop offs, jumps, chutes, etc then it's way harder without one, days out in bikepark wales, Forest of Dean, Windhill, etc means i rarely have the post up.

    They are great, even after resisting when eventually I tried one I was hooked, I bought one the next day.

    Have you seen the Lapierre E Zesty it seems an amazing light option, A mate who owns a shop and does a bit of racing raves about his. They are not cheap though and apparently hard to get, I have never seen it personally.

    Haven’t ridden a bike for years now but whilst having a sort out in the garage yesterday, I unearthed these!

    All original 1998 Stumpjumper M2 comp


    1998 Kona Pahoehoe, again all original



    My daughters 2008 Kona Shred (she never rode this!)



    They look really dated compared to the newer models in this thread :)

    That Stumpy M2 Comp would have been a bob or two when new. M2 was metal matrix, bike manufacturers first attempts at leaving conventional steel and alloy frames.

    Yes, from memory it was north of a grand at the time! It has been hidden in the garage behind some old furniture for at least 10 years.

    Orbea Occam TR carbon. Bought second hand, like most of my bikes. Fast as hell and it makes me regret not getting a bouncy bike sooner.



    Jones Spaceframe Ti. This was ‘best bike’ until I got the Orbea, and it’s been ridden in places you’d normally take a full bouncer (e.g. The Whole Enchilada in Moab, bikepacking the HT550 etc). A lovely bike to ride in general.


    Custom fatbike based on Stooge geometry. Ti truss fork for stiffness. This feels like a very short travel trail bike with limitless grip. Lots of fun but currently being overhauled.

    Have you seen the Lapierre E Zesty it seems an amazing light option, A mate who owns a shop and does a bit of racing raves about his. They are not cheap though and apparently hard to get, I have never seen it personally.
    Funnily enough, the latest e-MTB mag I downloaded this morning has a review of the e-Zesty alongside the Levo SL and the Nox Helium. The Zesty and the Helium use the removable Fazua battery and motor combo, so they can be turned into analogue bikes quite easily.

    Interesting stuff, I’ll have to look into trying them at some point.

    Bultaco Brinko R, purely off road use as twist & go throttle with 2000w hub motor. At 38 kilos you wouldn’t want to ride it home with a flat battery.

    Yeah mines the aluminium.
    I thought yours was till I zoomed in.
    The original forks were pretty sh1te, Marzocchi Bombers, so I put some Rebas on but swapped them with some Fox Alpine that Merlin had on offer.
    I have a look on Ebay now and again for a frame but no luck yet.
    I saw a Lobster up Rivington on Saturday, a black one, probably SL.
