Banana Hammock Added a reply to E-bike talk: not tech rumor derailment
2/8/2026 6:55am Has anyone got any more information on the new TQ powered Norcos? Saw one in the wild today (silver frame, black decals) obviously a finished bikes, assuming it’s just a sub 20kg Sight? Looks very similar to the current Sight/Range, just one that been on a big diet.

10/8/2025 9:59am Having ridden a DJI powered bike (Mith) extensively, to the extent I still have an order in for one, and also having a Bosch Gen 5 bike, with the power upgrade, the post above covers the pertinent points. I don’t think there is that much variance in efficiency, all things being equal, but I don’t buy into the notion of...

11/29/2023 3:06am This is doing the rounds at the moment. Continental NP becoming Continental riding GT frames. With the addition of Danny Hart, as he hasn’t got any other offers on the table.

10/19/2023 12:46am Most of the ‘bigger’ names who fall foul of a team insisting on a rubbish tyre sponsor have a clause in their contracts to state if there isn’t something ‘suitable’ from their sponsor, then it’s Team Sharpie all the way. Quite a few times, by some sort of miracle, they don’t have anything suitable, so they run anything but their...

4/7/2023 3:42am It’s a cosmetic part that slides over the drive side crank arm at the motor axle so it doesn’t look quite so home made…

12/19/2022 8:58am Yep, it’s pretty common knowledge that Will Longden is ‘difficult’ to work with. There has been numerous near punch ups in their setup over the years.

11/6/2022 1:43am Gracious of you to offer to meet face to face but apparently you can’t handle having your charade dropped online so I don’t think an in person meet up would help you. Please just go back to your bud therapy and the parking lot. Do you still rock 420 on your number plate?

11/6/2022 1:42am The only person that’s come off like a complete moron is you. No facts, just butthurt feelings. National Forests are not wilderness areas. Wilderness areas can be within the National Forest but a National Forest is not within a Wilderness. Seems like small point I’m sure to genius like you but it does matter. For the record, in a National Forest, eMtb’s are allowed to be on any trail a bicycle can use unless specifically designated otherwise. it’s hard to have a conversation with someone who is so entrenched and committed to beliefs that are in fact wrong. The best...

11/6/2022 1:55am Whilst land laws are clearly overly complicated in the US, with even more complicated rights of access, you could end up fully down a rabbit hole. But, if e-bikes are legal, then why wouldn’t you? Especially in your circumstances. The OTT, almost obsessive hatred that some Americans have towards them is just weird, when the rest of the world is...

11/6/2022 1:47am By that logic then, so do fit people. I can do 2000m vert on my leg bike, or my ebike if I want to. I ride the same amount of trails. Some people just session one trail all day, pushing back up and doing multiple run. Are they monsters too? Also, for the sake of pendantry, they arn’t mopeds, e-mopeds...

11/3/2022 9:32am The sheer ignorance, arrogance and jealousy in this post is amazing. The eGenie is out of the bottle. Maybe you should consider that public trails aren’t your private trails. FYI, Class 1 ebikes are not moped but you know that. I’m sure you also know that a eBike has no more impact on trails than a non eBike inflicts on the trail. So you really just come off as being dumb when you suggest otherwise. Finally, the real reason you don’t like eBikes is you don’t like opening up the sport to people who enjoy it on a bike that...

11/3/2022 9:32am So basically you have no facts to back you up just your clearly unbiased opinion… dude GFY. You’re exactly the type clown that makes mtb activism such a joke.

11/3/2022 9:31am So, you’re whining about use & erosion in a bike park which allows e-bikes & actively hires them out too, as a revenue stream? 🤦♂️ Thankfully I live somewhere where guns arn’t legal & ebikes are. That way I can ride my electric ‘toy’ (as you put it) as well as my non electric toy, depending on whichever way my...

10/10/2022 1:25am If I was in the market to buy a bike it would definitely be an eBike but at this point this, I will not be buying another bike
