I hate to say this but you need 3. An ebike to ride when you have limited time or its too hot or you think its too wet or you're too tired or because the trail sucks. An enduro or 150ish bike to ride the fun trails and still pedal but also to put into a bag so you can travel to cool places to ride all the good shit all around the world. A downhill bike because it feels so good. The end.

If you don’t have the time or live in a good location for all day epic riding, e-bikes are a solid choice. It’s pretty akin to downhill bikes, they make sense if you live in the right location. Locally, a lot of people are doing 2-4 hour trail rides that turn into 1-2 hours on the e-bike and it doesn’t really matter what order you hit stuff in.

Currently rocking: Long travel Ebike (190/170): covers everything from Bike Park to lunch ride trail rides. Slopestyle bike: just got this, but effecitvely wanted a DJ bike with gears for pumptrack but also city rides and kid rides. This bike could have been a regular DJ or even a trail bike (think 5010 type bike). Now I hate to be that guy, but based on current availability and sales, I would almost argue the unbeatable combo for under 10k Cheap long travel avinox ebike e.g. the new decoy Cheap short travel avinox ebike e.g, the base amflow, or could consider...

Maybe another way to test it would be to get a Cascade Link for the Levo SL. 2-4-1 product test!

@Jason_Schroeder or @TEAMROBOT , now that linear is in and the Zeb has put on weight, how about doing a head to head with a 2027 Zeb and the original Zeb with a coil conversion? An artificial friend said the weight of a smashpot converted Zeb would be 2600g to 2800g depending on spring weight. What do you think?

I have a pair of the very first TLD skyline camo pants, so that makes them about 5 yrs ago, it is my most worn pant and they are starting to pill a bit, but im shocked how long they've lasted...it was a product I wanted to bring to market for a while and we moved fast during covid to get them to market, at $109 at the time, it was good value and they fit a lot of body types well. I left TLD in 2022, but still a fan of the brand---now that being said, we had a...

Looks like Wrangler ATG wins! I don’t even know if you get them in the UK. I always buy Mtb pants on sale and they never seem to fit or the colour is mental! I’ve used my jean shorts (jorts?) for a casual spin on the hills, but wear pants most of the year due to stinging nettles which are...

I bought a few pairs of Target golf pants when they were on a massive sale. They're too tight to be casual wear for me but they're some sort of tech fabric and are good for Spring and Fall riding. Golf shirts from thrift shops make good jerseys too. I'm not a golfer, nor a fan, but the clothes work for riding.

I ride in Lululemon ABC Warpstreme due to length requirements (37" inseam model). Been a big fan for trail riding (only when it’s cold- as I hate pants). Extremely comfortable fit and material. Not quite what I would want on DH days though.

I wondered if anyone out there rides in pants that aren’t TLD skyline or Fox flexair or similar. I saw the TLD ruckus cargo pants and it got me wondering what alternatives do people use? What are the pros and cons?

Forgot my 2010 VW T5. Someone dented it in the autumn and it was in repairs for 6 weeks (terrible insrance company!). It was like losing a leg (not really), but I missed it so much. It's part of the family!

1. Schwalbe Shredda (rear on the front) and Magic Mary (rear and/or front) radials have been awesome in the slop and then unexpected dust on my local steeps in Malvern. 2. More mates getting eebs. They enjoy it and I enjoy it. 3. Trips to Scotland - long old drive, but worth it for the natural stuff in the Cairngorms...
