Eldron Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Just had a disturbing thought - anyone want to hazard a guess at how long it will be before a normal mountain bike race will be called an "unplugged" race? With my current view of the human race probably not too long... Melodramatic Eldron is seriously concerned that this is the future of our species: Headshot, IH8MUD, gogo@ and 3 others 6

Hairy Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Spez is enjoying fuelling the rage ok .... all I get from that is that I am now putting Rage Against the Machine on my playlist for the rest of the day ... that is about it EmptyB, PhilipV and Patchelicious 3
Rigardt@Scott Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Well that settles that, a Turbo Levo with a Fox 49 - that makes sense. But let's be honest... that's as close as you get to an MX bike without getting an MX bike. Maybe I should just buy a KLX450 again. Hairy 1
Rigardt@Scott Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 On a serious note, one thing that he mentioned which rings very true for me is this.... "Embrace it as an entirely new sport." That is the core of this argument, most people are cool with e-bikes as long as they are not raced with normal bikes. If we embrace it as a new sport amentirely it makes that whole argument null and void because tennis and squash is not played on the same court, neither is rugby and football. So by that logic e-bikes and mtbs certainly should not be raced together. Now, I'm not gonna go as far as to say they don't belong on he se trails because trail runners and mtbers have been sharing trails in harmony (mostly), so the same can be done with mtbs and e-bikes. Hell, if it is seen as a different sport alltogether I might be able to put my shame aside and buy myself a bad-ass levo with a DH fork - makes me all tingly just thinking about it!!

Go for an Alta and do it properly.

Hmmmmm... just last week, coincidence? I think not! Mark Beaumont beats 127-year-old Penny Farthing record Scots cyclist Mark Beaumont rode 21.92 miles (35.3km) in an hour on the vintage-style bike to beat the 127-year-old British record at Herne Hill Velodrome.But the Scottish cyclist was 290 yards short of the world record of 22 miles and 150 yards.Mark holds the record for cycling around the world, which he did in 2017 in 79 days, 44 fewer than the previous record Yo-Yo 1
