    Importing a USED eMTB from the US

    I don't think he's going to tell us so we might as well start anyway. Have you looked at a sight? They are dirt cheap right now and are enough bike for 99% of Aussie tracks.

    The scott genius hit 4k today, which works out at 160,000m of acending and decending. The only oringal bits left are the cranks/bb and the front triangle.

    First trail wheelset advice

    I destroyed the e1900 rear rim in 2 weeks. It had the shape of a stop sign by the end. They are butter soft.

    Bearings seem fine, I did pack them with grease before fitting. I always just build the wheels in the bike, I haven't looked at stands. What's the benefit of a stand? That seat is great by the way. Not sure how many muddy ass rides it will last but it's comfy and light and looks pretty good.

    I've gone through heaps of these in the last 3 years. They work perfectly fine. I've used the dirtbike versions for the last 10 years.

    Product Review Pro E4 brakes

    There is no clamp issue, they use a taper to pull tight instead of a hinged clamp. It seems odd at first but works fine.

    What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

    1000m on the DMR trailstar today. Not bad for a little old dirtjumper. Same bike/frame as my profile pic from 20 years ago. It can go back under the house for another 5 years.

    Product Review Pro E4 brakes

    I've done quite a few rides now. I don't even think about them while riding, where Shimano brakes are a constant annoyance. 3 thumbs up.

    9 days delivery on my last order (Deore 12sp cassette $87). 1 day longer than my order from Goerges bike shop in WA which was ordered at the same time.

    IXS knee pads

    I've had some for about 3 years. They are totally comfortable, no issues riding for hours in them. They can and do move during a stack, from memory they have given me a sort of carpet burn before. For the most part they protect ok for how comfortable they are.

    Little Things You Hate

    They are only really worth anything if there is a record of them being registered previously as a buggy.

    Product Review Pro E4 brakes

    I actually just got to ride mine for the first time today. I installed them a month ago but seem to have been struck down with every (respiratory) virus known to man since. My impressions so far; I can actually adjust the lever far enough out from bar to where I like it. There was no...

    Levers were set up American and rear line not connected but came full of fluid and capped. I swapped the lines and topped off the resovoirs. Lever feel is good, I haven't had to bleed them. They are mineral fluid.
