Guys, thank you all for the good wishes. I'll not be handing back the keys to my account, just meant that I no longer have a GG. Sorry if my heading freaked anyone out but I couldn't buy a pumpkin. I'll keep lurking from time to time and if I can help out any members with info then I'll leave a...

After I hurt my back last year I sold my 2012 EC 250e, as it was going to be left lying up till this seasons racing. I've gone to the dark side & bought a TM 144 EN, in a hope that a lighter bike will be easier on my back! best of luck to all, but you'd never know, I may be back in the future...

Back from a recommended physio today, he had me in a type of traction belt/table & then some electric shock gizmo. Was in discomfort after but feeling much better now. He specializes in sports guys like football & rugby, plus he cycles himself so should know his stuff. Was thinking of ditching...

Hi guys, looking for some help here. Lower back issues aren't that unusual to many of us here. But what I was wondering is, what Kidney belts/back supports do you all use. I've been using a cheap Delkevic one now for a while but find that getting older/unfitter it's not up to the job. I don't...

Bike year: 2012. model: EC250-e. mods: Rad braces. Gearing: 13/52. Top speed: ??? what kind of ridding do you do: Woods, slow stuff mainly. Question: with the current gearing the chain has eaten through the chain guide, will a TM designs (they say up to 3t extra) fit it &/or do I need to revert...

I use Fox polarpaw, but carry a regular set of gloves for when my hands warm up. This also usually keeps them dry too for the afternoon/evening ride home when you're tired etc...........

ADV Rider, I like the VW. What make of bike carrier is that?

Anyone find out anymore on this, or is there a retrofit option available? The older set up seems better IMO (I'm on my 3rd brake pedal now & it's been damaged already!!!!!!).

I use the slime type stuff designed for Tractors, it's a big container & you get loads of use from it. 4mm tubes help too.

Sump guard, wrap arounds etc... other than that I change the pegs to Raptor titanium.

I've been suffering from a similar issue & am convinced after bleeding, adjusting & replacing pads, that it's the disc. First race out last yr & I bent my brake pedal back & didn't even realise I was trailing/standing on the pedal half the time!!! it's never worked right since. So a replacement...

ohffs, you'll have no problen picking up a decent EC(of any size) in the UK. If you want I might have an old bike buyers guide from a back issue of TBM. If you PM your address I can post it/them to you if that helps you make a decision. Best of luck. Robs.

I'm suddenly getting the feeling that my thread is being hijacked!!!

I run Raptor titanium, great grip & look good.
