taking a shit with my boobs out
There was a 1-2 DNF's at the DW a few weeks back, I know one of them, they were like DOH shouldn't have run on boost the whole way
Do people not work out the capability of a battery for a 3h race.

Its a good thing, OTE were getting 600km max from a chain and cassette if it wasn't broken before hand on their rental fleet.
Its a massive market though, e-Bike optimised everything... we just added more metal to a fork that wasn't particularly light in the first place, heavier tyres, beefed up frames, e-rated stems and bars, now heavier drivetrains at XT prices
I’m recovering from similar speed to zero crash, but i did end up fracturing my scapula into several pieces.. Now 4 weeks post surgery, long operation, 19 screws and 2 plates and the muscles had to be re-attched to the scapula body..Ahhh I just assumed you know being rotorburn
Broken / Displaced 10th rib left side
Landed on point of shoulder lucked out nothing torn but massive bruising - I handled them scrubbing out the gravel on my arm and leg but have nearly passed out from pain in shoulder when moving was sure I had broken scapula but had a CT done all clear - bruised sternum - bruised arse - bruised inner right thigh - bruised entire left side gravel rash (proper rash with burning) from knee to ankle / from shoulder to wrist and on hip miscellaneous scratches right side - right ankle swollen - so not as bad as some but has laid me up to not being able to currently move

Hurt like all hell, but ribs still take the cake for eye watering pain..
Don’t forget the movicol with the oxys.. I had so much morphine and oxys I didn’t shit for 7 days after I stopped taking them..

Indeed. Quinn hasn’t ridden 50km on hers before. The only advise I gave her was to only use boost when really needed, and to run on eco wherever she could. Yes, she’s lighter, but one of her competitors ran flat with about 3km to go. Quinn had about 40% in the tank.There was a 1-2 DNF's at the DW a few weeks back, I know one of them, they were like DOH shouldn't have run on boost the whole way

They tell me there’s race craft in racing ebikes, but it definitely comes down to how much power and battery capacity your bike has. Loaner bike had 700Wh, I think ours has 450. Would have been tight, even riding conservatively.

There would certainly be a strategy involved, simplified - how to start with 100% and wheelie across that finish line as the bike dies.
If I owned an e-bike for 18+ months, I would have roughly worked out by now how to ride/race for 3 hours and when to dial back to get home.

Were they pushing or actually riding it?

LBS were telling me the Spesh evaluates your planned distance and calculates how you are going and what you need to do to get through the proposed ride. It may well do, but is it smart enough to know if there’s more climbing on the second half and also factor in you being more tired? Maybe. Sounds like marketing shit, and just another way to dehumanize the ride.

Thanks for all the bananas
Damn! I hope you recover well.

Ours is heavy AF, but the time I had to ride it home unpowered for Quinn, was no where as bad as I expected TBH. Much easier than an old DH bike.

That sucks - but I would gladly take rib pain over the shoulder pain I have. Last year I broke 2 ribs and didn’t even bother going to doctors - they informed on Saturday night “oh looks like you have 2 healed fractures?” This was when I was trying to convince every doctor and nurse I had to relay the accident too that I could actually ride lol

I get 1300 ish kms on 12 speed and chain was at replacing point and I baby the gear shifts. Happy to pay the weight penalty to get more kmsIts a good thing, OTE were getting 600km max from a chain and cassette if it wasn't broken before hand on their rental fleet.

Sweet. If I ever buy an ebike I'm going to ring you to ride when I get a flat battery.

No way. I want him to ride on his shoulders! King of the world!
How exactly can he do that? I know you want to ride him but that is a different thread completely.

LTIH: going for a ride and not checking the weather
Went out for a ride tonight didn’t check the weather, ten minutes into the ride it’s starts to sprinkle a bit. So we swing back past the cars grab our jackets then it doesn’t stop and to top it off I worked out the hard way that my jacket is no longer waterproof, I guess it’s time for a new one considering I got it about 14 years ago.
