If you want steep head to Thornilee, everything is pretty mellow at GT. You should be adding low speed compression and dialing back high speed. Reducing low speed will just allow the fork dive more when braking on steeps

That's a-lotof tinkering-around with an expensive component. Surely no company would allow a warranty-coverage, if this is done, and the motor...fails. Much the same as installing a speedbox, which voids any warranty. Your best option: Keep that expensive e-bike toy, out of wet weather. That includes humidity. Yes. Humidity damage also tends to void most motor brand warranties.

Summer months your not allowed on the mountain between 10am and 5pm. Your going to enjoy the experience so much more the fewer people there. The weather at the summit can be quite bad. So when you plan to go have some flexibility. Eg if you are heading up for the weekend only decide which day based on forecast max 18 hours before. We planned Saturday morning but did Snowdon Friday evening due to weather forecast for the weekend. Then go ride coed y

mountain passes need to be graded out because they get used and eroded. At one point the Rangers Path will have been extremely smooth and will have been worn away over time. Gravel and rocks have to be airdropped onto mountains to restore them after people use them. The paths you used are bridleways that see walkers, bikers and horse riders. Complaining that the surface is better is an elitist mentality that excludes less capable people from the sport, and is only something i see from other MTBers. People were complaining that the Chute on the Mach loop got graded out but they failed to realise people who aren't enduro riders use it too. Now more people can enjoy the sport and there are still plenty of rugged off-road passes to try. have a go at the Sarn Helen, you'll be dreaming of the Telegraph Valley before long.

Great video mate, that first track you did at Eastridge really is a steep one (we refer to it as Steepy). Long time since I've been to Hopton; pre-foresting. Looks quite different now although it looks like the tracks were left as they were (or rebuilt), which is cool 👍

Great video mate, shame I was unable to join you - with your mechanicals and flat battery, probably the only time I would beet eBikers up hills 😃. Worlds End is an incredible trail but yeah, not in those conditions. The short loop (missing out the masts) is fine in winter as there's only one really boggy section but the masts trail... yeah, that's a different matter. As for the trail in Swindon, I can vouch that it's steep and also insanely loose; shale filled ruts that it's incredibly difficult to control the bike in.
