Leading the Dirt Shed Show off with an e-bike, several e-bike videos on the channel in the last few weeks, e-bikes in the news, e-bikes in the main talking point, Neil building a downhill e-bike and telling us to watch this space. What’s the deal guys? Is this now EMBN 2? There’s been more e-bike content than actual bike content on this channel of late.

I'm sorry, but that orbea is a solution looking for a problem. It's the mtb equivalent of buying a house with a fully fitted kitchen, then ripping the kitchen out and cooking over an open firepit in the middle of the room. I think, much they're all very clever people, the solution they're looking for is called a "mountain bike." Crazy, I know, but it might just catch on..........
@Celeon999A3 ай бұрын
I think its a new approach to a DH trend appearing a while ago. You may have heard of DH racers attaching lead weights to their bikes to make them heavier and thus more stable? They are saying modern DH bikes have become just too light and the lack of stability has been hurting racing times rather than doing the opposite. I think they wanna find out if the weight of an ebike, and also the placement of that weight may actually be the sweetspot they are trying to hit.

Oreba used an Ebike frame for that DH bike because it gave them the room to make a lockable bottom bracket. It can be locked by the rider so the pedals won’t move, when pedaling isn’t needed and it can be unlocked when the rider needs to pedal. In the locked position, it gives the rider much more control and stability on the bike.

Helmet mounted impact sensors are interesting, but they should be planned as an extra tool within a robust concussion protocol. You can't determine concussion by head acceleration, but medical staff could do an extra check for someone who has a really high number on the HMI sensor but isn't already being checked, like an extra set of eyes on the course says this athlete took a hard hit and we should check them out. Clearly the threshold has to be set appropriately so you don't drive everyone crazy
