@@kpbikeclub1318 Hi, good vid. I was wondering as I want to go and check these sorts of trails out sometime as we always park near the visitor's center usually. So, at the x raods you go past the pub (on the left), then up that track. When it forks, I take it you go up the right track? How far is it along there to the trails roughly. Cheers. Subbed.
So you park at Allerston village on A170, then go up the road to the right of the pub (Cayley Arms) which on map is called Warren house road. Keep left as you go and head up the hill. You’ll eventually see the ‘Loose on Lewis’ trail on the right hand side as you climb. The start (on the right) is at the point where the road starts to leave the trees. If you carry on up the road, and ride past the Warren House campsite, you’ll eventually find a left turn into the woods. Follow this path round for a while and eventually you will find the quarry. At this point though, it’s quite hard to explain how to find the Monster munch trail. It actually runs down the side of the quarry (in the woods) so if you can find the quarry and get to the top of that, you will be close to Monster munch. Hope this helps? We will in the near future be making a video that goes into more detail on how to find these off piste trails etc so stay tuned!
@@kpbikeclub1318 Legend. Thanks for taking the time to explain. I will definitely be heading up there. I mainly rode the red route in Dalby for fitness and want to try some more technical/better stuff. Thanks again m8.
This is a new adapter that holds a smartphone that clips onto the existing bosch Kiox mount. Some people prefer the smartphone display alternative over the Kiox as it can display more detail in the Bosch screen, plus you can use 3rd party apps such as a navigation app etc. Hope this answers your question? 👍🏻
The holder is part of the Bosch Smart System which comes with the bike; it is integrated with the bike's electronics and is controlled by the remote control by the left grip. Normally the Kiox 300 module that is shown at 4:00 clips in there -- it receives information from the contact pins on the holder and can be controlled by the buttons on the remote to display speed, drive mode, etc. This mount integrates your phone into the system as an info screen instead of the Kiox, plus the app adds a bunch of features.
Did this a few weeks ago on a gravel bike. Not recommended. I pretty much walked all the way from the field with the large holes all the way to Lilla's Cross. Note to self, maybe an eMTB is a good idea 🤣
Yes agree, I would not entertain some of this route on a regular bike! It wouldn’t have been as enjoyable. EMTB opens up so much more options for you, it gets you to places where you wouldn’t normally adventure to 👍🏻
It’s a while ago but I think it was GoPro Hero 7? Not sure what the settings were either, sorry. Look for a video by Skills with Phil as he made a good video on GoPro settings he uses for when he’s riding Whistler etc
Used to use it but it got too expensive so unfortunately we don’t Keep an eye in comments as we sometimes post GPX file links. Or email us at KPBC@mail.com and make a request and we will see what we can do! 👍🏻
NEW SUBSCRIBER !!! Fantastic ride , fantastic trail and a fantastic music intro !!!👍👍👍👍👍👍Whats the name of the music intro bro? i would like to download it.Classic rock tune !!!
Hey thanks dude for subscribing & supporting the channel 👍 Really do appreciate the comment on the tune too, as we wrote & played the music ourselves! Unfortunately not available to download though because of that!
Hi, any chance you could let me know on a map 🗺️ where about’s in wykham woods this is? I’ve been stopping at St Helens in the Park for years never took our bikes 🚲 but tomorrow we are… and would love to know some routes up there! 👍
It’s difficult to describe… hope this helps: GPS Coordinates: 54.287168479948235,-0.5534633632658768 This is a view point in Wykeham. Park there. Then follow the main path down the embankment from there, you can’t miss it. About 30m down it on your RHS is the start of what we call ‘Sharon Stone’. This gets you in the right area! Everything else is either below this trail of off to the left / right. Unfortunately last time we were there, the Motor Cross twats had chewed up a lot of it. They are good at that, being twats!
Great vid. Thanks for uploading. How you doing with distance/hours/elevation on a full battery? I`m surrounded by hills of up to 1000m and don't want to get caught out. Thanks in advance.
Difficult to say really. I typically do local bike park trails and off piste, so a fair bit of climbing but not exactly mountainous! I probably average about 20 miles for 40-50% battery consumption? That’s a mixture of mainly Tour+ and EMTB modes. Hope that helps
Why would you ride the blue before it's finished... Not fair on the people who put all the time and effort in, especially as most of them are volunteers.
To be fair, it had been ridden by others before us (could see the tyre marks) and we would not have ridden it had it been partially finished, we spoke to one of the Forest staff there and he said that it was ready and actually now needs some experienced riders on it to pack it in, they just didn’t want inexperienced riders on it who might ride over the edges etc. Of course we appreciate the hard work that’s gone into it, the build guys have done an amazing job!
Must be mad this time a year 😄 I've walked this with the missus but not been on the Ebike up the cinder track and Cleveland way, certainly made for entertaining viewing however 😄
We didn’t expect it to be as muddy as it was, especially on Cleveland way, but certainly won’t be doing that again! Glad it was entertaining to watch 😉
What i find so annoying is I've never had an ebike I've ordered my first the cube same as yours but not a clue on how they work and there is no video's actually showing how these work with the motor's its like you should know haha! I have seen one 10 second video of the chain ring doing a quarter turn on its own so that's all I know maybe you could make a video showing the way they actually work im sure it'll be more than just me looking for this type of video! It would be great to see how they work exactly I've had to actually buy one to find out crazy lol
Hi sorry for the delayed response. It’s an interesting point you make! As you say, not everyone understands how an electric motor works, and some can feel quite different to others. All I can say is, you have to ride one to find out! I started by hiring an e-bike and doing a demo day by Trek on the full power motor vs the super light motor to gauge the difference for myself. So glad I did as I was adamant I wanted the SL but after the demo I realised it wasn’t for me. I just wish the big brands did more demo day’s especially in a wider range across the country as they always seem to focus on the same areas that are not always easily accessible by everyone.
Hi there I've be trying to ask a couple questions on the cube action team 160 you got i ordered mine yesterday just wondering does it come with peddles and are they rubbish or not to bad? And the grips i will be changing don't like orange but the bikes so well specked for the price be nice if they gave an option of the black or orange 38 forks! the reviews have been good to watch happy new year
Hi! Sorry for the delay in responding. The peddles it comes with are naff and you should replace them with what is your preferred peddles. It’s not usually expensive to do that. The contact points between you and your bike are very important! (Grips and peddles). I wasn’t a fan of the orange fox forks at first but they are actually really nice in the flesh. The colour doesn’t bother me now at all, really like them as they are not the norm.
I was pretty much set on going to get one them saw that dredded word i totally avoid like the plague "Carbon frame" no thanks not for me after seeing the shortcuts made to make them lighter no wonder they snap so easy now
I have two carbon frame bikes, one a Santa Cruz Nomad and a Cube Ebike. Both of which I’ve never had an issue with. I suppose if you were a rider who sends it large, big jumps, fast enduro DH etc, then maybe that’s a concern, especially if you were to crash it, but for my style and intermediate level of riding, that’s probably not going to be something I need to worry about. These bikes are pretty robust, it would likely be me who breaks first! 😉
I’ve got a cube ebike fella. If I’m going down hill and not peddling I get no resistance..it flies. Touch 40 down a decent hill. Bought it at beginning of lockdown. Best thing ever. Makes hills a pleasure 😊😊
So my question is what do I have to do to join the KP bike club? Seriously!! I'm a relatively new rider, pretty crap with a lot to learn but eager to improve and judging by the places that you ride we can't live too far away from each other.
Hey! Sorry for late response. Whereabouts you from? Find us on Facebook as messages a bit easier to see and respond to via there. Can certainly meet up and enjoy the ride!
Hi, on the E-bike I have a 3300 LUMENS CREE Bike Light from Chilli Technology: www.chilli-tech.com/3300-Lumens-Bike-Light Fantastic bit of kit and half the price of the equivalent lights by leading brands like Exposure. Although I do use an Exposure Diablo on helmet which is pretty darn good too. Only issue is, can only get a couple of hours from the helmet light on full blast, so since I got the Cree for the handlebars, I can dim both down one setting and get much more time from them.
Got the last one in Evans Nottingham a week ago for half price. Only been out a couple of times but it’s brilliant and turbo makes me laugh every time 🤣
I prefer it in most ways apart from I wish I had a 29” wheel up front but it’s not a regret, more an opportunity to make it a smidge better. The cube is a lot cheaper to buy too 🙂
@@kpbikeclub1318I have the same bike changed whole new front end to a mullet setup and what a difference it makes grip2 damper 29er up front is definitely the way to go good luck One thing get rid of that plastic top cap they are garbage
Greetings,.Great bikes, I bought the same one three months ago in Croatia for €6,000, there was some kind of sale on that model for €1,000, only I got mine with a black fork, not orange, really interesting, the only thing that doesn't suit me is the seat, these days I ordered a new one, wider for longer drives, because the original one is horrible, after 40 km on it, I can no longer sit on my bum because of the pain,(normally I drive about 70 km per day with only 50% battery in the mountains, I only use trail mode over 90% 🤪) and another thing that annoys me is that it is limited to 25 km max, because after that the engine provides resistance that is not very pleasant ,Since I have a lot of fitness, I want to ride that bike faster than 30 km without engine resistance, and as far as I can see, I will have to put some chip in it that is not legal 😮
In all honesty, I can barely tell the difference. I’ve been riding 29 up front for years and was in two minds that this was the right choice with 27.5 on this bike, but I think because the tyre is so wide and there’s plenty of weight and the bike is well planted as a result, I don’t think it matters. I’d heard some reviews saying the front end was twitchy, but I’ve not experienced that at all. It ploughs through roots and rocks with no issues at all 👍🏻
Did exactly the same and hired one with a couple of mates... Can quite honestly say it's the most fun i've had going around there. Loved every climb which is a new experience for there. Mulled it over for a few days after and we all ended up buying one, went for the rail 9 GX gen 2.. just waiting on delivery then I'll be back up there to go again! Reinvigorated mountain biking for me, don't know what I was messing around at, Should have got one ages ago!
The restriction really does interfere on the trails though, I tried a NLS speedi and it's totally different feeling Like how the bike was supposed to ride imo
No offence but I think a bit of upper body strength work is in order man?? Just because you said the exe was heavy and how you struggled with jumping on the rail Edit to add-I really should watch full videos before commenting 😂. Great comparison and I'm glad i got the rail now, was going to wait for an exe but Im not sure I'd like it now
I rode the EXE and rail 7 again a few weeks ago at another Trek demo day and it was very apparent this time around, how much better I found the Rail and how unimpressive the EXE was this time. I found the EXE sluggish, like it was dragging? It just made my choices a lot smaller! Full fat EMTB is the only option!
@@kpbikeclub1318 I'm still intrigued, I might try the exe an the local trek shop I think I saw one last time I was in The rail really is a lot of fun isn't it, one thing I would say though I've had a motor swap at 1200 miles, they didn't charge me and it took about a week so no complaints really
Great video, mate! i have been thinking about the Fuel EXe and one question that came into my mind just now is about the motor activation speed when going through rough terrain and rocky/exposed roots tech areas up hill. How does it activate? There are moments when you let the bike roll and suddenly you need the max traction to climb things. How is it efficiency on such moments? Thanks
@@josaxtvc ahh nice man! Im sure they're both great I didn't have the patience to wait to try the exe just bought the rail because it was right there 🤣
Yeah, it’s from Allerston village, near Pickering. Turn up the side of the Cayley Arms, ride to the top (nice road climb)and the trail runs back down on the right, adjacent to the road coming back on yourself! 👍
Cool vid! Spend a few days your way in November and had a couple of trips into raincliffe. Some silly fun steep stuff in there! Shame I didn’t have time to explore more of the area, looks good.
Great vid guys. Heading up your way in a week or two and been looking at trails round Scarborough. Few I recognise, few i don't. Don't suppose you have Strava, screen shot etc. I'll look forward to more of the vids 🤘😎
Great memories, I went in the summer of 2022. I'm planning on a return visit in the next few months, I'm presuming it'll be in similar conditions. You sounded just like me when you went down the Narly Rocky Red Route bit. 🤣 I loved the whole of the journey But, then again I was on my Ebike. You're right about the Climbs on the Return, but don't let it put you off guys. I really enjoyed watching your ride, "Keep Up the Cadence" 👍
Definitely got plans to go back this summer although mainly to check out the off piste stuff again near the glider base area. (A few minutes ride from the Sutton bank car park) If you haven’t been, stick that on your must do list! 🙂
To be honest, I didn’t feel like I needed it as the EMTB mode was great at giving you just the right amount of power assist. Plus, the guy in the bike shop warned me that in Turbo mode, my battery would drop faster than Katie Prices drawers!!
Excellent video thank you for your patience in the testing and honesty about power delivery. Anyway iv got on order as of today now my fuel exe 9.7 (was to be a 9.5 but that keeps being pushed back with delays so my dealer negotiated a good discount on next model up ) The next question will be do I keep my Merida E160 as well ????
