New old bike. First one I have ever built up from the frame. Ive always wanted a Santa Cruz bike, takes me me back to youth skateboarding :D

Grabbed the frame off the bay, immaculate and took all the bits of my Giant Fathom that had everything bar the frame upgraded and moved them over to this. This is an XL and the Giant was a Large. This fits me much better.

Long term I will grab some nice forks, but these will do for now.

Get yourself the longest dropper post that will fit you/the seat tube.

Do you uplift at BPW? Some guys I know just took two batteries with them and just turbo their way up.

Sounds like all the changes to BPW will make it way better than it currently is. Ideally they need to get a nice chair uplift!

Nah, I had 2 batteries. A Turbo run up and down used 25%.

It's still hard work though! I managed 6 runs before the chaffing got unbearable and that was 56km and 1870m of elevation gain so I definitely felt it the next day.

6 run ups is more than you can get on the bus some days!! :D
 
Had two days booked last weekend at BPW, wake up at 4am to get there, sign in, get the bike out of the car, put the battery in, all good, go to pedal for the uplift and the bike throws up 7 error codes

Spent the whole weekend pedalling a 25kg barge around, oh and I bent the rear rotor!

The uplift was busy in the morning, but settled down towards lunch, only got 6 runs in, but I was pretty much spent by then anyway.
You could easily get 8-10 runs in if you hit them back to back with no faffing around.

Surprised you used 25% in one climb and descent, I did a pedal pass a while back and only used around 10% per climb in a mix of emtb and turbo.

Still had a great time though, just got to go through the faff of trying to get my bike fixed now :(

Here's my 2021 Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC Race with some nice upgrades. My first E-Bike I bought off a mate, been after one a while but didn't want to spend crazy money. Quite unusual in that it was specced new with 29er, everything online says it should be 27.5"

Photo was taken on the way home from getting the firmware updated last week.

Mullet equipped Scout RS with Renthal Stem and carbon bar as well as the Alloy Roval Traverse wheels. All set up and ready for winter use. Belter of a hard tail!

Highly modded Status. Frame, cranks and dropper are the only bits left from the OEM bike. Everything else has been upgraded and this thing absolutely slays. I can’t wait for the weather to pick up and give a mild weekend so I can get back out on it otherwise it’ll be tucked up until spring.

Burgtec carbon bars, grips, stem, pedals and saddle. MT7 Pro HC3 brakes with 220 front and rear MDR-P rotors, GX/NX hybrid drive train, Zeb 190 with RC3 damper, DHX2 factory shock and Roval TRaverse Carbon mullet wheelset. I could have bought a nicer bike but I’ve got more out of it doing it myself and messing about than going off the shelf.
