Thanks dude. The roll in speed is quite slow on it. Overshooting it would be a real bad time. The landing is barely steep enough. It felt like a huck to flat, and that was everything going right.... probably wouldn't hit it on the eeb again. Better for the DH rig.
Unfortunately, this will also raise the price of pretty much every ebike, foreign or domestic. Santa Cruz and Specialized are going to be paying tariffs on their frames, motors, batteries, group sets... everything really.
US bike companies can't eat a 25% margin cut. That cost is going to be...
The range extender is 250wh, so that is 850wh total I could potentially use for a ride. For the rides I do on the weekends, this is not enough capacity. I also prefer not to have 850wh of battery on board, it's too heavy and you lose the ability to carry a water bottle.
I think Santa Cruz got...
I love my santa cruz bullit. It plows downhill like DH bike. It's also pretty bombproof. I have hucked it off drops that you wouldn't normally see an ebike on, and it hasn't broken yet.
If the rumors are true, and they are moving to a bosch system with a non-removable battery, that is a huge...
Y'all are gonna laugh at me. I figured out the noise.
The airtag that I had stuck to the inside of the frame had broken loose from its VHB tape. It was rattling around in the bottom of the downtube, next to the motor. At least that was an easy fix.
It's true, doing any sort of well controlled experiment is difficult. It's interesting to hear your thoughts on the subjective ride experience, regardless of which one was faster. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the Albert.
I just picked up an albert for my downhill bike, and I'm...
The trend in the chart above strongly suggests that you simply got faster riding the same track for 6 days in a row.
Even on the same tire, your pace improves day over day. Unfortunately, since tire/day was not a controlled variable, I tend to think that the "slow" tires would have been "fast"...
My bullit has developed a terrible rattle, and I'm pretty sure it's coming from the motor. Has anyone else noticed this? It knocks pretty loudly when I'm sending it downhill. I'm wondering if it could possibly be anything else besides the motor. Headset is tight. Pivot bolts are tight. Shock...
Yep, front and back. The back tire is slightly more reasonable. The front tire is unlike anything I have ever seen, except for motocross tires. I like STEEP loamer chutes, so I'm stoked to try these out. I'll report back when I get a chance to test them in the forest.
I am a little worried...
I don't know. I was trying to edit the post to get the youtube short to show up in the post rather than being a generic link to youtube...
I probably edited the post too many times and caused it to get flagged?
