    Still having annoying creaking problems

    yeah watching it again now makes me realize it isn’t nearly as bad as it was! Haha. They did make it almost silent for a bit, though.

    yes I did grease the headset but unfortunate that wasn’t my issue. Let me see if I can find the video…I did not intentionally remove it haha

    Still having annoying creaking problems

    hi! I ended up taking it to my local trek shop and saying “this is crazy you gotta figure it out”. They had the bike for over a week trying to find the source of the rattle. They ended up making it loads better by doing the battery alignment procedure and adding a bit of foam…but, alas, it did...

    My wife got me a skydio for my birthday...Here's the first trail ride with some buddies

    She got me the “sports pack” and it came with two extra batteries-a total of three. That’s nearly an hour and a half. to be honest though, it’s too much haha. I think I’ll only ever bring one or two. I guess it depends on what you want to do with the footage. But cutting it all down to the 13...

    My wife got me a skydio for my birthday...Here's the first trail ride with some buddies

    Thanks! She got me the “Skydio 2”. I think it’s the only current consumer level product they have right now. I think the other thing they’re currently making is for commercial use.

    My wife got me a skydio for my birthday...Here's the first trail ride with some buddies

    Thanks man! I was blown away when she gave it to me...I tried to talk her into returning it because it seemed like an unnecessary spend. But it's really fun and I'm amazed at how well it works.

    My wife got me a skydio for my birthday...Here's the first trail ride with some buddies

    Just sharing. The drone is pretty rad. This was a really easy local trail (our friend was out riding for the first time in like 25 years so we kept it simple). As for the bikes, I'm riding a trek rail 7, one friend is on a 2019 Haibike allmtn 3.0, another on the 2020 allmtn 2.0 and another on a...

    What is this piece on the motor and is it right to look like this?

    Hi, it’s certainly possible that I’ve just never noticed it before but it seems kind of strange. It’s only viewable on the left side and getting low and the pedal out of the way. I’m referring to the little silver piece at about 5 o’clock… Anyone know?

    eMTBs and overlanding: some thoughts

    totally agree...I think overlanding and emtb really go hand in hand. You have to be careful not to push it on crazy stuff I’d think. An injury is worse further out. Where do you like overlanding in California?

    Anyone change the stem or bars to get their hands a bit higher?

    You’re right, that works too. I’ve been doing that when it gets really steep anyway but the part that gets my hands the most is more like long flattish/small incline sections where I am just wanting to cruise at the top of my seat height and it’s too much weight on my hands.

    Anyone change the stem or bars to get their hands a bit higher?

    Thanks for the reply! My concern about sitting more upright is that it puts even more weight on my hands. I sort of Yes, you’re correct. The 7 has the smaller 31.8mm stem so if I went with a 35 I’d have to change the stem also. How do you like the 20mm change in rise on the bars? How did it...

    Anyone change the stem or bars to get their hands a bit higher?

    I'm really trying to nail down my position on the bike and when I have the saddle in the perfect position for pedaling (i.e. top of the dropper, knee to pedal line, right height, saddle level (and tried a couple degrees back also), etc) I find that it puts too much pressure on my hands and I get...

    Did your creak also sound like mine in the video? Also-cheers to a fellow beek!

    Still having annoying creaking problems

    removing the battery does not stop it and the front axle is tightened with a torque wrench to spec. I havent tried the stem and top cap bolts. I’ll give it a shot, but it sounds like it doesn’t sound like it’s coming from there. I’m assuming not everyone has this sound?

    Still having annoying creaking problems

    yes the motor has been dropped, inspected, and retightened. It didn’t fix it. It isn’t just with pressure on the crank. I can stand to the side of the bike or just weight the bike and it makes this sound.
