While we are discussing trials. I want to find a setup with similar feel as my moto trials bike. I know an eddy current is really close to a trials tire but they are too speedy. I’m thinking about a pair of wtb vigilante 2.8 in rough high grip. Grippy compound and stiff sidewall to facilitate...

Where in the pnw are you located? Now that shimano has updated software to allow you to tune all assist levels it’s shouldn’t be much of an issue.
That said it all depends on rider mass and assist level. Riding in the “old default” eco and mixed medium trail was able to do a 25mile 3000’...
Here in Washington cladd 1 bikes are bikes, BUT use on natural surfaces is up to the land owner/park system. Not legal riding anywhere close to me. If I have to ride in places open to motos I’m taking my moto. I’m 6 months I have yet to have any run ins with anyone that gets more than a stink...
Yes. I dint like how the left side of the motor hung out on it’s own so far. I used 2.5” bar for the main part and a short piece of 4” for the deflector. I tried a JB weld as a poor mans bond for the pieces it didn’t hold. I’ll have to find someone who can run a bead on both sides.
I wanted to give a shout out to the developers of EMax. The iOS app saved my juicy bacon today. Got lost on the wrong side of a ridge line with one red bar. Dialed eco down to 25% 25nm assist. Range went from 5 miles to 14. Made it back to the car with 1 mile left. Most range anxiety I’ve had...
Carbon is not a miracle material. I'm shocked every time I see carbon parts on a MTB let alone and EMTB. I choose duriblity over weight every day. Tends to be cheaper too. Total carbon parts on my Meta, 0
Good idea. I started a thread like this at the first of the year. Un-Official Clydesdale Thread - EMTB Forums
I'm 6'5" (196cm) I’m 4 months into emtb ownership and it has been a great experience all around. I started 2019 at 269lbs. I figured if I’m dropping $4k on a bike I need to ride at least...
Yay happy to see another grip shift user on here. I swapped my meta over to gripshift before the first ride. Been riding gripshift for more than 20 years. I find is so much better than triggers. Btw the grips that seam includes suck the are tapered towards the end of the bar. I had lots of...
You are racing an ebike. :unsure: You get what you get. If you want to go faster pedal harder like you would on a regular bike. Mountain out of a mole hill. All speedometers that are not gps based generally read 8–10% slow to keep the manufacturer on the radar side of a lawsuit.
As will all...
I’m on a 2018 so the leverage ratio is a little higher than the 2019 29er. I’m running a 650lb spring a and tip the scales at 109kg. My riding style is one where I don’t leave the ground much and prefer plush traction over big hits.
