    Unless you have the seatpost maxed out for the amount of available frame insertion depth.

    If you had to give up 10-20mm of dropper travel in order to run a Switchgrade, is it worth sacrificing so much travel?

    So do we like these new lite bikes?

    Until a big revolution in battery energy density occurs and trickles down to eMTBs, we'll continue to see at least FF and lightweight branches on the eMTB tree for the foreseeable future (i.e. it isn't going to "go all lite"). As far as which way to go, it's just a matter of knowing yourself...

    TRP brakes with SRAM rotors

    Just adding on to @BAMBAMODA 's comment. With respect to the thickness, there should be no issue. I use 2mm rotors on my DHR Evos and the manual only prohibits 1.8mm rotors.

    Comment by 'Gyre' in article 'Ibis Oso Launched - Bosch Powered EMTB'

    Keep in mind that the Bosch software partitions the battery capacity to maintain some reserve just for the light. Since the Oso has an integrated light, I'm sure that's in play. If you take it to a dealer, they should be able to either reduce or eliminate the battery partition.

    What are your thoughts on the angle increments? -10 and +12 seem like huge numbers.

    Colored rotors

    If you're talking about color on the rotor arms or carrier, it shouldn't matter - get whatever color floats your boat. If the color is on the braking track, run away and don't back. That's the mark of a manufacturer who has their priorities all wrong.

    what happens if your display breaks?

    Bulls is your best bet. It's not inconceivable, but it's highly unlikely someone duplicated all the protocols, interfaces, and functions that Bloks used.

    what happens if your display breaks?

    Generally speaking, they're not interchangeable (with perhaps some very limited exceptions). What ebike do you have?

    Comment by 'Gyre' in article 'Time to ditch the battery key!'

    I need the option of an easily removable battery so I can do very long rides with more than Eco mode. Do we have any numbers on how much weight a key locking mechanism adds over a comparable non-keyed battery mount?

    Chain lube

    I've used regular Squirt and "e-bike" Squirt. The e-bike version is quite thick and can really gunk up your pulleys if you don't scrape it off. In general I mostly use White Lightning and occasionally one of the Squirt versions. They work fine for me in dry SoCal conditions, but if rain and...

    Rail (625Wh) After 1650 miles I swapped out the motor, BUT would I buy another rail??

    Love your enthusiasm! Did the motor actually die at 1650 miles? What happened? Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see any reference to that in the video.

    Levo Gen 3 HR monitor from the bike not reporting any value in Garmin computer

    I have the exact same problem. I contacted Specialized Rider Care and this was their response: "Unfortunately, the TCU can only send out certain data via ANT+/Bluetooth. I apologize for the inconvenience." I replied that the TCU is in fact putting out an HR-specific ANT+ UID, just no data...

    Bosch gen4 - tour mode too strong?

    It seems like OP is just looking for confirmation of his original conclusions instead of sincerely seeking new information.

    Bosch gen4 - tour mode too strong?

    You won't need to record it if you use the Power Contribution screen.

    Bosch gen4 - tour mode too strong?

    Because if you actually have "Tour" and not "Tour+" as you claimed, the output is strictly capped at 50Nm and 140% assist. With eMTB and Turbo, they go up to 85Nm and 340% assist. The information is a little harder to find on the Bosch web site than it used to be, but the numbers are still...

    Bosch gen4 - tour mode too strong?

    Both Tour and Tour+ provide noticeably less power than eMTB, even when you restrict eMTB mode to max out at 75Nm. If your Rail has a Kiox, set up the "Power Contribution" screen and go for two rides: one in Tour mode (take a photo of the screen and reset your ride) then another in eMTB mode...

    Canyon Grail

    Yeah, I returned it after that one weekend trying it out. Wasn't comfortable with the front end, and that's fatal given that the whole thing is so proprietary - it's not like I can experiment with different stem/handlebar combinations. When I spoke to the Canyon rep on the phone, he thought that...
