ARRGGH. Let us know what happens Thanks to Mikerb--I'll plug those open green/red/yellow open ports hoping for input from Specialized Rider Care.....

Does anyone know what size tires they run at Red Bull Rampage? Do they use inserts?

I was able to replace rear brake line without dropping the motor. It wasn't easy peasy though

Today with 2" of fresh in New England fat tires might have helped me up on steep hills that I spun out on with the 45 North studded tires. But that would mean an entirely different bike. Can anyone tempt me with a great fat tire electric bike? And we only have deep soft snow for a few days a...

The answer is yes.

Great thread. Please keep it going with motor install, etc
