    Maxxis ignoring eMTBs?

    Maxxis are chronically undersized, their 2.5s are really closer to 2.4s. There are two reasons that above 2.5" Maxxis doesn't use a DD casing, one being that mid fat tires are already heavy to begin with, and the other is it's a dying category. 2.6 - 3" tires were popular for a short time...

    How long before integrated motor/gearboxes go mainstream?

    Once we get past the "Pay the premium to be an alpha tester" stage, I'd be all in. Given that the small extra weight and drag penalty is meaningless on an ebike compared to the much easier and cheaper maintenance of your drivetrain, I think it's inevitable.

    Bosch Domination?

    Since by law all ebike motors are limited to the same max power, surely this must be a coincidence... :LOL:

    Trail Building

    Rogue hoe won't ship to you? I have experience with that one, it's a little small, but a nice combi tool. Wildland fire fighting supply places carry trailbilding tools, you might find a supplier that way.

    Would you be willing to pay an "e-bike fee" to ride at MTB parks?

    If by park, you mean public park I have no issue paying a fee if everyone else does. If you mean a private purpose built bike park, that already collects fees and provides some sort of up lift, again, I have no problem paying the same fee, or less if you're not going to use the lifts. I'm not...

    Unanswered What would eventually happen?

    I have a brake engineer friend in the industry and asked this exact question. Unless you have water in your system, your fluid won't boil. Your pads however will get so hot that they lose their coefficient of friction and effectiveness. They reach a set point of temperature, and since they...

    Ebike Acceptance

    Eventually, but it'll take years since the BLM didn't do their due diligence and follow all the bureaucratic steps required before granting blanket access. Studies, tests, NEPAs all the hoops will have to be jumped through first. The DOI secretary basically just shrugged and said "Sure...

    Forestal - Hype or Ripe ?

    "The rear suspension : TWIN LEVITY - which is effectively a simple but elegant progressive linkage system, or a clever way to reduce the number of bearings in the rear and then add them all back in again. " :LOL:

    Ebike Acceptance

    It was, it was submitted during the public process, just like you and I likely submitted our opinions. I'm not sure how many public processes you've been part of, but IME, whatever issue they're about has already been decided by whoever gets to make the decisions. The "public" part of the public...

    Levo Gen 2 Is this cable made of pure Bitcoin?

    Maybe Yeti makes it for them?

    Ebike Acceptance

    If we had the same laws, I think having the same access as mtbs would be already done and dusted.

    Ebike Acceptance

    Class 1-3 are all 750w nominal, which is based on the older federal law for ebikes. We're all on 250w emtbs because of the European laws. I'm starting to see more 750w and higher emtbs out there, but they're of a lesser quality, at least now. The DOI is being sued for allowing ebikes in...

    Article Next Generation: Forestal Siryon

    Complaining about the price is like me complaining about the price for a Bugatti, there's no way in hell I'm spending that much on a bike, any bike. I'd rather buy two non-dentist bikes and have choices.

    Pole EMTB is in the making.

    Any word on how long it'll last before the frame breaks? ;)
