    Sam's Bike Youtube has spam commenters

    If he was hacked I don't think you would be able to message him. agree it sucks, but it usually pretty obvious, no one ever reaches out to give you free stuff, not via email, text etc. Actual hacking is very rare, most breaches are social engineering like you experienced. so good to be...

    Sam's Bike Youtube has spam commenters

    he wasnot “hacked’ this happens on pretty much all YouTube channels, it’s called spoofing… there really is nothing he can do about it, it has nothing to do with him using VPN or more account security…. you fell for a scam, that sucks but it’s not the channels fault…. Just fyi.

    Do we see a new decoy this year?

    new battery incoming.. was told around November in USA, I believe its a 720wh. I would imagine they will do some sort of refresh? geometry tweak but with same battery/frame design. Could use a longer reach and steeper head tube, other than than I haven't seen much that make me want to move...

    Yt decoy clicking noise

    Awesome, funny in my post I said I upgraded to xt, but I only upgraded to xt shift pod, could get xt rear mech mid pandemic. I think the self works but it's super sensitive to chain length like I detailed above. Anyway glad it's working for you.

    Yt decoy clicking noise

    I replaced mine with a new chain and still had the issue.. but I was able to replicate on the stand, it was basically the chain skipping on the jockey wheels. so ended up replacing with another new chain and left it long, like 2 links longer, so long that there was a lot of slack in smallest...

    Yt decoy clicking noise

    That’s your drivetrain rear mech.. had mine do that.. I replaced rear mech, hanger and new chain, trying to chase the problem. In the end I think it was chain length although not 100%.. try to add or subtract a link and see if that helps… also make sure you are using shimano chain and get a new...

    Full Fat or New Gen Lites

    I'd go lightweight after being on a yt decoy for last 2 years that weighs 56-58 lbs... the fauza 60nm sounds perfect, I miss the feeling of being able to be "lighter "on the bike down the steeps.. want more pop!:) ability to ditch battery and ride as an acoustic bike on shuttle runs will be...

    YT Bikes USA no batteries available (rant/complaint)

    Awesome thanks, just going to ride this until it blow up.. decided not to put any money into it as it's turning into Dino 🦕.... I'm excited for the small motor lighter weight ebike though! Definitely gonna hold Out for one. Getting tired of the 58 pound decoy! 😂

    Decoy Creak Solved - Lower Link Pivot

    Hey, just a shout out to you just found the same thing on my decoy!! called yt and they confirmed fiche is correct! interestingly the bearing was shot on that side that was lacking the spacer.. wonder how many went out assembled incorrectly like this.

    e8000 Beeping then cutting out on steep tech climbs in Boost

    For me anyway it's pretty infrequent.. but when it happens it's no fun. It almost like it senses a blockage.. as if something was jammed In derailleur/mech... the heat thing is just conjecture at this point.

    e8000 Beeping then cutting out on steep tech climbs in Boost

    Sure but I'm not getting an error code, just a beep, then motor cuts out for a second.. might not come back the whole ride. This is on short tech sections in boost.. not on long climbs. I'll have a look at terminals though:)

    Decoy frame bearings

    Heat is you friend when replacing bearings... get a heat gun and get it good and hot before you try and remove, might have bearing loctite on it. also when installing..put bearing in freezer overnight.. then heat the cup with heat gun and the will drop right in. also, small taps vs giant wacks...

    So you are guilty of riding long boost climbs in hot weather but don't like toasted engines or own a corvette?

    YT Bikes USA no batteries available (rant/complaint)

    Oh cool thank you! now that someone brought back he 700wh battery thread im thinking I'll hold out hope again for a bit.. probably misguided! lol Maybe they are getting shipments and they sell out right away.. seems weird though.. they should have a wait list so they can track to specific...

    YT Decoy 700WH battery

    For sure on range although not sure much is else to too far behind... shorter reach than some.. maybe steep seat angle although that's preference.. as is chain stay length. I have a decoy and keep looking at new bike to upgrade to but nothing sticks out as being much more advanced than what I...

    YT Decoy 700WH battery

    In what way do you think it's dated and left behind? Just the battery? Or you talking geo etc? they always get pretty high ratings in tests even now.
