I try let off during shifts but that’s how I rode before the e-bike. Those times where that doesn’t happen, it takes the shift fine. It’s bulit to take it. I really like the gear spacing and the single gear per shift is clean/precise.
I know what you mean on cost. Fortunately, I was able to...
Helpful hint that everyone may not know about....for those of us in dry dusty riding conditions and knowing water hoses not the best thing for e-bikes/mtb bikes....
I use the California mini duster after ride while bike on rack...ten minutes
Then if interested in adding a little shine/light...
Agreed. People should just enjoy being outside and happy for other people doing the same. Wether riding a 20 yr old steel bike, an ebike or a carbon XC race bike, the point is to ride, be courteous and have fun. And the smile that the e-bike brings is hard to argue with.
Form what I hear, there is broader acceptance of e-bikes overseas. Not sure where you are. Here in the states, not as much. If I hear one more person say you have to earn the downhill by pedaling up, I may lose it. Again, spoken by guys on $10,000 bikes that have done everything possible to get...
Thanks k. Good to know about the 2.8s. Guessing they were butchers which have slower rolling/larger knobs than the purgatories. What 3.0 tire are you using? 36 up front? Don’t think my legs could take that, even with my 48t rear. Just too steep around here, for me anyway, but I’m a late 40s...
I get out usually once a week. Just had surgery so down for a few months. I’d say about 600 miles. Every hour riding in my area is about 1500 feet of climbing. Much more fun now with e assist.
Kcarbon: I’m using Maxxis High Roller IIs 27.5 x 3.0. Wanted to try 2.8s either in Minions or maybe Rekons, but already having some clearance issues. Very rocky where I ride so don’t want to lose anymore BB height. The HR IIs 3.0 have great breaking/climbing traction. Seem to hang on to rocks...

Hello. I’m new to forum. I’m riding a 2017 Turbo Levo comp with some changes. Running the EX1 8 speed. Working out well in case anyone considering it. Also switched to Shimano Saints. Very happy with those as well.

Riding 2017 Turbo Levo Comp with several changes. One big change is that I’m running the EX1 8 speed. Love it. Throwing it out there in case anyone was considering the change. Also switched out to Shimano Saints. Love them too.
