    2019 Motor Distance/Failure Survey

    Well i allmost said trust me but you can have doubts. The thing is a 30,000 kms trouble free car used to be normal. A motorcycle is just smaller. An Ebike again smaller. Yamaha was first in the Electric motor for 2 wheels. They know what they do. I have read 2016 Yamaha owners saying their...

    2020 Giants are listed

    I guess the code of the derailleur is the model made for Ebikes(no multiple shifts). I did not check but the 11 S should be 11-42 or if 12 S 11-50

    2020 Giants are listed

    I agree but i just wish they used shorter chainstay to be more for my style of riding. Also last year it seemed they only imported some of the Emodels. Will they offer an Efatbike?

    Are you feeling it?

    I ride very often. Without a car i pedal to the trails and back. A nice network here includes some wide trails(crosscountry ski) some narrow trails(snowshoes) and some singletracks. The more i know the trails the faster i go. After 90 minutes i sometimes feel like i spent time in a washing...

    Moving saddle further back or longer stem

    You might be able to buy a seatpost with more setback. You need to be able to climb, keep the front wheel down so it is allways about testing what works in your unique situation. Hopefully you will find a way to be confortable sitting and standing. I like a light front wheel but there are no...

    Cube 2020 ?

    Well i know for myself i do like the simplicity and light weight of HT. Last year i was on 29 with tiny rims, 2.3 tires and i prefer this year 2.8/3.0x27.5 on 40 mm. If i go to 29 it would be 30 mm 2.6 but everyone has to try and decide. I started enjoying expert trails and i appreciate the...

    Cube 2020 ?

    This is my first + bike. I was curious, wanted to try different tires. I put and ad and my 3.0 was traded for a Rekon 2.8 Luckily i love that tire, fast with enough grip for where i ride. Also to avoid pedal strikes i switched from 175 to 165 mm arms and love that too.
