Here's what I gave up: '02 CLK55. I wasn't driving it much, wife was nagging me to sell it, so I maliciously complied and brought home a Rail 5. That was two years ago. Got quite the eye roll at first - never mind building wheels, building another bike, etc - but now she's...
Last August I built a set of wheels with an XD hub body (White Industries XMR+) for my Trek Rail 5, to replace the stock wheels which had an HG hub body. I haven't counted the miles on the cassette, nor can I recall if I've used just one or two GX chains.
After busting a link on the...
I installed one on my 2021 XL Rail 5, no fitment issues. I did notice that at first it lost air, and I check the pressure before every ride, but that seems to have more or less abated.
I'm 220-225 depending on what I'm carrying, at 62 not terribly aggressive, and do not (yet) have a...
My "army green" 2021 Rail 5 has a few chips, mainly around the seat stay, a couple elsewhere, exposing the light/white undercoat.
Does anyone know of a source for touch-up paint?
For myself, it's the 10% of the time that I'm on a roadway, usually 25mph limit, where I'd like a few more MPH. I built a wheelset with a SRAM XD hub so I've got one less tooth on the smallest cog; that ~8% difference keeps the cadence reasonable at low-to-mid-20 mph when I'm on a slight...
That would explain it - it's been driving me nuts trying to figure out what I need to do to get turn-by-turn back.
@oceanskipper By 'export to ebike-connect' you mean the automatic push from komoot to bosch, not a manual import/export, right?
Just came across this post which may explain it Bosch Nyon importing GPX routes....
I have always planned routes on Komoot and you necessarily need waypoints to map a desired path from start to finish, but according to this post it seems something changed that breaks turn-by-turn on these sort...
That's impressive, I'm surprised it didn't get hung up. I've dropped the motor a couple of times - new brakes, longer shifter cable housing needed after adding a few inches of rise via stem and bars - was pretty easy. Or should I say I lifted the motor as it was a lot easier flipping the...
Not sure why but my Nyon’s map screen isn’t showing how far the next turn/intersection is anymore. In upper left corner it used to shows distance and direction of next turn. Suddenly not. Turn by turn directions is and has been enabled. Any ideas?
SRAM 12x grip/twist shifter. I jammed my right thumb a couple of weeks ago after a bee (!) flew into my mouth and stung me, more or less causing me to stop paying attention to the trail, resulting in front wheel washing out and down I went. There was no way I could shift with my thumb, and...
I'm building a bike out of leftover parts from my continuing Rail upgrades. I picked up a Sonder Frontier frame/fork, and am building a commuter/urban warrior/light trail rigid 29er bike, and at some point I may slap a bafang middrive on it, too. The seat post is the last item on the list...
I didn't even think of the CSU and just assumed the stem wasn't properly clamped to the steering tube. I wouldn't be riding that bike until it gets figured out.
To the OP: knock block is supposed to prevent the crown from hitting the frame, no more or no less. No way should the bars be...
"the forks stop but the handlebars still turn more the fork like few more inches "
How can the fork stop and the handlebars keep rotating unless the stem is rotating on the steering tube?
Agreed. An alloy Rail frameset would be a stripped down Rail 5 or 7 (the only difference between the two frameset-wise, in the US at least, would be the battery size). Comparing price ($900 diff) and specs of 7 and 9.7 (pretty much identical except for the frame material and purion $115 vs...
