Option E should be a chipped setup and you should have an option F for throttle bikes as there is a big difference between the two. And, most trials don’t allow throttle bikes. I wish my Trek EXe had no limit. Because even on a flat flow trail I’m bumping up against that 20 mph cutoff.

I just broke 5 ribs from a pedal strike on New Year’s Day. So, 10 mm shorter is something I’m thinking about. Although I would like to try a bike out first that had 10 mm shorter cranks. Until then my plan is to be much more careful of not drop a pedal when I shouldn’t.

High competition in the industry says you’re wrong. This is an expensive, relatively low volume business. If the prices are too high for you, take up running. Running shows aren’t that expensive.

You’re definitely putting in more power than the bike is. And yeah, the lighter it is the more range you’ll get. The EXe likes a high cadence. Anytime I’m going uphill I’m at 100 rpm or more. I know that seems fast, but you get used to it. Try a higher cadence and see if that helps you keep up...

Can you show us a screen shot of one of your longer but typical rides. I’d like to see how much power you are putting in compared to how much power the bike is putting in. There are some things you can do to get better range. If you strike a really good balance between your power, proper power...

Not every bike has everything that we want. It’s always a compromise. Like computers, as time goes on, they just keep getting better and better. The bikes a year from now will be lighter, more powerful and will have better range. We are already seeing that. You’re taking a trail Ebike and making...

What you really mean is your support and range are behind, not the bikes. The EXe was built to be light and it’s really for fit riders that just want a little assistance. It’s light enough to be ridden turned off. It’s only about 4 pounds heavier than some trail bikes. I’ve ridden mine, turned...

For what it’s worth, I cannot find a fault with the new 2024 Fox X2 @ 62.5mm stroke. The recommended settings for the psi needed for 30% sag are very accurate. The only thing I changed was to add 2 clicks of LSC. I use about 90% of the travel on a typical ride, which I’m ok with. That leaves a...

I’ve been down that road. Believe me, you get what you pay for.

No one’s beam pattern is as good as Outbound.

Their customer support here in the USA is as good as it gets.

Only Outbound lighting for me.

Where did I saw you were dumb? But, hey if that’s what you wanna believe, than knock yourself out. And yes, when it comes to cranks there is long and short. Short being 140mm and long being 180mm.

Wow, that average speed is slower than jogging speed.

^ Oh damn! Weird thing is, I don’t have a single bruise. I don’t know if that’s normal with rib fractures or not.

No, for the most part, companies dictate what we buy, by what they produce and shove it down our throats, with marketing. The latest thing being shoved down our throats is short cranks. And people are dumb enough to eat it up like it was the best thing since sliced bread. Orange has a big...

Get a large. With a medium, you’ll feel on top of the bike. With a large you’ll feel in the bike. It’ll be more stable and you’ll learn to make it more responsive in the corners. It’s a light bike. So, that shouldn’t be difficult. If you find it slightly long. Put a shorter stem on it. A 5mm...

I’ll take that advice. I’m wondering how they heal when they are displaced? Do the ends just heal over where they are or will they attach themselves back together? This is what I’m worried about.

A good single pivot with a good shock works very well. The perfect suspension system has yet to be developed. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. It makes you wonder if all the complicated designs shoved down our throats are worth it. Other areas in the mountain bike industry have come...
