    spares carrying - on bike/backpack recommendations

    This is sort of an asshole thing to do, but if im out with friends i pack way less since i know they'll have a multi-tool, tire levers, pump, ext. But ill make sure i pack a tube

    Pedal strikes

    I use to run carbon cranks without protector boots. Had quite a lot of rock strikes. Never compromised the arms until about 4 years later one of the arms split like wood while pedaling. Anyways, if you're due for a pedal upgrade check out OneUp's aluminum pedal. They're pretty thin

    First e-bike series. Winner - Giant

    For shits and giggles, next year, as a preseason warm-up, i'd like to see Gwin racing this on an Intense Tazer, Amaury Pierron on a Commencal Meta Power, and Troy Brosnan on Spectral:ON, Eliot Jackson on ‎Trance E+, and Richie Schley on a YT Decoy :cool:

    Article E-Bikes, they just do all the work for you

    I wonder if the same people who think emtb is easy, think MX is easy too?

    Cube HT or FS?

    FS even if you don't need it now, you might find yourself riding places you never thought with epowa. Oh and you can ride up staircases in the city with a FS ebike ? Good on checking out the 20" you can always go with a shorter stem

    Why can't I get the good Ebikes in the US.

    I remember when fat biking was blowing up in my region of the US. Back then there were only 4 brands to choose from, so when you went out riding in the winter you saw the same bikes everywhere. People started to pimp out their rides just to look different. Now you almost never see the same...

    EMTB high budget... buy now or wait till end of 2019?

    I think if you dig into when Shimano or Brose/Specialized started designing ebikes and ebike motors... you'd have to look back as far as 2010 (Shimano), and probably earlier for Specialized. So while eBiking is just now catching on, stuff has been in design and engineering for almost a decade...

    Greetings from California

    Welcome! When i was looking at a Levo i was in your predicament as well. I figured the base model was the best value and didn't need a lot of upgrades to be awesome. I found you can buy X Fusion Manic dropper post on eBay for pretty cheap. It's my favorite dropper post to date. I have one...

    EMTB high budget... buy now or wait till end of 2019?

    All Shimano would have to do is come out with higher amp charger and maybe a software update so the BMS doesn't freak out. Might want to call a YT rep and ask about what charger they use I plan on doing some road trips with my bike this summer and bought a 600w sin wave inverter for my car to...

    EMTB high budget... buy now or wait till end of 2019?

    I could only argue waiting if someone where really considering a Levo. The only thing i can see in the immediate future is the '19 issues getting sorted out for 2020. And eventually the Kenevo will get redesigned for the newest Brose motor. Shimano on the other hand needs to come out with...

    EMTB high budget... buy now or wait till end of 2019?

    It sounds like the YT would be a good fit for you... since they'll have a higher capacity battery in the near future and their customer service isn't horrendous like Canyon I personally don't believe Solid State batteries will be here anytime soon - even though some disagree, and I don't think...

    EMTB high budget... buy now or wait till end of 2019?

    I could see an (XTR) E9000 coming out, but i think E8000 will stay the say for sometime. Shimano is historically slow to release new products. I might take a look at Commencal Meta Power if you're considering the Canyon. Their customer service is way better and they ship their bikes to...

    Long time rider

    I have to admit, im thinking about buying a second eBike myself just for the winter and looking at a full suspension. Just thinking about all the adventurous bush-whacking and winter riding i could do... we get a few feet of snow here a year so it would be perrrrfect

    Long time rider

    Welcome! Have you taken a look at the 6Fattie Levo's? As the best selling ebike to date, there's probably quite a few more used ones to choose from. Might get along with plus size tires as a happy medium Also - if you ride the LaMere Ultra Beast let use know what you think! That bike looks...

    Buying your first (e)MTB, go cheap or expensive?

    Heck if you really want to go cheap borrow your brother/dads/uncles 1990's mountain bike hanging in the garage and thrash the hell out of it on the trails. Once it becomes so broken it's unridable, go out and drop used-car money on a new bike. That's what I did and so thankful for it. I knew at...
