I've been using this since 2016, mostly for 25-622 track tyres up to 7 bars/100 psi: Deck & Blacker @ Amazon You'll need an adapter for presta valves. Don't really know about accuracy, but it's been fine for my use.

Triathlon folks use special bottle cage supports for the bar and/or behind the saddle. Maybe that's one option?

Static meaning without any load? Does not tell much of anything? Also, with fatter tires you probably use lower pressures, so the bike and BB stay lower when loaded, in real ride situations?

How do you measure BB height (or drop) on a full suspension bike?

Mellow evening commute via the Canal de la Siagne.

Just swapped to a pair of Super Moto X for commuting. Made a short 8 km test ride before dark... not surprisingly they do roll well compared to the original Rekon+ & High Roller II combo. Will be interesting to see how they cope commuting on rough roads.

Might well be, I don't have a personal opinion on that, I was just referring to Gary's previous posts, where Spectral (for him) was a winner hands down, specs wise. Obviously a delivery delay can convert a bike from winner to looser.

On April 3rd you wrote that yet today, only one short week later you've cancelled your order and are now waiting for a lesser machine to arrive... o_O I would have thought that you'd stand by all those strongly opinionated pro Canyon Spectral assessments in this thread previously. But no...

Don't know about the future, but in my neck of woods (Southern France, Nice area) the local bike shops tell me that they get 70% of their revenue from eBikes at the moment. Times they are a changin'. It's no more about innovators, we are probably in early adopters phase already... and maybe the...

I live for these moments.

Life is good.

Mmmmm, cool idea. Joined.

Different bike, different rider and different path, but FWIW: I'm 68 kg, bike is Lapierre 527i Shimano, 500 Wh battery. I managed a 60 km ride with 1400 m of climb mostly (95%) in Eco mode. The battery was practically flat after that, estimated remaining range was 1 km, Strava trace. I...

Feeling high - after 1400 meters of climbing.

Did some climbing today in bloody cold weather. It's Mediterranean sea down there in the horizon:

Yack! And Mud there is.

... and todays commute through the woods:

Couple of photos from the first weekend with Lapierre AM527i Shimano:

My friends from the Paris-Nice race went by and said hello, too. :rolleyes:
