    Start making sense?

    Not the first time this has come up on here but it will never cease to amaze me that this can occur?

    New Bike Day. Ari Explorer Peak e fat bike

    I find it interesting sometimes to see if I can locate where the pics on here are taken via Google Earth and looking at the area of this one I would say you have plenty of beach front to explore on your new bike! I would imagine though that in the winter it can be pretty brutal there though? I...

    RE-buildable batteries, not very compatible with most of our bikes though

    I saw that and it does open up the opportunity to revive older model, pre-integrated and sophisticated architecture, ebikes that only need a battery revival to keep them from the landfill, or worse a pile of sparking electronic crap in some third world country with children scrambling over it...

    Looking for a powerful but light EMTB

    Check out the Yamaha price event in another thread here? You can get a comparable bike to that Giant for 1/2 the money. Depends on if you have a Yamaha dealer in the program anywhere near though.

    Yamaha ditching stock at 1/2 price event going on now!

    Saw this on another forum and thought I'd share it here because it seems like a pretty good deal? Here is a teaser Not in the market but went through the steps to see if it was true and it is, although they did slip a delivery fee, which is only to a nearby according to zip code dealer...

    DH World Cup thread

    Never did get a feed of the DH race other than Danny's run and some Ed Bull mayhem shooting but looked like a fair race! Did catch the XCO on vecha3 YT channel that runs without any commentary which is fine with me. Plus not watching it live you can amp up to x2. I saw that the woman who won the...

    Looking for a powerful but light EMTB

    My bike weights 61lbs. close as I can get without a proper scale? I am not familiar with Salsa's lineup and had to look up what a Fargo is and it appears to be a drop bar rigid style? My rigid steel drop bar eBike with a 1000w front hub motor and a 750wh battery weighs 48lbs but it is a...

    Looking for a powerful but light EMTB

    Fair enough but there are some grumblings about the CYC kits that I have seen so you might want to dig a bit into that option? I started out 20+ yrs ago setting up DIY eBikes and it wasn't until a few years ago that I finally buckled to the trend of integrated battery and motor systems and at...

    After a solid year with the SRAM T-Type Transmission heres what I can tell you.

    Sounds like a whicket journey overall Richie! Thanks for the honest review, you know what I'm sayin'? I was tempted to go the transmission route myself that would have meant getting a new bike also but cheaped out with a mish mash Archer D1/Microshift derailleur/Linkglide cassette and chain on...

    Looking for a powerful but light EMTB

    I am not aware of it truth be told but in looking it up I am glad to see that Bafang has upped the BBSHD, which it looks basically to be outwardly, to torque sensing but disappointed that they stayed with the square taper BB spindle. I am not sure if it is Canbus or UART either but they say blue...

    Looking for a powerful but light EMTB

    If you are seeking excess of 1000w type power you are pretty much looking at Bafang still in either the M560/600 range with a 52v battery or the full M620 in either 48v or 52v. The torque sensing system in the integrated Bafang motors is a big change in how the bike will ride over the cadence of...

    Can you add a thumb throttle to a Gen 3 S-Works?

    Even if you could install a throttle, you can't, on your Levo you would be sorely disappointed in pinning it coming out of a corner as you suggest because a less than 1 h.p. motor doesn't have anywhere near the snot that your moto has. Not saying a throttle isn't handy and I wouldn't own an...

    Bafang M630 Thread

    "The m630 might be best suited to cargo bikes or bikes pulling a trailer coupled with the matched 5 speed auto." Which to be fair it seems was their intention? As an M620 owner I do agree that it has more than enough torque for bicycle rated components but it does amaze me sometimes at what...

    Bafang M630 Thread

    I am not seeing any advantages for mtb use? Bigger, wider Q factor and heavier than the M620 stick out?

    Jeez he only has to work one 44 hour week to make back the money he spent on Twitter! I wouldn't give him .10usd for political advice however.

    Trail Animals

    I saw a bear, a coyote and two deer the other day not far from my place but they didn't stick around for any pictures. I miss having a dog though. Had a chocolate lab that was a great trail dog for years. He could hang with a large group and never get in the way and drink water from a ditch...
