    DH World Cup thread

    Not to mention that Koretzky saw him and turned into him the way I saw it but Pidcock was as you say ahead and had the racing line at that point and came out the stronger of the two. Koretzky lost the race when to went off the track earlier and as mentioned he will have to live with that. The...

    Changing a Flat while on the road. and How far can I go

    Just an off the cuff guess but that type of bike is not well known for efficiency, Chineseium hub motor/fat 20" wheels/upright positioning, so I would say you will be using around 25wh/mi dependent on speed and terrain. Less if less and more if more....... With both batteries you have 1920wh's...

    Oakley Prism Trail

    I have used Oakley low light lenses for years now. The persimmons were my favorite for a long time but they discontinued them several years ago when they came out with the Prism lenses. I use the Sutro frame with the Trail lens now and it does work as advertised in the woods that are where I...

    Star Union MGM, Another light contender?

The...

    Quick coffee machine poll

    I abandoned my drip machine I posted about 3/23 a few months ago in favor of a $30 Amazon espresso machine due to boredom of cups of black coffee in favor of some frothy hot cappacino style beverage. My son has a nicer one at his house and after a visit there I got attracted to the option...

    The cost of DIY ebikes

    Sky's the limit as usual but building any bike the attraction is that you can use parts you already own, have perhaps discounted access to or perceive to be the best for you and your riding style. The only way I know of to do DIY on the cheap is to fit an add on motor and battery to an existing...

    2025 ZF Bike Eco System - New Motor!

    Looks like it's pretty wide but no word I have seen on the Q factor? Not a deal breaker for most but can be for others.

    155mm crank rabbit hole...

    Maybe it's just me and my lack of GAF about shaving grams on an eBike but the idea of a set of cranks that has a bunch of holes in them seems like a bad idea?

    "Freegen", regen for ebikes that finally has all the answers?

    As this tech is only applicable to hub motors I don't think it will have any effect on the EMTB population. Although I have always wanted to put a small hub motor on the front of a MTB to create a two wheel drive type scenario which would benefit from FreeGen. Not necessary for automobiles as...

    Askoll Ultra C90A

    Did a search here and this system was mentioned in regards to the fact that it matches the mounting of a Shimano system but there wasn't any discussion of it? So I thought I would post a link to their site: https://askollultra.com/for-business/ Seems like it ticks most of the boxes...

    Escooters vs Emtb so unfair

    Here in Oregon USA the Scooter class is allowed a 25mph top speed while eBikes are set at 20mph. Go figure....Some states in the US allow for a 28mph top speed for Class III eBikes but are realistically only applicable for road use. And I would wager to say that the Class III bikes designated as...

    You can ring my bell!

    Bike life would be so much simpler if it was universally understood that the ring of a bell registered to all trail/path users, as well as other cyclists, to move to the right when possible to allow the bell ringer to pass on your left.

    DH World Cup thread

    Way above my skill level on a bike for sure. And no aspirations either. Looked impossible upon first, second and third glance but BK broke the barrier and Matt sealed it as a doable. But you have to recognize how much it shook them for sure. But not as shook as the last guy who hit it and had...
