    Bimotal Mid Drive announcement

    Bimotal is a company that first came out with this concept which you may have or not seen and discounted as not MTB appropriate? Just received notice today that they have been developing a mid drive that has some impressive, if they are to be believed, specs, In a relatively compact design...

    Haibike Flyon Xduro Nduro 8.0 battery Charge

    Not really sure what you are asking here? There are so many ebikes out now in every different model from commuter to gravel, to full suspension that it is really up to the consumer to at least get into the ballpark for their needs? That said after a few years with an M620 motored bike that I...

    DH World Cup thread

    Very disappointing for us here in the US for sure. I have been using a VPN to access GCN+ for events not available here and waiting to figure out what the new plan is? I am thinking that still using the VPN I will have to subscribe to Discovery + but not sure what level of subscription I will...

    Hybridizer Sann Bafang M500 series Aluminum FS

    I never followed through and my lust for the SRAM transmission faded as I found a suitable option that was much cheaper but will be interested in how your order turns out?

    Spiked tyres width

    The 2.25 spike tyres should be fine. Rode similar Hakkapalitta spiked tires on my town bike for years when I lived in cold country. Adjust your psi according to your weight and riding style the lower the better. If you are riding in deeper snow they will still work but at some point there...

    155mm crank rabbit hole...

    Only time you will regret having shorter cranks is if you run out of battery and have to pedal home.

    Link to Linkglide components?

    Thanks but I got what I needed from an industry contact in the end. I got the XT derailleur, 11/50 Cassette (which is pretty stoutly built) and as long as I was in with the hookup I got three chains. Didn't need the shifter but the inside guy was pretty sure I would in the end. Came the other...

    "Ebike" Tyre levers ?

    On second thought a wedge would be a better tool for the job! You could saw some old ones into thinner pieces to work on recalcitrant tires that won't fall into their place.

    Destined for Dangerholm?

    Will he be the first to utilize the HPS system for a super lite eMTB? https://hps-bike.com/

    "Ebike" Tyre levers ?

    I would think that a stout stick and an and an axe would be more your jam?

    Honda looking to enter the EMTB market with a concept

    That is one ugly bike. Using a Brose motor is a cop out as if Honda engineers couldn't come up with their own. Guess you could say I'm not impressed.......

    "Ebike" Tyre levers ?

    I had a cush core lever but broke it the other day and is what led me to look further. It is hard enough to fit a slim lever in between the bead and the rim at the last and I found the bulk of the cush core lever to be a problem overall.

    "Ebike" Tyre levers ?

    Kind of a necro thread and not specific to eBikes but I just got these and they work really well. I had been using a quick clamp to hold the beads in place but these work better. The struggle is real and this system at least gets it done without swearing and sweating.

    Haibike Flyon Xduro Nduro 8.0 battery Charge

    There are quite a few companies, that have provided and still do, legally compliant bikes ranging from FS to Step Through models with the M620 although they are more consumer direct focused perhaps. One thing for sure is that they are still being offered today whereas the TQ Flyon, that took...

    Haibike Flyon Xduro Nduro 8.0 battery Charge

    "Well you need to take in consideration that the tq motor is by far the most aggressive and powerful motor ever to be fitted on a emtb." Not so. The Bafang M620 is capable of running easily at 3000w with an aftermarket controller and half that with the stock controller. Big difference is that...

    E-bike visibility tip!

    The reason I have an orange coat here in the PNW is to use it during the fall hunting season. Haven't been shot yet!
