    Dengfu E22 Frame Thread

    So after a couple thousand miles now with my Z1 E22 M620 bike it has been a bit of a love/wtf relationship truth be told. My last kit was a TSDZ2 on an older alu fs frame and it had decent power to get up and over anything in my neighborhood with a smile on your face. I wanted to try an integral...

    Does anyone also ride a gravel eBike?

    I actually went with a gravel bike first because I had moved to an area that had way more double track than single track out the door. I was not happy with my KTM for having fun on because it lacked enough of an exercise component but it was handy for commuting the 23 miles one way I was faced...

    DH World Cup thread

    Did anyone see the footage of Bruni's get off during practice? It popped up on my Igram reels. Gnarly. I am not ashamed to say that I probably wouldn't survive track walk at the Black Snake and the idea of riding full gas down it is way beyond comprehension.

    DH World Cup thread

    The egg stands to end up on the UCI's face for letting Discovery in the door. But they are used to it and seem to be oblivious to the fact that most of their decisions are not popular and based on their monetary value.

    The State of eMTB in USA

    "reclassifying certain National Forest System (NFS) trails and roads as motorized instead of carving out an exception that would grant electric mountain bikes (eMTBs) access. This is a significant and problematic difference, according to some experts." No Duh. That is such a dumb idea that it...

    2.3" tyres on Focus rim?

    So you have the tyres and the wheel to fit it on already. Air is free so why not just try it and take your own word for it?

    Dengfu E22 Frame Thread

    OK, I tried to search for this info but can't quite come up with a conclusion. I want to get a coil shock for my E22 and don't want to fart around doing so as in more like plug and play. What shock size am I looking for? Thanks in advance.

    26" Wheels on an ebike?

    The former was due to wheelsize playing off of kid sized wheels due to tire selection and the latter was due to the adoption of adult sized wheels due to a 2.1 tire introduction in 1999 by WTB called the Nanoraptor. Outside of dirt jumping and some youth brands there are not many bicycles, e...

    Unanswered Can a faulty charger or bike kill a battery?

    On the other hand a friend of mine and his wife that split time between the EU and the US have a couple of Levo's stashed in a locker along with their other gear. During Covid they didn't get over there for almost 2 yrs. and upon getting the bikes out of storage, where nothing was done about the...

    Bafang Ultra.Reduce assist level 1 to 1/2?

    It depends on the version of Ultra, or M620/G510, you have whether it is a UART, a little older, or CanBus, newer. If it is UART you can get a programming cable that will allow you to do exactly what you seek to do. If it is CanBus at this time it isn't.

    Unanswered Can a faulty charger or bike kill a battery?

    The other question is did you go for an extended time without using the batteries? If let to run below their low voltage threshold while not in use set by the BMS they will "go to sleep" and may be able to be "woken" back up by someone that is savvy about batteries? I just shudder at the...

    Unanswered Can a faulty charger or bike kill a battery?

    That is an expensive proposition to replace...hard to figure out though how both batteries failed at the same time? You say they were @ 90% health with less than 100 charges but what does the app say now about them that makes you think they are both dead?

    The State of eMTB in USA

    TikTok is where the real action is these days, can't be searched.....wouldn't ya know that a post about something in "Merica would be the one to draw out the six guns. I think in my last post I mentioned something about divisiveness here in the land of the free?
