    Got a new EBike, Anyone familiar with hydraulic Brake systems, Rotor Sizes etc.

    I think you nailed ir @R120. @FrodoBaggins20 - you need to loosen the rear quick release, push down to reseat then tighten up. Where I marked in red usually matches up.

    Valentino Rossi makes an EMTB

    Interesting. The CGI of the Terra Pro looks a bit better with the yellow. Me, I would have the whole thing yellow with black hi-lites.

    Ebike Acceptance

    Funnily enough - the SC has been backed by people like Flush it Down Brown, Pisshead Pelosi, Steroid Schwartsnegget, Nutcase Newscum etc .... the same clowns that destroyed my once great state.

    Either the start or the end of a top end rebuild.

    My Levo Leaning on Stuff

    Yup, but I was seeing that ad when I was living back in SoCal. Always thought, why the hell would I want to go to Arizona. Eventually ditched SoCal before it got too bad - now I wish I was in Arizona.

    Hornets

    Nasty frigging things. Was trimming my track and upset a nest. After a few stings, I though F-this, time to go home for the day, have a shower and a quiet beer. Stripped off and just as I was about to climb into the shower I spotted my face in the mirror. Threw my work kit back on and...

    HUGE sizing mistake - Help is needed

    Even better comparison. A couple other observations/comments. I did not like the bars on the Rail I rode as I prefer something a bit straighter. On my first Scott and my Levo, changing the saddle made a huge difference to the feel of the bike as well.

    HUGE sizing mistake - Help is needed

    I'm 1m77 as well and found the M Trek a perfect fit when I took one for a test ride Tried a large initially and it was really horrendous for me to ride - seemed like riding a Caddilac when I was used to a Pontiac.

    Article Introducing the new 2022 Scott Patron eRide

    Not certain as that was what he told me over a after ride coffee. However, the batteries in a Shimano battery pack I have seen were Panasonic CGR18650CG and according to the spec sheet they are 2250mAh. Have also seen inside a Darfon battery pack for the Shimano Steps system and that had...

    He said it was something like Battery Repack in Auckland.

    Article Introducing the new 2022 Scott Patron eRide

    Yes ... and no. Came across a guy a few weeks back on a ride that had a battery failure on his E8000 powered bike. Could not get a battery from his LBS so sent the battery to a guy that does repacks for contractors power tools. Had a bunch of failed cellsso did a full repack - apparently the...

    What are manufacturers doing to support EMTB? (USA)

    The bike manufacturers rarely put much effort into anything like that. Have watched IMBA struggle year after year with little support. I applaud Trek & Yeti for their support as well as Shimano, Sram, Jenson USA and others that chip in. Far too often at various meetings I have observed lots of...

    Rockshox Flight Attendant

    Considering a large majority of riders I talk to haven't spent much time setting up what they already have this just looks like an expensive piece of kit to break in a fall.

    Bosch Ebike connect

    Have had that a couple times - always with Samsung or iPhones. Usually when some maintenance or update resets location settings/permissions.

    Old blokes who should know better.....

    When I was paid to race motorcycles, on a couple occasions I ground the palm off on a bench grinder so I could hold on to the bars. Learned to cutthe palm off with a dremel them have mom glue it back together with some plaster of paris before I was due to have it removed.
