    DH World Cup thread

    Bon chance Super Bruni! Vali Höll had a great race also. RedBull restricted the US but some kind soul did a stream on YouTube. One more weekend and then into the post RedBull era.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    A new derailleur. Odd thing was I wasn't even riding the bike when it happened. Good thing is I use cheap derailleurs and my hanger was ok.

    Hub motor vs Mid drive (efficiency)

    "so end of the day it really is Mid-drive= off road, Hub drive = on road. its really that simple !" I came to this same conclusion a number of years ago. However it still seems like the "major" manufacturers don't agree and stick a mid drive on everything pretty much? Road or MTB. Personally...

    Hub motor vs Mid drive (efficiency)

    I also have bikes with hub and mid drives. I far prefer the hub motors for primarily road use and mid drives for off road use. Based on wh/mi seat of the pants observations I have made over the years it is much easier to achieve low wh/mi with a hub motor than a mid drive for road riding when I...

    The State of eMTB in USA

    Divisveness is the new norm here in the U.S. and although the Bay Area seems to be having a hard time accepting the trend of eBikes, heck they still haven't gotten over MTB's as far as I can see, it is not representative of the whole of the country.

    Dengfu E22 Frame Thread

    The big question for me is what connector does the square port use? The DC jack type that the round port uses are not really well rated for charging purposes especially not above 4A. There are several other options like Rosenberg connectors like Brose/Specialized use but there is no standard one...

    Dengfu E22 Frame Thread

    After chewing up a couple of SRAM cassettes, especially the smaller cogs due to lack of chain wrap and high torque and speed thrills. I came to the same conclusion as above but having dealt with IGH's in the past and knowing the cost of entry into that world, as well as complexity, I decided to...

    Bafang Ultra and nothing but!!!

    I don't know of any actual tests regarding efficiency between the BBSHD and the M620 but it just so happens that my ride the other day was with a friend that had his BBSHD bike with a similar sized battery to yours. It wasn't a very hard ride in that we mainly rode on a beach over the 20+ miles...

    Bafang Ultra and nothing but!!!

    Insufficient. I couldn't get much more than 20 miles/2500' out of it here. Not sure what it is with the DengFu supplied battery and some obviously don't find fault with it but it had weak low voltage power and to top that off it would cut off at 43v, even after programming down to 39v LVC, which...

    Dengfu E22 Frame Thread

    My headset kept coming loose and I finally figured out that was the cause. I replaced it with a properly set star fangled nut. Problem solved. I think those are mainly used for carbon fiber steerer tube forks and being a CF company DengFu sending them out that way kind of makes sense in all but...

    Seeking E-Bike riders NW Oregon

    I guess you may not have seen the Fear and Loaming trails by Pacific City? I'm sure the Klootchy Creek trails are great but to me the best trails are the ones that are under my tires at the time. I more than likely will get a chance to ride them someday. I try not to limit myself to just trail...

    Seeking E-Bike riders NW Oregon

    We have some trails and lots of logging roads out here on the Cape. Wilson River trails are about 30 minutes away. Just rode the beach from Barview to Nehalem and back with a friend today for an adventure. I used to live in Seaside and there really aren't alot of trails in the area, some fun...

    Never understood the postage stamp fender craze. Where I live you either have fenders on in the wetter months, and the fuller the better, or take them off when the weather is nice. Just the way it goes.

    When you pass 50 . . . You are an old fart, so let's see your ride!

    50 bah....although I started fooling around with ebikes in my late forties as a mode of transportation with a drop bar ICE 4stroke weed whacker motor bike with a custom steel frame as seen here at Interbike in 2000. Next was a front hub kit on a spare 29"er which I don't have a pic of but it...

    DENGFU E22 BATTERY THREAD

    Mayners two part battery is the one that I think of when someone is pondering how much battery an E22 frame in stock form can hold as the limit.

    This popped up on my screen today, maybe Bafang is finally going to make sense of their specing the CanBus systems? https://bafang-e.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Bafang_PR_Bafang_IOT_-_The_World_of_Connectivity.pdf

    Dengfu E22 Frame Thread

    Back aways in this thread I posted about the same possibility as it makes the most sense. However I couldn't get DengFu to recognize a need for it. If someone had a 3d printer I would imagine it to be totally possible but seems like it would be alot easier for others if they just made one?
