Lumens aren't as important as the marketing folks make them out to be. The quality of the beam goes a lot further to make the light usable. I swapped from a Gemini unit with all the lumens and much prefer the outbound setup for trail riding. D

I ride maxxis tires usually in a dh casing, I do run double down up front if I have to. The tough casings are the most important part and cushcore f/r helps a whole lot too. Not one flat this season and its rocky af where I ride. D

I ride a 23' norco bigfoot vlt 1 ep8 with the 27.5 wheels and previously had an 18' gen 1 vlt bigfoot e8000 with 26" wheels. Both are great and make all the difference in the snow compared to a muscle fattie. Winter is actually where an ebike shines brightest imop especially if you get proper...

I have a few marks like that on mine but not as severe. Rocks were definitely the culprit. D

Outbound lights are the only lights. I have the dh evo bar/helmet combo and I can ride technical trails just as fast at night as in the day time. Bonus points for the batteries being integrated into the lights so no cords to tangle. Don't just take my word for it though. D

Casettes on both wheelsets were starting to shift like crap and I broke my chain for the second time this weekend. So.. the new cassettes and chain I was saving for the winter overhaul got put on early. Brake pads were in dire need of replacing as well so some Uberbike race matrix units got slid...

Did the loop around lake laurentian today, it was -4 when we started and +5 when we finished. Lots of icy spots on the trail and the lake had a good crust in the morning. Gertrude the 10 year old black lab was a fu#*ing champ today! She kept up without issues and had a blast. D

All bike washes are a scam, just use water and a cloth or cheap auto wash soap if you really think you need suds. D

Rain ride the other evening with the dog. https://youtube.com/shorts/YknXCsnHYj8?si=cZAtAQNW3qIz5-j4 D

Ripped the Azilda trails today and managed to outrun the rain. D

I find muscle bikes just feel wierd now when I ride them downhill. I guess I'm used to the extra weight down low now that I've been eebing the last two seasons but regular bikes feel twitchy and the suspension doesn't seem to work nearly as well... D

My simple solution is to not have the battery charging when I'm not in the garage. Has worked very well so far. D

Quick rip with the dog the other day. D

Irritable bowel syndrome is no joke brother! D

And today it was wet and poopy.. D

It was a little gloomy out there yesterday. D

Rode the Skeaduro trails with Wes the other day. Leaves are really turning now and parts of the trail were slippy af. Good times. D

Leaves are changing colors and the weather is goregeous! D

The left pedal made noise after you put on a dropper? Interesting... D

My actual ep8 failure experience. The ep8 on my bullit went out at 1800ish km after being flawless. The story I got (roughly a month and a half ago, in Ontario Canada) was that shimano had no units available and it wouldn't be replaced till december which was a huge bummer. Luckily, when the...
