    Yamaha ditching stock at 1/2 price event going on now!

    I went and touched one at the area DFW dealer (Only one dealer for the whole North Texas area). Glad is was close for me. It was just assembled and waiting on the customer to pick it up. Anyway, these are real nice, well equipped ebikes with good reviews. I was impressed, so we ordered one...

    Volspeed tuning box for Bosch gen 4

    What year/model of Rail is that? The shock looks very different than mine with the external spring. Lots of other things look different to me too. I have this 2021 Trek Rail 7

    Volspeed tuning box for Bosch gen 4

    I have not tried the Walk button mods yet, wasn't aware this was something to look at. I'll do a search for the directions. PS: I'm 64 now, but a "few" years back, I raced motocross (1980s to early - 1990s). I credit this to my interest in eMTB!

    Volspeed tuning box for Bosch gen 4

    My 2021 has this version of the Purion display. Of note, the chip I installed in Jan 2022 does not offer any boost capability like what you are describing, only that the previous speed limiter is moved out. I checked an there are no software upgrades to add it either. I'm happy though with...

    Tire Gauge Reliability

    I use this attached to a pancake compressor. for nearly 3 years now, no issues with sealant. https: // www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FDCHGML I wonder if you are using too much sealant? Also, I place the valve at the 10 or 2 position when checking/inflating pressure, that might be less likely...

    Volspeed tuning box for Bosch gen 4

    My Long range mileage report with the chip. I've had no issues at all on my derestricted "second hand / no warranty" Trek Rail 7 with a Volspeed 4 tuner installed. I activate it on every ride, using all modes (mostly Tour & eMtb). I used a spider to push the front chain ring out so I could...

    Unanswered Dual Purpose tires (MTB & Road)

    Can you reply back after you hit the dirt on those? I tend to ride pretty aggressive on the trails and wonder if there is enough side grip with these. I bet they would be good for street surfaces though!

    Maybe one of these? Although, I'm not crazy having someone's name on my tires? Who was Johnny Watts? Google search didn't help https://www.biketiresdirect.com/product/continental-ruban-shieldwall-29-inch-mtb-tire Review - reading the comments...

    I don't think I would trust tires that are this cheap, but at least the idea is right. https://www.eriksbikeshop.com/vittoria-mezcal-mountain-bike-tire-pr5a11393/p?skuId=8071891

    Unanswered Dual Purpose tires (MTB & Road)

    I have a 2021 Trek Rail 7, 29" x 2.60" off road tires. I love my bike, but the reality is, I mostly ride around my area on roads and only about 10% of my riding is off road. I have nearly 2,000 miles on these tires and am going to replace them soon. Question, has anybody found/used a tire...

    Volspeed tuning box for Bosch gen 4

    Hi, I was wondering if you have the Volspeed 3 or 4? Also, what bike do you have (Year, make, model). I think you are in Australia, do they have the crazy 15mph (24kph) limit like Europe has?

    Anyone Using Spacers to Fit a 36T Chainring

    Anybody want to use a 38 tooth chainring on your Trek Rail? Yep, it fits! ... ... ... I'll post a write-up in a few days. I have clearance!!! Even the chain guide works, but this is the extreme limit for height adjustment. I used two washers, but it looked like it would work with just...

    Anyone Using Spacers to Fit a 36T Chainring

    Here's the 36 Tooth mounted on my Rail. Turns out, that chain guide above is adjustable and still works after finding the sweet spot.

    Anyone Using Spacers to Fit a 36T Chainring

    I have this much clearance with the new 36 tooth chainring. So, I ordered a 38 tooth chainring today. Hope it has clearance too as going from 34 to 36 is not that big of a change.

    Anyone Using Spacers to Fit a 36T Chainring

    When you have time, please can you post a link to where you ordered the back sprocket (10-46) I want to look into that. I wonder if going to a 9 tooth cassette would make sense (for top speed)
