    Oakley Prism Trail

    I have the new Prizm Trail Torch lens: hands down the best lens I’ve ever used. I also had the old Prizm Trail lens but they were too dark.

    Lighter Riders / Heavier Bikes - Handling Struggles?

    I’m a 67kg male and when I moved from a non-electric enduro 27,5” bike to a 29” light ebike I’ve definitively become slower in turns. I think that, if she’s fit enough, she should consider a light ebike (and maybe some specific gym workout + working on her technique).

    Pole Bankrupt

    Those bikes were too strange (actually horrible for my personal taste) and heavy, I’m sorry for them but no surprised at all.

    Levo Gen 3 Magura mt7 upgrade

    That’s exactly what I meant with “hard bleeding” :) The more things you have to do (i.e. remove the caliper, change the bike position in the stand, hit the cable, etc.) the more I consider the bleeding complicated. I think that MT7 are designed in a way that makes the complete elimination of...

    Levo Gen 3 Magura mt7 upgrade

    I do NOT recommend MT7, for some reasons: - impossible pads alignment - noisy rotors (at least the Magura Storm) - pistons became sticky in a very short time and I couldn’t find a solution - bleeding is very, very hard - lever feel is on the spongy side compared to other systems (i.e. Shimano)...

    Levo Gen 3 New brakes... What does everyone run?

    Stronger than Magura, much easier bleeding, less issues with pads alignment (MT7 are a nightmare for that) and even less fading on longer descents. Magura are a bit easier to modulate, tough.

    Levo Gen 3 New brakes... What does everyone run?

    I’ve tried Formula Cura 2, Shimano XT, Magura MT7 and Hayes Dominion A4: for me, Hayes are the best ones hands down 👍

    Garmin Watch and Bosch motor don't play nicely together?

    For me this would be a deal breaker. Bosh be damned for that.

    Shigura vs Hope T4V4

    Is there a specific reason to choose Saint levers over XT/XTR in a Shigura setup?

    Would you buy a bike that can't be derestricted ?

    Of course yes. Zero interest in derestricting e-bikes, for regular mountain biking I don’t even understand why you should do that.

    Orbea Rise Cascade Component Link

    A little bit more travel and rear end forgiveness would be a worthy reason to upgrade!

    Apple Watch Os 10 - big Cycling Update

    You can, but you need an external beacon called HeartBeatz and an app called HeatBeatz Connect. I use it to broadcast the HR from my Apple Watch to my Garmin 830 and it works well.

    Apple Watch Os 10 - big Cycling Update

    As it is right now, I doubt that Watch OS 10 can connect to e-bikes. However, I’m looking forward to that for the future

    New brakes

    If you have the budget, go for Hope. I don’t have them but whoever tries them says they’re amazing…

    Newbie.... just had first demo on an ebike.. surprised how heavy bike is.

    I tried my first e-bike in 2018; after that moment, I didn’t wanted to touch an e-bike again until the mid power, light models came out. Weight sucks. Now I have a carbon Rise. Uphill it’s much better than an analogue bike of course, but in the downs I still miss the lightness of a traditional mtb…

    How long do shimano twelve speed chains last on ebikes

    Rise M10, 75% Eco 25% trail, 68kg biker: at 1.400 km the chain wear is still <0.75 I use Squirt wax for e-bikes.

    phone app for the Rise

    I’m using the combo ST Ride on my iPhone + Apple Watch. The app is not perfect but it’s very good, and the developer is also working to improve it.
