    Mulleting a 29er norco sight.

    Yeah there's One place where I can ride it, that's a total blast, just put it in boost and haul ass, it's fun. And It climbs steep non tech stuff pretty well. I bought it without having ridden it first, which was a mistake. I wish I could say that was my first purchasing mistake. But in the...

    Mulleting a 29er norco sight.

    I'm chiming in because I have a 2022 sight vlt. But I found it impractical on most of my local trails, which are tight twisty & rocky. It's a tank, wheelbase is too long and the bottom bracket too low. I saw on YouTube a guy was planning on getting the yoke off a Range Vlt to get more clearance...

    Orbea Rise or Trek Fuel EXE (i know again!) Buying advice

    I bought the 2023 Orbea H20 and I like it. But I wasn't happy about their proprietary stem and head set spacer's or their weird handlebar. So that all had to be replaced. I've always been between a Lg & XL. I'm 5'11, 32 inseam. I got the Lg. But put 100mm stem on it and I have a good fit. I...

    bike horn that imitates duck quack?

    I'm going with, it was a phone ringing (quacking). Probably not the best ring tone during hunting season.

    Orbea Rise H20 (2023) add sc-en600

    Thanks, I have 2024 rise H20. I wasn't sure whether to invest in the diplay, if it took away functionality.

    Orbea Rise H20 (2023) add sc-en600

    Hmmmm I have the less expensive, not cable routed thru the headset version, but I was also wondering, if you attach the sc en600 display, does that interfere with / eliminate the Bluetooth connection, to the shimano app, or would you have both ?

    Orbea Rise H20 (2023) add sc-en600

    I'm interested in adding a display as well (kind of ridiculous that my H20 doesn't come with one) where did you purchase the wire that runs from the controller to the display?

    Dropper post with suspension?

    PNW Loam Dropper post. I bought one & I think it's pretty awesome. Comes in several sizes, but not 27.2. It's internally routed as well. I apologize if this has already been covered.

    Light back protector VS backpack

    Winter boots

    If its warmth you're after, Thermerup heated insoles are pretty darn good. Rechargeable batteries, put them in whatever shoe you feel like wearing that day. The battery goes in a velcro band around your ankle. It can be mildly uncomfortable, you have to get it on the meat of your ankle vs...

    Let’s talk crank arm lengths…

    The Stache is a popular bike around here too. Look at Miranda ( get to their website) out of Portugal. Figure out the crank that fits your motor. They make lengths that start at 150mm and go up from there. It cost me $87 total, & shipped from Portugal in 3 days. (They obviously want to impress...

    Let’s talk crank arm lengths…

    Yeah, 150mm is going to be interesting. I'm guessing I will probably hate them. I live in Massachusetts usa, and it can get frigging rocky on some of the trails around here. I know about reading the trail, but reading the trail and rock gardens are two different things. My 170mm fork just...

    Let’s talk crank arm lengths…

    I think the question isn't, why don't ebike co's spec longer cranks, but when will they make bikes with higher bottom brackets. I assume miranda is making a 150mm crank because they saw a market place need, and they decided to capitalize on it. Remember the switch from 2x drivetrains to 1x. I...

    Let’s talk crank arm lengths…

    On my regular mtb I run 175 cranks. I bought a used frame from my local store because it ran a 160 mm fork, I was using 140mm and wanted to try something longer. But the bottom bracket was so low, the pedal strikes were unbearable. I switched to 165 mm cranks, but I couldn't get used to them...

    Norco Sight VLT Skid Guard fixing

    Hey Gent's, I attached that pad with "shoe goo" adhesive. I bought a rockstop skid guard. But attached it with long zip ties instead of the supplied adhesive pads. Not sure how many good scrapes it can withstand, I've only got 2 rides in so far. You would have to cut the last zip tie to get...
