Hopefully the below helps - we have a lot of ebike negative folks in California that try to use the same weak arguments to restrict accees. Class 1 vs. Class 3 E-bikes: a demonstration is the most effective way to show land management staff the practical differences between these classes...

The Moab comments site is a promising initiative. I commend your efforts to secure access for cyclists in Moab. If successful, I strongly recommend implementing enforcement measures on popular trail routes shared with hikers to maintain this access. Proper trail etiquette is crucial for the...

I wait a couple of days between storms as well, I think its the clay content in Marin county that jams up the Assegai treads - I used to ride East Bay and never had the same problems with tires packing up. v

I am going to try and make a go of it with the DHR 2 DD 2.4 as a year round rear as it seems to shed mud good enough for a rear. On the fence between buying a 2.5 DHR 2 for the front or a Maxxis High Roller 3. Inclined to try the High Roller as it is probably a better choice but a bit concerned...

This thread has drifted off into a snow bank, I enjoy a snow filled ride as much as the next guy, but I don't live in a snowy area so please let's try and get back to suggestions for riding in winter where there is just rain and mud and not snow. Thanks, V

WTB guys I know run a 2.6 Vigilante in summer with a Verdict in back and for winter switch to a 2.5 Verdict up front and a Judge in back - if we were going to keep riding the steeps this setup makes alot of sense as I do try and support the WTB folks. However, those tires are overkill for less...

Sounds like a solid setup. Curious - why not run a Big Betty in the rear in winter ? What moves you from the MM to an Assegai for summer ? Also, how much a pain have Schwable thicker casing tires been to mount vs. Maxxis DD/ Thanks, V

Winter is coming. For summer/fall we have been running the almost boring but solid combo of a Maxxis Assegai 2.5 and DHR2 DD in Maxterra. Live in Norcal - so we have lots of clay in the mud, once winter rolls around we stay away from any of the steep stuff ie. 25% or over pitches and stick...

What are you experiencing with aftermarket/ upgrade wheelsets with regard to ease of mounting and unmounting heavier casing Enduro, DD or DH? I have noticed a big variation in difficultly to mount and dismount tires between various aftermarket wheelsets. Note -usually we run Maxxis DHR DD...

Agreed....to note - Trek allows you to push out from 53 mm to 55 mm because you don't have frame clearance issues going wider. Note - unless you change the front chain ring to less than 34T you cannot get any closer in ie less than 53 mm without risking hitting the chain stay under peak load...

Park says it is rated to 80 lbs - sounds like you have a defective stand...sorry that's frustrating

Not saying you misaligned the bike, but were you aware of alignment of the bike in the stand when it fell ? Bikes can fall in most travelling portable stand if they are not correctly aligned. Usually a misalignment happens due to one of several things - 1)the bike starts out in the stand not...

Suggest you reach out to Trek Customer support if you want to know 100%. Trek confirmed for my 2021 Rail 9.7 that 53 mm to 55 mm was the accepted range. If you are running Shimano with the TSB ring there were some issues with a 1 mm spacer to place between the motor and the chainring making the...

The way a carbon wheel feels while riding an eMTB, its durability (hubs, spokes, rim) , warranty, and then weight are factors to consider when choosing a carbon wheelset for ebikes. Weight is the last decision factor as it is way less important than the other factors to us in an EMTB use...

Been riding a Trek Rail with Bosch motor - great bike. Just added a Yeti 160 E with Shimano EP 8. Any suggested setup for the Shimano motor control to make it most like the Bosch unit I am accustomed to riding. I realize the Shimano will unlikely have the same grunt as the Bosch. Tend to run...

I would invest in two person Burley trailer and put both kids in it and enjoy the time riding with the kids. If you choose the Burley route you will for sure want to keep your full power EMTB. We live in the SF bay area and spend alot of time in the sierra mountains so we do alot of climbing...

Good idea just hit unwatch on the thread, I just did so I am out going forward. Good luck guys.

Confirmed with local Specilized dealer it is 50 NM just like Shimano is 35 to 45 nm.
