Eco has its place and is still better than the analog bike. I use Eco a lot on false flats and undulating but not steep terrain. I like to save battery for the steeper stuff

Recently switched to RevGrips and they're worth every dollar. No more numb or fatigued hands. They're really a game changer, highly recommended. I was literally having crashes because my hands hurt so bad (this got worse after getting Covid in early August). To be able to ride for several hours...

Grips-Ergon GE1 Saddle-WTB Laser V (been using this model for many years)

I've tried several different flat pedals and these have been my favorites (for the record Crank Bros Stamp 1's were my absolute least favorite). They are thin but large...

Hello, just got a YT Decoy 29 this winter on sale and have had a few rides locally (Oregon and Washington) with it. The ebike has allowed me to get back to riding the trails I love after a decade plus of health issues. Slowly working my way back into some semblance of riding shape.
