The Zen is out of warranty and to honest, their customer support was excellent during the first few months as we worked a few minor bugs out of the bike. The only thing they never fixed was a rubbing front fender on the Johnny Watts tires. I ultimately just took off the offending fender...

The Rohloff locked up and stopped shifting. Up until this point there was never a problem. Oil was changed once a year. Rohloff has offered a replacement/repair and so no complaints there. The other option is to get the Rohloff repaired and use the bike only locally, it pulls my doggie...

I have now put close to 1,000 miles on the Zen. While I really cannot complain about any one issue on the bike I have decided to make some changes to make the bike better align with my riding style. I am going to drive the bike down to Boise Idaho and see if it is possible to replace the...

Definitely going with Johnny Watts on the 27.7x4 bike. The tires on her bike is currently 27.5x2,1. I did find a 2.15 tire in Schwalbe Big Ben that should be better than the slick she is currently riding. But for now the bikes are parked in the barn and the batteries are stored in the house...

Thanks, am transitioning locations but will check all of these out. Wife’s bike is 27.5x2.1” but the company claims you can go to 1.5“ ok but 2.0” is touchy. My bike is the 27.5x4” tired bike. I am not having as much trouble as the wife.

We have 2e-bikes that we ride around the mountains in Idaho. The bikes came with relatively smooth tires that do great on the asphalt roads but perform poorly on dirt/gravel/sandy roads and easy to medium trails. I would like to change the tires to multi terrain ( if there is such a thing)...

Went to my local bike shop and had my sit bones measured. 140mm and the measurement tool said I need a 155mm saddle. I purchased a Selle TRK in large as it was 160mm. Due to heavy forest fire smoke, will wait a couple of days to give it a try. (It was the only saddle in stock from Selle). If...

Two or three great sounding saddles to try. I need to find my sit bones template to make sure I am ordering the correct width.

I started out with the saddle that came with my ebike. (E bike selection was a 2 day process visiting several bike shops). The saddle that came with the bike was an hour and a half saddle. I spent a bunch of bucks ordering 6 saddles from Amazon and there was a definite relationship between...

Read your post and have to agree with it…thanks

Agree with suspension post. Live in a very small town. Most of our purchases come from Amazon as the closest city is 3 hours away. That is the biggest reason I asked here. I am in the process of modifying the seating position to a more forward leaning one. I am an old gravel biker that is...

The wife and I are prepping for an e bike ride from Astoria OR to Larkspur CA. It will be a lightweight trip with plenty of pre arranged hotel/motel stays. The bikes are ready and spare batteries, chargers, tools, spares, etc. are all prepped. My biggest worry is sitting in the saddle for 4-6...

When I was bike shopping I looked at a bike from Canada with an Enviolo rear axle but chose the Rohloff simply on the recommendation of a friend that does a lot of bike touring. It has had zero issues as long as the oil is changed as specified.

I have a pedal only Salsa Via (hardtail mtb) that weighs about 30lbs. Am going to power it with a e-bike kit an 18lb add.

Actually it is more of a weight issue. The bike has performed perfectly. My only issue is loading the 85lb+ bike on a bike rack.
