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.

I have one for sale!

I wonder if there are any light weight frames out there that are made for an M620?

Not sure what is offered now but the unit I purchased came with a Gates Belt and a manual shifting Rohloff axle. I understand that has changed in the 2025 model.

If I remember correctly I only changed the rear sprocket from a 22 to a 20. Now I can easily keep up with my wife on the road as she averages about 18mph on her Aventon rocket and it did not affect the hill climbing as I rarely get below 5th gear and most of my riding is in 11. I really like...

Thanks for the morning laughs. Weather prediction for up here is several days in the 70 degree F weather. Once all the Memorial Day tourists go home, we will do a 40 miler just to see how long it takes before we get saddle sore. Luckily most of the ride is just rolling hills and relatively flat.

I took out a couple of triangles and measured the meter against them. Both the 30 and 45 degree angles matched the meter. I also went back and remeasured the road. The hill averages between 15 and 17 degree climb.
