I do hope so.

I've done some research. It seems that straight-pull spokes have straight ends without any bends, and most hub motor wheels use J-bend spokes.

Did you use straight-pull spokes when you built your wheels? I've heard they might be easier to work with.

What part did you find most challenging when you built your wheels?

I agree with you. I also intend to have a better rim and quality spokes.

Wow! Did you build the wheels yourself? Are they straight-pull spokes?

Haha, I'm not looking to turn my Scott Addict into a cripple☺️ I'm just checking out the options for conversion kits.

I found some hub motors on AliExpress. But I’m not really interested in the pre-laced wheel options most vendors offer— I’d prefer to lace the motor into a rim of my own choosing, ideally one that’s lighter or fits better with my current setup. Has anyone here done this? Like just bought the...

Have you tried it out? I'm curious about the relationship between the motor's power and my own power output. If I want to boost my own power, should I dial back the assist and pump up my cadence? I've looked into it, power seems to be about torque times cadence.

Can you keep your HR mostly in Z2 while going up and down hills with the e-assist?

I'm curious, can it control the power?

OMG. Looks like I gotta decide on this quick.

I've been diving deep into everything ebike related lately cuz I'm thinking of getting an e-road bike (like I mentioned in a previous post). Recently I had a thought—maybe I could use the future e-road bike not just for commuting, but also for doing Z2 training. I live in an area with lots of...

I'm curious...

Stefan, what assist level do you usually ride at on your e-gravel bike?
