Has anyone had a chance to ride the Shimano EP801 with auto shifting? Just wondering if anyone has actually ridden it in the wild. I know there are several YouTube videos but would like some more thoughts. Very tempted to build my next bike with it.

That's what I use, but I've used the Muc-Off stuff and it's solid.

Oh no! He was a solid citizen!

5 mile range is referring to tire wear.

Julia... Hot or not?

This is the correct attitude. When your ready to do some research, don't leave Norco off your list. https://www.norco.com/bikes/e-mountain/e-all-mountain/sight-vlt/2023-sight-vlt-a2/

I think we all agree in this thread that the OP's bike is not the ultimate single track steed.

Dang, tough crowd in here!:p

How often do aluminum frames crack/break? I know it's not exactly the same, but I shoot carbon arrows. They can take some very abusive chit and still shoot fine. This video is cool, but it turns into an ad. Just stop watching after the shooting.

BH has not been in North America for a couple of years. Your best bet would probably be to have the battery rebuilt or find a generic equivalent. Can you post a picture of the battery so we can see it?

1st world non-problem.

Not all are paved some are crushed limestone, but well maintained. Mn also passed the Idaho Stop law.

I know Leon! I have a picture of him!

I actually enjoy the Mn winters, lots to do, ice fishing, spearing, fat tire trail riding. If you don't have an outdoor activity it will drive ya nuts, but I enjoy it.
