DJI Avinox should hire him as a demonstrator of damaging the most advanced e-bike system in no time :)

No price drop on Specialized in Europe. I wonder why. The least expensive Vado SL 2 is around US$4,000. What did you pay for yours, Barry? I have been in as many as 7 e-bike gravel races since May 2024. A single organiser allows the format an he has got a Bosch E-Bike sponsorship. Recently...

When they get seriously untrue, and after truing them by any bike mechanic these become untrue again. That might happen after, say, 20 thousand kilometres but not after two thousand. There are many wheel-builders around the EU (these should also be present in Switzerland). I ordered a rear...

Congratulations to @Chargeride for the English football team advancing to the next round of FIFA World Cup! That man Kane s a real football hero but he wouldn't do that without his excellent team! Like the most, I thought Kongo would have won! What an unexpected turn of events! I also wonder if...

Ah, that's you, Barry! :) Indeed, your avg speed on the SL 2 is nice!

It's been a Wahoo ACE for a pretty long time now!

I wonder if I liked trading the temps for the headwind :) Guys, two lethal cycling accidents happened last weekend in Poland. A 30-yo cyclist died because of excessive heat. Another man, a 71-yo experienced cyclist went MIA on just a 28 km route! He was found dead two days later near the finish...

Sudovia with Tommy: Day 3 - Lithuania We offended our host Aga on Sunday by asking for not making the breakfast for us, as we intended to set off for the ride around 6:00 a.m. She is overprotective and overly welcoming her guests! :) Well, the first part of our ride northwards led through a...

Sudovia with Tommy: Day 2 - Main Ride After we ate a big breakfast at Aga's guest-house, I and Tommy went straight on the ride to follow the route of Sudovia Gravel 2026 that I already completed in May under perfect weather and road conditions. The plan was to ride for 102 km with 1,400 m...

@Chargeride: I just want to remind you England suffered drought in 2025. "When you start complaining about the heat in August, I'll remind you what you said in July". A 2011 meme I made during a cold and rainy month of that year. "When the summer weather gets to you Remember, remember the...

The Sudovia Trip, Return, The Hottest Day in Poland! Friday afternoon to Sunday 2 p.m. were fabulous riding days for me and Tommy. We were cooled by the wind, were properly fed and hydrated, swam in lakes, ate delicious Podlachian/Sudovian food. We even took a trip to Lithuania! I'll try to...

In Amazing Sudovia Again I and Tommy took a train from Warsaw to Suwałki yesterday. The train with its final destination in Mockava (Lithuania, not Moskva of Russia!) was full of cyclists, and we are talking multiple carriages. For instance, there were as many as 13 bikes in our carriage! All...

A couple of years taken literally. Two, precisely. Now, is the warranty over, or?

@stompandgo, you wrote: I understood it as the "total system weight limit". You meant "rider + cargo"? Or, just "cargo"? So, which "weight limit", precisely? Now, I do not trust the specs given by Amflow at all. First of all, the rims. The strongest commercial rims I've heard of were of the...
