    See if you can find any tier 3 suppliers in aerospace with PEEK experience, that's where I've seen a lot of use. And while plastic processing is not my exact area of expertise, I don't think PEEK is hard to work with, maybe just different from other plastics. Great processability* – PEEK’s...

    Good luck traveling to Ashland. As a former Oregonian, I know out-of-the-way Ashland is. Almost the perfect 1/2 way point between Portland and Sacramento, or you fly into Eugene and leave yourself with almost a 3 hr drive.

    Zen Samurai Diamond

    I always thought a Trek CrossRip+ with Gen 4 motor and power tube would make an amazing bike. Remove the rack and fenders, put on 32c tires, you have a poor man's Domane. Or keep the rack, fenders, and 38c tires and you got a fast and reliable commuter.

    Thanks Pushkar. I know it is impossible to make one bike meet everyone's needs, but it seems like you have a great start on something that will work for a wide range of people.

    What are you thinking for tires? Still the 27.5 x 2.4 Schwalbe Supermoto-X ?

    I'm in as well. Love the idea of a more open platform alternative to the R&M's or Stromer's of the world.

    What were you thinking for the frame material?

    Best bafang ultra motor grease/oil?

    Could be a nylon gear that was the cause. But depending on how you ride, it might be a bad idea to swap out your metal one due to durability issues with nylon. Again, just one possible cause.

    Best bike for long distance touring?

    Not really an expert either, but it looks like the Niner boost fork would be a great option to help convert the UCP into a Touring bike. "The rack mounts midway up the fork legs can support up to 55lbs for your out-there adventures." NINER BOOST RDO MTB FORK
