The state laws only apply to roads and state bike paths. All other access is left up to towns and cities to decide. State parks here haven't said either way yet. They are legal on bike paths in some places and generally ignored everywhere. As far as I know, there isn't any legal place to ride...

It's interesting since Colorado's ebike laws are pretty restrictive, I wonder if they know something we don't?

I've got no issues with high powered ebike existing and people riding them, I'm just worried that idiots on the bike path or hiking trail riding a 3000w bike will do more damage to ebike reputation than an idiot on a 250w bike. Instead of pretending they are the same, if 30+mph bikes were...

"Much of this haze is a result of bikes or production product advertised as an ebike when it is actually a motorcycle; example, Stealth Bomber at 50mph." There's no shortage of people who make them and those who ride them who consider anything with an electric motor and pedals an ebike. It's an...

For someone who's job would be to educate dealers on products, including ebikes, he doesn't sound like he knows the bikes or laws very well. Specialized dealers around here just tell people they can ride them where they like, which is unfortunately wrong.

On any tire with a V shaped pattern, which is almost every knobby once you look at it, the bottom point of the V should point forward when you are riding and looking down on the top of the tire. It helps clear the tire when under load and also puts the side knobs at the correct angles when the...

Tire pressure is everything on snow, a lot of people ride down in the single digits. I'd second that a more suitable tire up front would be better, that one is also mounted backwards. ;)

It's been an issue for years, has anyone heard a peep from any of the manufacturers? I don't think they care.

The dongles just double your cut off limit, they don't change anything with the motor. So, instead of PAS kicking out at 20mph, it would be 40, meaning you can get assist all the time.

The OCD bike geek in me desperately wants to straighten your headset.... :eek:

It's nice that they've taken the sponsorship of the entire event. As far as ebike racing goes though, I agree with this article. http://ebike-mtb.com/en/big-danger-nine-reasons-e-mtb-racing/ I'd rather see an ebike group ride, ebikes are all about having fun, and should be promoted like that...

You could try a Buff? http://buffusa.com/ Goggles I guess if glasses aren't cutting it. There's lots of mtb ones out there, also goggle glasses. Glasses with foam seals

They are funded by the bike industry, it's great to see the guys that sell the bikes pushing to gain more access for us. Win Win

Brooks saddles are legendary for their comfort, usually after a break in period. I'm glad to see them branching out into new materials.

Side zip pants are hardly new. The problem with using rain paints of any sort while exercising is that they don't breathe and quickly turn into a sauna. It's a problem that has been around as long as people have been riding bikes, usually solved by people using a cycling cape or getting wet. I...

Damn...... :eek:

Just buy a WTF, add your own hub motor, and save yourself at least $3000. I mean, ti is nice, I have a titanium bike, but this one is essentially the same bike in steel. This one actually has better numbers IMO. http://www.vandesselcycles.com/product/whiskey-tango-foxtrot/

Like others have said, I'd check your chain length. Assuming it would fit on your cranks, you could put a narrow/wide chainring up front which should help a lot. Taller teeth and a tighter fit.

You can also just replace the torx bolts with button hex heads from your local hardware store, get stainless to avoid corrosion. The torx thing is a recent addition to disc rotors and while the manufacturers will often tout that they did it because it's a stronger interface for your wrench, the...
