We are starting our hot season and I am not wanting to ride; what type of heat will you all tolerate to ride in? Now days early mornings are the only time I would consider a short ride but that time is reserved for the dog walk, poor dog doesn’t like the heat either, paws. My new bike will have...

My bike came with an AXA Café lock incorporated in the frame – purchased an additional cable, not the chain addition. I have used the Café lock many times but have yet used the cable – never far away from the bike in public. The lock key is shared with the bike battery, only when the lock is...

Hi; Thank You for that insight, I should be good the seat tube is long, but, I will double check.

Thank You, both; The Redshift looks great it is my first choice, it should fit - I like it because how simple and small it looks. Our older tarmac roads here develop cracks due to heat stress and as the years go by the cracks widen to often over an inch wide cracks developing about every two...

No hijack: discussions on suspension seat posts enlighten all of us especially because I have never had one and now I am learning more and more about them.

Wow! Thank You for your responses you all have provided great information and now I feel positive that there is a post for my bike. I’m wanting a minimalist approach without a big mechanical device on the post so the eeSilk and the Redshift both caught my eye. It’s pretty warm now and for the...

Hi; I am looking for any suggestions on a suspension seat post for my bike. I have a Gazelle Ultimate T10+ medium frame it is a 27.2 mm post. The Frame is a high step, the distance between the saddle rail and the saddle post clamp is only about 3 and ¾ inches or 95.25mm – I could move the post...

Unusually cool day today so I took advantage and rode to Sacaton ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacaton,_Arizona ) on the Gila River Indian Reservation. It was mildly breezy, a lot of into the wind riding. It was 74ºF when left at 07:45 and it was still cool 85ºF when I got home at 11:00 it was...

I hope your new bike meets all your expectations when it comes in, actually I know it will they are great bikes! A NUBE with E-bikes but a long-time rider; I love my Gazelle; I have the Ultimate T10+. Living where I live it didn’t make sense for me to get any other style bike because all my...

Are you talking about the AXA café wheel lock? Can you still remove the key when it is locked? It is the only time the key can be removed, is it twisted? My lock came with a liquid lubricant on the locking mechanism the tumbler appears to have no lubrication, materials will not rust. As...

We do have winter but nothing like you all have, I do complain about the heat but the reality of it I don't like the cold either. I admire you and the other cold weather riders. The Superstation Mountains once or twice in the winter are covered in snow, not lasting more than a day or two, a...

No heat stroke but we are soon entering the dreaded hot weather so shorter rides. I used to ski many years ago, the lift and runs are so clear on the maps but in reality they are easy to get mixed up.

Today I took a robust ride to the Lost Dutchman State Park ( https://azstateparks.com/lost-dutchman/ ) at the NW base of the Superstation Mountains. The Purion controller said 66 miles but to me it felt much further. When I started my house, thermometer was reading 72ºF, got home five hours...

Funny I just got home from a Post Office run as well (Mother’s Day Card) and saw your post. My trip was so much less eventful though - through the burbs; elevation change, less than one foot but did manage to put in 11 miles at + 23mph, very breezy.

Took a ride to Queen Creek to stretch my legs. I was cool and breezy, never seemed to be riding with the wind, it was nice not to have hot feet. Queen Creek is another township started from a water station for the old steam powered trains, now it is a bustling community on the south east side of...

Could never travel that route with any type of bicycle! Near or in the Sonora Desert? Tucson area? You just posted; north across from where I live by 40 miles in Chandler.

Update: It’s been about two months since I got my Gazelle Ultimate T10+ and I wanted to give a shout out; it is everything I had hoped for! I liken it to driving a Duesenberg of the time. It is large, beautiful, heavy, comfortable, fast, powerful and handles great. Only about 350 miles on the...
