Roshan would you say there is a minimum size to not go below?

I never need more speed on my Jug Ultra but would love a little more help from Granny on my long climbs .... anyone done this?

Neither fog nor gloom nor dark of night shall keep these riders from their appointed rounds!

The snow melted enough to get to the top of Lookout on Saturday; some cool clouds, too. The San Juan islands and Puget Sound peek out in the background.

Awesome, ty

Hi Roshan, Sorry if this has already been asked - but will there be a kit or add-on that might turn my original Jug Ultra into a rig that can host two batteries?

Hello and welcome from your neighbor just across the border to the south in Bellingham! Cheers mate!

Not inexpensive but a really, really good rack: https://www.etrailer.com/RV-and-Camper-Bike-Racks/Swagman/S64678.html?feed=npn&gclid=Cj0KCQiA7qP9BRCLARIsABDaZzjwDHpnZQNY5lHx0mjnQiBWR5VruyItFns6BS6nLuJGYP1G2w85J9EaAm0kEALw_wcB

Looking north to Canada's Coast Range on the horizon across a scattering of Cascade foothills, with The Sisters looming and Mount Baker peeking out behind them. From Lyman Hill near Acme, WA., elev. 4000' on a chilly November Sunday!

Ah, ok ... what is on there now is the SRAM NX 11 Speed that came with the bike.

No chance I would furnish all that info to somebody I didn't know in order to buy a used bike. JMHO.

So anything more than bumping up to 46T would also necessitate a new derailleur as well?

Was certainly a <gulp> moment ... was 10 miles from my car at this point.

Thank you Ravi

Good discussion! I have a question about the other side of the drivetrain: I'd love an even lower option for my long climbs. My 11/42 cassette is fine but am I correct in assuming that something like a 48 or 52 would give me that much more? For example, my neighbor's Trek Rail 5 has a SRAM 11-50...

Well, for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere anyway, there is no fooling ourselves: summer really *IS* over ... but I am interested to hear from you folks on what kind of gear you find essential for winter riding. My core tends to stay warm as I exercise, but legs/hands are tougher to keep...

Hi Reed, There are a ton of things you can do to minimize wear on your transmission (I have an Ultra-powered bike too, and most of my riding consists of long climbs and then long descents on fire roads, so similar to what you are talking about, maybe just a bit hillier). First (and I am not a...

Lar: Is there a reason you really want a hub drive?

Biktrix Stunner X - my wife loves hers.

I thought about that ... my rides are so binary - almost always either going up for half the ride or going down for the other half, I didn't think the lack of cutoffs would be an issue. So far it's been fine, but Roshan your post makes me realize I need to be extra careful. Like I said, I wish I...
