    On Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO what's the largest 700c tire have you fitted?

    I want to get a bigger tires on my Creo, currently running the Rhombus Pro 42mm. I have though about dropping to a set of 650B wheels and tires, but I also don't want to spend more money than I need too. I do want to stick to semi-aggressive tires, similar to the tires Rhombus (tires like the...

    Intuvia upgrade to Kiox : anyone done this?

    I have upgraded a previous bike that came with Intuvia to Purion, had no issues and yes the motor (most nerve racking first time doing it) needed to be dropped. And on another bike I went from a Purion to a Kiox with no issues, same deal, the motor needed to be dropped. So it's totally possible...

    EMTB-Lite?

    The new updates are out, for the "Magic Tour" (or Tour+), if you have a Gen4 CX motor and new updates for the Kiox and some of the other computers. Tour+ mode replaces the Tour mode (whether if its standard Tour or eMTB Lite), but still shows Tour on the Kiox. From my short urban ride with the...

    What's the correct wheel circumference for 29" MTB wheels on the Kiox?

    The original tires that came with the bike were the Bontrager XR5 (29x2.6"). My current set are a set of Maxxis 29"x2.5" (front- Asseai, rear- Aggressor). I just redid the measure using your recommended method and with my current pressure of 30psi, it rolled out to 89". Thank you, for the...

    What's the correct wheel circumference for 29" MTB wheels on the Kiox?

    Thanks Peter, I'll try that in the morning. (Sorry for being a PITA) Quick question, what sizes are your tires and do you have the same limits of 91.37" on your system.

    What's the correct wheel circumference for 29" MTB wheels on the Kiox?

    I have done the multiple measuring methods, and came to roughly the same numbers as Cateye's calculator. I guess I need to take another trip to a Trek dealer and see if what they can do?

    What's the correct wheel circumference for 29" MTB wheels on the Kiox?

    Trek Rail 5 2020

    The Rail is good overall, as an owner of a 2020 Rail 9.7. But you would finding yourself upgrading parts with the lower model. Not sure if the frame has enough clearance for 2.8, though the 2.6 are huge enough for most terrain. What I changed immediately, since I had the parts already: seat...

    Is there any DOT headlight?

    I usually run my lights pointed down, but forward enough that I can see the road ahead me (roughly 10-12). That being said, living and riding in NYC, depending where Im at, I might point it up, so I can be seen by pedestrians (especially). They will just walk out in to traffic or in-between...

    Bosch Cx and Intuvia

    If I remember correctly when you switch to Sport, it will flash EMTB, then switch back to Sport. You can feel the difference, it will feel like Tour (moderate power) till you hit something hilly and then it feel like its in Turbo (full power). It took me a while to get use to, more so now that...

    Bosch Gen 4 Ebike Updates (More Torque, Improved eMTB Mode, Increased Power at Low Cadence, Navigation with Kiox, New Nyon for Europe & US)

    How do I get to update the Kiox? Im on an iPhone, do I leave the Kiox on the bike with the app open and bike On? Or with the Kiox on an USB power supply and app open? And are there steps I should follow?

    Bosch Cx and Intuvia

    From my experience with the Intuvia and the Gen3 motor, the Sport mode = EMTB mode. The Tour mode will provide 120% of assist, while the Sport/EMTB mode gives 120-300% assist, depending on hard you pedal and resistance the motor feels. I use EMTB mostly when riding trails, which allows me to...

    Check your rims...

    Update: Received my wheel back today, after a few weeks at two different shops (the seller/shipper & a local shop who was building the wheel). Short sidebar story, I purchased the Wheel set from Performance Bicycles, over the past year they went out of business and got brought out by A-Main...

    Check your rims...

    Don't think the bike brand matters, since these were wheels I upgraded too, maybe about 3-4 months after purchasing the bike and realizing the original set it had unsealed bearings. Not sure why any eMTB (or bike, costing a few grand) would come with unsealed bearing wheels. The motor is a Bosch...

    Check your rims...

    In all my years of mountain biking, I never experienced this till now, while wiping down the wheels I noticed a stress cracks on a few spoke holes. After closer inspection, the marks are on all along the drive-side on every spoke hole. Could be from the extra (torque) pressure that the motor are...
