I recently went from the stock stem and 50mm riser bars to a Specialized Comp Multi Stem 24-degree (adjustable from 20 to 28 degrees with shims) and 80mm riser bars. This is pretty much maxed out for rise without using a stem extender, and also without replacing the left brake cable. I don't...

Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm doing. I was going to sell the Vado and try the Haibike as a one bike solution, probably with a set of street wheels, but that pulley setup is not good for eating a lot of street miles...

This mountain side Frank Lloyd Wright design was up for a no reserve auction. I bid up to my wife's comfort level but didn't get it. I guess I'd rather be married than have this house, but boy, what a view! Amazing design. I think I'd rather have the house! 😁 (But I'm divorced so it doesn't...

@T.i.g Sorry man, I've been working in the Vado and the Haibike was hanging on a wall in the garage behind a car. I got it out finally and heading back into the jungle this week 😁 I think we're in the same place pretty much as far as chain length, yours being a little shorter:

No worries @Brendon@TBSM I figured out what I needed without the measurement, but I’ll post it here when my new tires arrive.

@T.i.g Just saw this, yes I will see if I can get a photo tomorrow.

Hey all, does anyone know the inner width if the Vado rim? Outer is 32mm. Thanks!

Yup, that was me. I was all over this problem for a month and finally gave up. Then fixed it accidentally by shortening the chain due to a shifting problem. It's still gets noisy beginning 20-30 miles after lube, but not nearly as loud as it was. It looks appears the things that make the...

Thanks for the info, Pure looks right. Oddly enough a couple of days after I posted this a friend showed up with one on a used bike he just bought...

Update: I didn’t very hard to sell it, just Craigslist and this post. Best offer so far $3,000 cash but I couldn’t do it. Looks lime I’ll buy some new things for it and ride it instead 😁

Yup, that Rans Fusion sure looks comfy! Right now I'm riding my Haibike FullSeven. I wasn't particularly interested in switching saddles since I've tried so many. But I ran across this photo by accident and thought, hmmm.

Yup, and we'd be twins since I have one too!

I have a lot of issues with numbness and discomfort and have tried about 15 saddles in the past two years. From Specialized Power to Serfas Comfort and everything in between (except Brooks, and I've heard all the arguments :D). The best I've found yet is the WTB Koda, and it's significantly...

Looking for mid drive but I’ll probably call Lenny’s this week. @tomdav 5’8”

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes it’s pretty lean out there. That MB is nice but Sept/Oct delivery.

Nice, thanks for the link.

Really? You want a motor? You're 7 years younger than me, can't you just pedal a little harder? 😄 So I've been looking around for deals. I want something nice, but it will be used lightly, like maybe 2-3 times per month. Has to be a full suspension eMTB so she can keep up with me on the...

That's great info, thanks for posting. I've heard of those bearings going that fast, it's really surprising. I've also heard of them lasting a couple thousand miles. Were there any symptoms other than noise that the bearing was shot? Now that you mention it I need to check my chain length on...

35mm internal 2.6, shouldn’t require trimming. Was using Tubolitos. I was at the end and had it all in there. The Armour was all inside (which was tricky). I’m sure most of you have experienced a very tight wire bead where the last 6 inches takes some work. This was about 8-9 inches, and even...

Wrong term. I couldn't get the last 8 inches for the life of me. Yeah, it's not listed as a size that needs to be trimmed, but I bet it would help. I got everything inside okay but it was very tight. Well, for now I'm over it. They are on with tubes and I'm happy for the moment.
