Is there a national (USA) locating system for finding a specific model and size of a Trek E bike? I'm Looking for a Domane+ HP in 56cm. Local Trek dealer didn't seem interested beyond "maybe around Christmas 2022".

Thanks. I guess that's the result of the manufacturer being in another country.

I can't see how one would "align" a chain on a single chainring. Do you mean "clock" the links on the chainring as depicted on the sticker?

791mm is 31.14 inches. Agreed it, does seem a little high for a "small" frame.

Thanks

Has anyone got any info on the 2021 Creo SL Carbon Comp re changes and availability? I thought I read somewhere that 2021 versions would have mode selector switches on the handlebars. Is that the only changes for 2021 models and when they might be available? My LBS has 2020 models, I wonder...

I could never give up riding these or any of their stable mates. E-bikes are great but there's something about an old steel race bike that can't be matched.

A 46x11 is a 110 inch gear; at 110 rpm that's right at 36 mph. I have a smaller "big gear" on my analog race bikes and never find myself looking for more (50x12, 108 inches).

Thank you very much, you may have saved me a lot of money.

The Giant Road E + is on my short list. What kind of trouble have you had that the bikes had to be replaced? I may need to look at the Yamaha.

For me, the one area where the pedal assist system holds an edge over a throttle bike is target HR training. The pedal assist system can be programed to assist/lightly assist/ or not assist based on the entered/desired HR zone for that training session. Today would be a good example of that...

Five time TDF winner Bernard Hinault helped design Look's new E-Road Bike. One more reason roadies are going to accept E-bikes for the asset they are. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/bernard-hinault-endorses-new-look-e-765-optimum-e-road-bike/

I'm ok with an external battery pack for additional frame integrity. And....truth be told I have to give them credit for at least trying. But wow, that price to go 20mph is steep.

NINE GRAND and it has the motor that will only go 20mph. I can make a bike go 20mph, I want class 3 power/speed or forget it. I knew they'd be over priced but that's ridiculous. https://lynskeyperformance.com/gr-270e-gravel-e-bike/

It's a bike, but it has an electric motor to assist it. But for handling skills, it's no different than riding with a group of Cat 1s & 2s. As a former road racer, I'd welcome the chance to ride with someone on an E-Road Bike (provided their paceline skills are consummate with the group). He...

One of the big reasons an E-bike may feel unsettling at highers speeds, say 28 mph for instance, is because the rider of an E-bike may not have enough time on task at those speeds. A trained road cyclist will put in many hours at that speed on flat ground in training rides and racing with...

There are some very good points above ^ for E Road bikes with drop bars. It's true, some people have flexibility issues and can't or don't prefer to ride bikes with drop bars. For me, an E Road bike would fit right into my 6 day a week training program. It would allow me to train 6 days a...

I wonder how much this will be?? I wouldn't be a buyer with the CX motor. I could be tempted with the performance motor that goes 28 mph. I wonder if it will be an option...

Thanks for the link JRA, I'll explore it further. The 48 vs 36v thing makes sense now. I'll do some more research as the conference in Fort Worth is coming up pretty quick. I'll have to see if I can find a list of the E-bike vendors that will be attending. As far labeling nomenclature. Is...

I've seen that somewhere before.......;)
