Ah yes, cycling the "Kank" is a rite of passage for NH cyclists. My husband and I did it about 6 years ago (pre-e-bike). We went west to east, stayed overnight in Conway, and cycled back the next day. We had good weather and not too much traffic; the downhills after the peak were amazing even if...

MdgColorado: I do use side loading water bottle cages for both bottles. The cage on the seat tube is made by Topeak, is easily removable, and slides off with a quick press. But I haven't removed the battery in a long time; I just charge it on the bike. It is now my 4th season with this bike and...

Hi Anthony, I just happened on your post when I was looking something up for someone else. Apparently it's a common problem - I found this on-line Brenda

I have heard good things about those tires. Thanks for sharing your experience!

I walked sections of loose 'gravel' (?) like this... I would have wanted a fat tire bike, but even then I might have been walking. ;)

Thanks for your answer! This also helps me answer some questions that I've had from some e-bike wannabes. ;) The WTB Byway tires look very similar to the WTB Expanse 32c with the exception that the 47 tires have a little knobby on the outside edge in addition to being wider. The smooth center...

carsonjones: A question just out of curiosity... I know that you have both 700c tires and wheels and 650b wheels with wider tires and that you can hot-swap between the two sets on your Synapse Neo 1. Do you do this often, or do you find that you are mostly leaving one set of tires/wheels on the...

Angryrice_esq: Great review! I also have the Cannondale Synapse Neo 1 and this is my second riding season with it. I also had a flat from a sizeable shard of glass at 100 miles, which was a bit disturbing, but haven't had one since. I decided I really liked the tires on the mix of dirt and...

This is actually my husband's problem with his bike, but I thought one of you might be able to help. Here's what he says: "I have an ICE trike with a Rohloff hub and Shimano Steps E6100 electric assist. I really like riding it but I am having persistent ongoing problems with the motor. When...

Sounds like you have done your homework. Have fun with your Trek!

Hello Goodleg: My husband rides an e-trike because of balance problems. He got an ICE e-trike from The Bicycleman in Alfred Station, NY. That shop deals in recumbents and trikes and may not be too much of a drive for you depending on where you live in PA. It might be worth checking out. Welcome...

Thanks for your reply! I have the Active Line Plus on a Cannondale Neo 1 e-bike, so I guess this software update does not affect me. I have been having fun going down the torque/power rabbit hole trying to learn about how torque limits affect riding when applying high torques and low pedal...

I posted this question in another thread, but it may be more appropriate here. I have a Cannondale Synapse Neo 1 e-bike with an Active Line Plus motor and Purion display. I have heard that there is a software update that increases torque and/or power. I am happy with the current motor/Purion...

Question: I am happy with the current motor/Purion controller settings. Does the torque increase mean that it will use more battery in any given assist setting? If so, it seems as if the range will decrease even if you use ECO for your whole ride. Is this true?

Wow -- these links make a fun read! The sealant sounds amazing, and all your other "creations" and "solutions" make me sorry you don't live near me so that I could get bike advice when necessary. Shoegoo is one of my favorite things! I currently have Shoegoo repairs on my bike shoes, my saddle...

You have a great comment, m@Robertson! I'm envisioning you out in the wilds with your shoes off struggling with your tire. Do you have prehensile feet? I might have to practice picking up marbles with my toes to strengthen them. Those My Other Brother Darryl rims sound like killers.. when...

Thanks for your reply TowpathTraveler! Your comment made me smile... though I understand that unfortunate happenings in the wild are not very amusing at the time. I find it rather fascinating that we all have to figure this out by ourselves. Is there no one to warn the unwary of potential...

JRA - Thanks for leading me into the details, I will peruse the site you included! I agree that getting the bead of the tire reseated into the groove in the rim can be an issue. I upgraded my frame pump so that I can achieve the pressures needed to reseat the bead. Sometimes I have to...

Luto - Thanks for your reply. I am beginning to think that the difficulty has a lot to do with the particular tire and rim combination. I usually use 55 psi on road rides. I have 700c x 32c road tires and RD 2.0 rims. Perhaps those who have mountain bikes with larger tires have less of a...
